Okay, we were theorizing in chat and I brought out my parallel to the movie Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I think I posted this elsewhere, but I’m reposting it. It’s conversation between Will Scarlet and Robin Hood. Imagine replacing those names with Peter Pan and Rumplestiltskin and there we have the basis for my theory of Rumple=Peter Pan’s brother:
Robin Hood: Did I wrong you in another life, Will Scarlett? Where does this intolerable hatred for me come from?
Will Scarlett: From knowing that… that our father loved you more than me.
Robin Hood: Our father?
Will Scarlett: We are brothers, Robin of Locksley. I am the son of the woman who replaced your dead mother for a time.
I could see it turning out much like this passage.
Keeper of Rumplestiltskin's and Neal's spears and war paint and crystal ball.
