Yeah, it's been outright stated that Rumple is unique. I do however disagree with the idea that Zoso's image didn't guide Rumple because a. the imagry of it is facinating and b. Rumple didn't give in completely right away. I mean, his first real act was saving Bae and other children from the Ogre Wars. Plus, there weren't that many Dark Ones in the group shot. Let's say that Nimue and every other Do until Rumple only lived a few decades at most. Rumple is smarter and capable of being more crafty, thus lived much longer than most. The price of this longevity is the slow blackening of his heart.
