Killian Jones wrote: The Savior is a person who was born of magically tethered to the fate of defeating the greatest darkness. Rumplestiltskin was born a Savior because his fate was to defeat the Black Fairy, but she severed him from his fate, leaving the Savior's fate open. Emma was born a Savior because Rumplestiltskin tethered her to the Dark Curse and therefore intertwined her fate with the Black Fairy's, giving her the fate that his mother had denied him of. Aladdin acquired the Saviorship by other means, and he lost it as well. Had he not severed himself from the fate of the Savior, he would have probably have to fight the Final Battle alongside Emma. I would agree with this if Hyde hadnt said he knew many saviours. I guess it all boils down to bad planning by the writers
