But everyone tendss to get one. The Apprentice has little backstory. That's like saying Rumple minus his centrics was his backstory. That's just being in other people's flashbacks.

But I still hope to see his origin, likely Merlin with a young apprentice after or during fighting the Darkness...I mean we have to see that at least.

He has 5 or 6 episodes of backstory, we just don't know his origin.
