If we see them, they are dead.

Anyway, back on topic. It's not about Ana."

That's kinda like saying Rumple isn't the beast because he's not furry. Or he's not the crocodile because he isn't an animal. >_> OUAT twists stories and backstories all the time, lol. Jack was genderbent, for instance. Prince Charming was changed to originally be a farmhand. Etc.

Anyway. I gave my top 3 theories. Hades, Facilier, or Rasputin. I don't really see how it could be any other character. Those are the only 3 male villains that have ties to the underworld (we were told 5B would put the characters "in hell") and involve souls.

In fact, the fact there's no casting calls for a female and male hero (either Meg and Herc or Tiana and Naveen) reinforces the fact he might be Rasputin, as they already have Anastasia and Will. They did announce they are casting a male and female who's descriptions match Herc and Meg. So yeah, Hades is basically confirmed.
