Well, I think the idea of Whale being a spy for THO is pretty solid and I’d like to see it explored. But he is in SB because Regina brought him here. She brought who she wanted, even if they were from other realms. She brought people she wanted to punish for wronging her; this included Whale and Jefferson, two people who were in other realms at the time the curse hit. We can’t use Whale as an example of how the curse affected other lands because he is here for a specific reason: he pissed off Regina.
