Especially if we see Aladdin was one of the victims of Rumple.
I was thinking more along the lines of someone else having made Aladdin a Saviour for whatever reason, and Rumple heard about it, and then included the same concept as a component of his own Dark Curse.
That would actually be interesting!!! If maybe perhaps Jafar had his own version of the Dark Curse and Aladdin had been made the savior to break that curse, which is where Rumplestilskin would’ve gotten his inspiration for it. But then it’d raise the question, who killed the thing they loved most to enact the curse?
