Think about it. We know he has magic in the LWM, which means the magic is likely very strong (the Apprentice and Emma are the only other ones who can use magic in the LWM, even Rumple couldn't). He had some strong interest in the author. Maybe he was keeping track of him/investigating him to see if he was a good author. That's also why he had the page that the author was trapped in, because he put the author in there. I heard that theory of where they are talking about who is Liky's father is. That some guess that her father is the dragon and others merlin and one guess that Merlin could be the dragon as well.
