That could work to help make him even a bit more intimidating. Well, I think the whole point of Merlin is that juxtaposition ( I hate that word, but it works), the irony of appearing old, frail and lanky but in fact being a very powerful being (because of magic). It goes with the saying, "never judge a book by its cover". Well, we sort of got that with Rumple, being impish and cowardly, but now thw most powerful dark wizard in all the realms.

Noone would expect strong and magically powerful. I mean to have a powerful oice as such it would be humorous to be frail, but it's not always necessary. Look at the Apprentice, old, but still gets around. So, I'm betting on not that bad.

I wonder how they are going to explain the immortality (10/10 he'll die anyhow.)
