However, this may just be the case of taking someone out of their story and doing a different thing with them. Seeing how Rumple is alive, Beowulf likely not. He may as well be the Dragon, but I do see him taking the role as the Grendel, but for present day this is transposed for Gideon in the role of Beowulf. Excuse me guys. But already met Grendel in the spin off. Remember? So I don't think Rumple counts for that. I know that. This is why I'm talking about "the role of the Grendel". Beowulf's story inolves fighting the Grendel, his mother, and etc. So, Rumple could be in place of the Grendel because they already mentioned him in Wonderland. Or tehy may have two Grendels, but I doubt that.

It how Rumple takes the role of Cinderella's FGM. We saw the FGM, but Rumple still took her place, even if he did so forcibly.
