I'm like 100% sure that the original Dark One we saw facing off against Merlin, the one that "destroyed" Merlin's true love... Is his true love. In Arthurian legend, Nimue is Merlin's female apprentice, the Lady of the Lake who adopts and raises Lancelot, and ultimately the love of Merlin's life and the one who turns him into a tree.

And we have an upcoming episode entitled "Nimue" (btw, it's pronounced Nim-way, not Nih-mew-ay), and she's seemingly been casted.

So yeah...
