In the recent season 4 episode where we saw a flashback to wear The previous Dark One, Zoso attempted to unlock the box to get the Sorcerors Hat and fails, of course, the apprentice mentioning 'you are not the first Dark One Iv'e faced' this scene at an unknown time, but presumably the furthest back chronological scene? When Zoso still seems somewhat in his prime and probably not under the power of the Duke.

With Almost every charcter born after this event, of course most things are younger than Malcolm (pan) and Rumpelstiltskin, With the Exception of Reul Ghorm 'the blue fairy', and possibly Maleficent and other fairies, doesn't it beg the question of just How old is the Sorceror and the Dark One/blue?

I'm starting to think that Each Dark one brings forth a new Age in the Fairy tale world, hence why aside from Blue (good) and Sorceror (possibly neutral) almost all others involved are born after.

This leads me to wonder not only how Many Dark Ones there where, How they relate to Reul Ghorm and the Sorceror and if at those more ancient parts of the fairy tale land, they had there own heroes, villains and stories?? any ideas on this???
