HappyEndings wrote: Prince of Hearts wrote: We dont know when his parents abandoned him You need to go back and watch, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter Episode. The Huntsman reveals that he was brought up by wolves, and he wants her (Cora) to promise him that the wolves would be protected. She agrees, and he asks her who he wants her to kill.

Besides why do we need to know his backstory he is dead an gone. I know they will be filming with him for the past when he was in Fairyland but that is it. Did you read the part in the orginal title Ben, a 40-year-old, kind widower who is trying to help his son deal with the loss of his mother.

I do believe that it was Regina that he wanted to promise that, not Cora, Regina was sending him to kill Snow, we didn't know anything about Cora in this episode.

And I agree with the other theories about Owen being Greg at a younger age. It would make sense considering how little he has been used since his arrival because of the focus on Cora being in town, but now that she is dead and the end of the season coming up, he'll start to come back to focus.
