I don't think the writers care about the amount of Dark Ones, which will explain why the number of Dark Ones went from 10 to 18 to 20 something. I'm guessing at some point, a guy killed the DO, dropped the dagger, a lady came and shanked him and while she was in awe, another two guys came and pushed the dagger through the lady and one of the guys, then someone tackled them and got ahold of the dagger and shanked the now current Dark One all in the space of a few minutes. Lol XD

1. Charon has always looked like that in all the myths. It's where many get the grim reaper in a cloak from.

2. The Dark Ones seem to have access if they tried to figure out previous Dark One knowledge. I'm sure Zoso saw a weak old man weilding a sword and knew it wasn't Merlin the great and powerful sorcerer. Plus, I'm guessing like how Rumple knew that Merlin was stuck in a tree. Plus, I'm sure they could probably stop by Merlin's tower and snoop around with a dreamcatcher or anything. But I'm certain Nimue told them.

3. No and no. Keep things separate.

4. Dramatic moments, even though most of the Dark ones were faceless goons that stood around and walked into people. Likely we will get no info on any Dark One ever again. Definitely not a spin-off because that wouldn't work.
