Not neccessarily. If August is Pinnochio, I believe he will be with Emma all the way to the end. Let’s say he is Baelfire…..I think he’ll be a friend long enough to get close to Gold and kill him of have her kill him. In other words, I’m not so sure where Baelfire would stand. If he is one of the authors, he may not help anybody. He’ll just be there to write everything down.
Yeah, you are right. Who he is will govern his loyalty definitely. It will make him for, against or neutral.
