I like Neil, but my opinion changed slightly when he used Roland to get to Neverland, and the fact that he reacted so stupidly after hearing the prophecy in 'Nasty Habits' As for him looking down on his Father, it annoys me sometimes when I remember back to how Rumple became TDO, he was tricked. He did not intend to become TDO and thus the curse was really that, a curse. Bae, despite Rumple ending the Ogre Wars, never really seemed to grasp that his behaviour was beyond Rumple's control.

Bae pre-Neverland was a good boy though, I doubt anyone from the EF would want to cause him harm based on anything other than being TDO's son. True though if the Morraine being Maleficent theory turns out to be right Bae could have had a hand in that it would be good if they brought her back and at sound of Baelfire's name she got pissed and screamed "Bring him here! I want him to see what he's done to me!" Then it comes out Morraine went looking for Bae and he abandoned her which inevitably caused her to become Maleficent.
