I doubt that Sir Kay would be the first Dark One, or any Dark One for that matter. Arthur and Company are contemporary with David and Snow. Which means that when Arthur went to pull Excalibur, Rumple was already the Dark One.

The point of the scene is that bad things happen to those that try to draw excalibur that are not intended to draw it. And it may very well relate somehow to the Cryptic message that the Usher gave to Young Emma.

As for named characters having 1 dramatic scene and then done, do the names Collette or Madame Faustina ring a bell? Or maybe the Blind Witch? What about Gaston? King Stefan? (I think you get my point).
