Cast aside by his father, who ventures off to the enchanting realm of Neverland and assumes the identity of Peter Pan, and his mother Fiona, Rumplestiltskin/Mr Gold finds solace in the care of dedicated spinsters. Eventually, he finds love in the arms of a woman named Milah, and together they create a contented life. However, destiny takes a peculiar turn when Rumplestiltskin is chosen to join the valiant army and confront the menacing ogres. Positioned close to the battlegrounds and now a soldier, Rumplestiltskin is entrusted with the duty of safeguarding a seer, unjustly confined within a cage. Astonishingly, the seer unveils a chilling prophecy to Rumplestiltskin, foretelling his demise as the soldiers traverse into combat on cows. Initially dismissing these words, Rumplestiltskin's comprehension dawns upon him when he uncovers the clandestine meaning of "cows" as a colloquial term for leather saddles. Consumed by fear, he takes decisive action by employing a hammer to fracture his own leg, thus securing his return home. Nevertheless, upon his arrival, Milah's countenance twists with repulsion as she condemns Rumplestiltskin's perceived cowardice, subsequently seeking solace in the company of a band of pirates at a local tavern. Eventually, Milah abandons both Rumplestiltskin and their son Baelfire, succumbing to the allure of an audacious pirate's life. Rumplestiltskin, now deemed the village pariah, languishes in his perceived cowardice until the dire circumstances surrounding Baelfire's imminent conscription into war force him to take drastic measures. In a desperate bid, Rumplestiltskin seizes a mystical dagger intrinsically linked to the formidable Dark One, conjuring forth the entity known as Zoso.

In a twist of fate, Rumplestiltskin becomes the Dark One after a deadly encounter with his nemesis, the Dark One himself. With his newfound dark magic, Rumplestiltskin eliminates the soldiers seeking his son, Baelfire, thus bringing an end to the war. However, his transformation also brings forth a disturbing change in his demeanor, causing concern in Baelfire. Seeking assistance from the Blue Fairy, Baelfire obtains a magical bean to transport them to a world devoid of magic, where Rumplestiltskin's dark powers would no longer exist. Tragically, Rumplestiltskin clings to his power and abandons Baelfire, who is inadvertently drawn into the portal alone. Filled with remorse, Rumplestiltskin vows to find his son at any cost. Gaining foresight abilities from a seer encountered during the war, Rumplestiltskin learns that the key to his quest lies with Cora's daughter. He proceeds to train both daughters, Zelena (Zelena Mills from Once Upon A Time) and Regina (Regina Mills from Once Upon A Time), but Zelena's envy drives her away when she realizes Rumplestiltskin continues to favor Regina, with whom he kindled a veiled fiery sex tryst of dominion (him) and submission (her). Devoting himself to corrupting Regina, Rumplestiltskin ultimately manipulates her into casting the Dark Curse, which transports everyone, including himself, to the town of Storybrooke.

Now In the quaint town of Storybrooke, a transformation takes place as the enigmatic Rumplestiltskin assumes the guise of Mr. Gold, a mysterious and affluent entrepreneur who presides over a pawnshop, in a human form of an old handsome man. Bound by a curse that afflicts all inhabitants save for Regina and Jefferson (and secretly Rumple himself) , his dormant memories are reawakened upon the arrival of Emma Swan, whose mere utterance of her name serves as a catalyst for his recollection of his true identity as Rumplestiltskin. In an unexpected turn of events, Emma intervenes in a precarious transaction involving Gold's intent to separate Ashley Boyd from her cherished child. Finding herself entangled in a precarious web, Emma strikes a pact with Gold, ensuring Ashley's safety in exchange for a future favor owed to him. The arrival of a mysterious stranger known as August Booth in Storybrooke sparks a glimmer of hope within Gold, who mistakenly believes him to be his long-lost son, Baelfire. Yet, his hopes are shattered when he entrusts August with his treasured dagger, only to have his attempts at control thwarted. As Emma successfully shatters the initial Dark Curse, Rumplestiltskin employs a precious vial of true love, painstakingly crafted within the enchanting realms of the Enchanted Forest, to bestow the gift of magic upon the realm of Storybrooke, shrouding the town in an ethereal haze of smoke.

Renowned for his unparalleled sorcery, Rumplestiltskin possesses a vast repertoire of extraordinary abilities that transcend the boundaries of all realms.

The Dark One, known as Rumplestiltskin, possesses an extraordinary mastery of the darkest forms of magic. His abilities include the power of teleportation, enabling him to effortlessly transport himself and others. He also possesses telekinetic powers, allowing him to manipulate objects and individuals, effortlessly moving them from one location to another. Furthermore, Rumplestiltskin exhibits a remarkable control over the elements, particularly fire, as well as the ability to manipulate other natural forces. Astonishingly, he possesses the gift of healing, capable of magically mending even the most severe wounds, such as gunshot injuries. Additionally, as the Dark One, Rumplestiltskin possesses the unnerving capability to extract the hearts of others, a power he can wield both to terminate lives and assert control over individuals. His profound knowledge of potions and their ingredients further enhances his powers, enabling him to masterfully craft concoctions with incredible efficacy. Remarkably, he possesses the ability to assume the appearance of other individuals through the art of glamour, an enchanting skill that allows him to magically conceal his true identity. Lastly, Rumplestiltskin's command over shadow magic, facilitated by the Dark One's Dagger, grants him the ability to exert control over his own shadow, an ability of immense power and influence.

In the realm of vulnerabilities, the infamous Rumplestiltskin succumbs to the might of the Dark One's Dagger, a weapon capable of rendering him under the control or even eradicating him altogether. Moreover, the indomitable power of Rumplestiltskin can be ensnared within the confines of Pandora's Box, effectively containing his formidable abilities. As if that were not enough, the cunning imp can also be rendered temporarily immobile through the clever utilization of squid ink.
