I think Rumpel is Evil.
We don’t really know the situation of the Ogre wars. It may have been die or fight for all we know. The guard that was collecting the children was not good, but i don’t think taking the children to fight is in and of itself evil. We just don’t know enough about the situation.
I would say that burning down the Duke’s house as a 5.
Killing the dark one as a 5 because he meant to kill him and was not tricked into killing him. He didn’t know that the consequences of killing him would be that he would become the new dark one, but he did mean to kill him.
Killing the guards a 5 because with the exception of the head guard, who seems like a nasty piece of work, we just don’t know enough about the situation that killing all of them seems like the right thing to do. And Rumpel could have ordered them away instead of killing them because he had the upper hand.
I don’t think we know whether or not the Fairy Godmother is evil or not. Rumpel said she was evil. I am going to give that a 5 only because it seems unnecessary to kill her just to take the wand, but maybe not.
I think the reason why people think Rumpel is not evil is because it seems like he might be working to end the curse. The thing is that may be for his complete self interest. We just don’t know what game he is playing. He may want to die so that he is not the dark one. He may want to kill Regina. He may want to destroy the world. I just don’t think we know enough at this point.
I think even if he helps Emma end the curse the way he is going about it is evil so he is evil.
