Rumpelstiltskin is an extremely powerful but crooked and greedy wizard who is able to foresee the future. In exchange for the secret to completing the Evil Queen's curse, he now has riches and comfort in the real world, and the Storybrooke version of the Evil Queen, Regina Millis, has to give him anything he asks for as long as he says "please", because of a deal she made with him.
History
In the traditional fairytales, Rumpelstiltskin was an imp, who spun straw into gold for a girl in return for her first-born child. The girl was told she could keep her child if she could guess his name. When she finally did Rumpelstiltskin destroyed himself.
In Happily Ever After, he makes a similar deal with soon to be Princess, Cinderella. In exchange for something "precious" to her, he blessed her with a magical night at Prince Tomas's ball. He returns to claim his prize from a reluctant regretful pregnant Cinderella, but was foiled by the trickery of Prince Tomas, Princes James Charming, Grumpy, and Cinderella, and was captured and locked away. Rumpelstiltskin told her that her Prince, who mysteriously disappeared, wouldn't return to her until his deal was honored.
An alternate year later, in Storybrooke, when her first child was born, he returned to claim his payment from Ashley. Ashley is discouraged by all the citizens of Storybrooke that she can't raise her child alone as she is too young and is not ready. Her boyfriend, Sean Herman, who fathered the child is forbidden by his father to see her because of the pregnancy. She refuses to give up the child and is determined to change her life to keep her child, under the influence of Emma. Cinderella gives birth to her daughter, Alexandra, and Emma makes a new deal with Mr. Gold that if Ashley got to keep her baby, Emma would owe him a favor, but we do not know what it is yet. After Emma has made the deal, Sean returns to Ashley to help take care of the baby, symbolizing that Rumpelstiltskin's deal has been honored by the bail bondsman, Emma Swan.
