I highly doubt they'd make him the actual Devil (Lucifer), since people still actively believe in Christianity, and giving the Bible's stories and characters a Once twist might rub people the wrong way. Though David being the same one from "David and Goliath" would be amazing. Or would have been amazing, if "Tiny" hadn't already pretty much done it. And badly. David is based on the Bible's David. His mother's name is Ruth while Bible's David's grandmother is Ruth (and she even has her own story, Both were shepherd turned kings and king George is an allusion to king Saul. King George wanted to kill David just like King Saul wanted to kill Bible's David and both David's succeeded as kings. But Bible David was controversially in a homosexual relationship with Prince Jonathan, before marrying Jonathan's sister. Here, Jonathan is the father of Zelena and Charming's first love is the female Snow.

And I don't recall King Saul hating David, but then again, I haven't read the Bible past the 10 Plagues of Egypt. The homosexual relationship is just an interpertation. They were really close friends. OUAT's Jonathan is not the Bible's Jonathan. King Saul wanted to kill David. That's precisely my point. I don't believe Charming is the Biblical David either. Though because of the Biblical David having a familial relationship with Jonathan (as brothers-in-law) it's always been my headcanon that Once's Jonathan is Charming's father, thus making Charming and Zelena siblings. Oh my god, they could do that! It would fit with the time frame too. Although, to clarify, that would make David and James half-siblings with Zelena, not full siblings. The second I found out that Charming's father died after showing up at a tavern, which is where Cora worked, I was sure of it. But I had suspected it since Bleeding Through.
