Does anyone else wonder whether Rumple could maybe turn out to be the Guardian himself? After all, the prophecy that Belle uncovered didn't mention the Guardian just "the place where the darkness would finally rest". And he has, by now, proved that he can - with the right influences - refrain from misusing the power/use that power for good. Which we are led to believe is unusual in a "Dark One".

I think this would be a nice twist to Rumple's story.
