Well, more of the original Jekyll than Hyde. If Hyde is Jekyll's EQ-variant, it could be that all the passions (although misguided) and frustrations in Hyde, while Jekyll is the meek, subdued to fate conscientious person (like Young Regina).

So, with this, I theorize that Jekyll is a villain (or a misguided person to make Regina to not look like the mass-murdering tyrant that she is, lol). Either Hyde is the truly dominat part, like EQ was for Regina (which seems to be the case since Poole was loyal to Hyde and Rumple interacts with Hyde as well), or Jekyll grew frustrated with his circumstances, and felt dark thoughts coming in and went to Rumple for a deal.

However, it doesn't seem to be the latter. Could he be the "Savior" (sigh) of the Untold Stories? Will he be redeemed or the tragic representation on what could happen when you try to take shortcuts in redemption?
