So, his cursed name is Samdi, and I was reading up on the voodoo loa where the name comes from and who the character was originally based upon. On the Wikipedia page, the loa is considered to be a “giver of life” and can cure a moral “of any wound”. Maybe he can heal the poisoned Henry if the curse is broken with his magic. So, Regina calls upon him to do so, which is how he comes into play and how their romance begins. Clever! Maybe he could also help Hook and Alice, then.

I still don't understand how the apparently villainous Facilier we met in 705 so quickly becomes someone who is at least good enough to attract Regina. I forget which episode it was, but there were filming pictures of them holding hands and touching foreheads, which seems pretty quick for a character who theoretically would need a redemption arc. Well, if he has a cursed name, then he also has a cursed persona. Maybe Regina doesn't realize who he is? And so far the only character we know who knows him by face is Tiana, who is also under the curse right now, so it's not like she can warn Regina. But then we're looking at a Zelena/Hades situation Take 2, except with Regina who has already lost two boyfriends.
