Like, does that mean there's a set of leatherbound books somewhere in Storybrooke that are essentially the journals of each previous Dark One that from Nimue to Rumple, filled with all their secrets? Why aren't Emma and Hook jumping on this to try to destroy each other? I doubt they would be much use to a Dark One. Rumple obviously must have kept them because why not and so he'd have a pathetic hiding place for a key to the vault. If a Dark One wanted to know about previous Dark Ones they already have the previous Dark Ones in their head to provide unlimited information.

And Hook already became an expert on the Dark One even before he became one. Besides, he already has a plan formulated in his head as we can see.
