Is it possible that Gideon is now a co-Dark One, alongside his father? They showed that multiple Dark One's at a time are possible (remember Dark Swan and Dark Hook?)

The Black Fairy raised him in the Dark Realm, which contained dark magic even beyond Rumple's understanding. Wouldn't that mean that Gideon was possibly exposed to the Darkness at some point, and is now more powerful and darker than his father, especially since he was raised in that realm and has an understanding of the magic?

I know we won't have all the answers until Season 6 returns in the spring, but I'm feeling like we're going to get a scene where Gideon's name either replaces his father's on the dagger or joins it.

I feel like there would have to be some kind of reason for making him dark other than just to serve the purpose of being the person in the prophecy destined to kill the Savior. And of all the characters, why him? What vendetta does he actually have against Emma, or is he a puppet of the Black Fairy, acting on her orders?
