But he does seem to have a knack of finding people that are on the rise to do such things... Which is pretty interesting. And those are probably the most dangerous villians. Manipulate others for their own designs, Never get their hands dirty themselves, and always have someone else available to take the fall when things fall apart, while they hide in the background enjoying what little bit of gain they were able to obtain.

That's what he's done in the past, and that's what he's trying to do with Killian. However, I am going to bet that he has grossly miscalculated and is getting ready to pay the price. I have one question for you: Wouldn't you do everything (good or bad) to get your son back and redeem yourself for the mistake you commited? And As I recollect I never said that Rumple was a good man, I admit, he did bad things but was never "the big bad" at all.
