Actually, except for the 2010 Movie, there is really nothing known about the Sorcerer, other than (s)he is the master, so probably more powerful.

The 2010 Movie, Balthazar started as the apprentice in the beginning of the movie, and becomes the Sorcerer when the First Sorcerer (who just happens to be Merlin) is killed.

My point is that, since there is almost nothing known about the Sorcerer, Once really does have quite a bit of freedom to take them any direction they want. And the Sorcerer (the owner of the hat) is almost definitely going to be someone new.

Now, what I am expecting as I think of it more, is that Henry is going to be set up as an apprentice to Gold. And the episode entitled "The Apprentice" Henry is going to do something really dumb (like animate a broom and not be able to shut it down), just for the full call out to all of the versions of the SA.
