Hordor

The Duke was a knight who possesed a magical dagger that held the name of a powerful magical being known as the Dark One, whom he controlled through the use of his dagger. He has no Storybrooke counterpart.

History
The Duke is first seen in Happily Ever After taking a fourteen-year-old girl from her parents in a poor village that Rumpelstiltskin and his son, Baelfire, live in. He is next seen when Rumplestiltskin and Baelfire attempt to escape the Duke's cruel law of children going to war when they reach the age of fourteen.

He and his knights discover Rumplestiltskin and proceed to question and ridicule him. He threatens to take Baelfire away from Rumplestiltskin. He pleads with the Duke to spare his son, and the Duke agrees on one condition: Rumplestiltskin must kiss his boot.

Rumplestiltskin obeys the Duke's commands and the Duke kicks him in the stomach, laughing about the man's cowardice and weakness. They then ride away, and an old beggar comes to the pair's aide. It is in the beggar's house that Rumplestiltskin learns about the Duke's magical dagger that controls the Dark One.

Rumplestiltskin steals the Duke's dagger, and the Duke is next seen in the poor village when he and his knights are dragging Baelfire out of his house. Rumplestiltskin stops them before they can take him away and the Duke recognizes him as the Dark One, but fails to realize that he was man he had belittled in the forest two days ago.

Rumplestiltskin confronts the Duke and threatens to kill him; the Duke begs for forgiveness and says that he would do anything to please him. In response, Rumplestiltskin stretches out his foot and commands the Duke to kiss his boot.

The Duke proceeds to do so, but before he can actually kiss his boot, Rumplestiltskin reaches forward and snaps his neck. His knights are all slaughtered very quickly afterwards.
