Using her knowledge of books, she teams up with Mulan to defeat the beast, which turns out to be a cursed Prince Phillip. She then intended to return to Rumplestiltskin, though the Evil Queen captures her, even as Belle defiantly tells her that she will never keep her apart from Rumplestiltskin. Then, the Evil Queen and falsely claims to Rumplestiltskin that Belle committed suicide, upsetting him. In Storybrooke, Belle is kept beneath the town's hospital for 28 years by Regina. She is later released by Jefferson and finds Mr. Gold (Rumplestiltskin), professing her love for him when the curse is broken and standing beside him as he brings magic to Storybrooke. When Gold finds a way to leave Storybrooke without losing his memories, Belle is shot by Captain Hook, causing her to fall across the border and lose her memory again. Belle later "remembers" her cursed self as a scantily-clad barfly named Lacey French, who encourages the darker urges in Gold. Gold later finds a potion that returns her original identity, after which she does not use the name "Lacey". As Mr. Gold, along with Emma Swan, Mary Margaret, David, Regina, and Captain Hook travel to retrieve a kidnapped Henry from Neverland, he gives Belle a protection spell to cast around Storybrooke. He encounters a form of Belle frequently in Neverland as an illusion to act as a crutch to his cowardliness; she is later revealed as his father Peter Pan's shadow in disguise. The two are reunited when the group return to Storybrooke after retrieving Henry, though Gold sacrifices himself to kill his father. However, Pan's curse remains and Belle, along with the other inhabitants are sent back to their original worlds. In the Enchanted Forest, Belle and Neal travel to Rumplestiltskin's castle and are directed to the Dark One's vault. To the disapproval of Belle, Neal unlocks the vault, resurrecting Rumplestiltskin but sacrificing himself. Belle is returned to Storybrooke when Snow and Charming enact a new curse to stop Zelena from taking their baby. Upon his freedom, Mr. Gold proposes to Belle after trusting her with his dagger (unknown to her, it is a replica) and the two are married. After feeling a surge of guilt when Elsa tries to find Anna, Belle uses the fake dagger to "force" Rumplestiltskin to take her to the Snow Queen's lair, so that she can steal the Sorcerer's hat and use it to force the Snow Queen to reveal where Anna is. Instead, she ran into the Mirror of Shattered Sight, which caused her to feel that she was responsible for Anna's disappearance, and believe that Rumplestiltskin only married her because he could manipulate her, and that her dagger was a fake. The enchantment causes her to lash out and cut Rumplestiltskin when he tries to get her away from the mirror, and when he teleports them back to his shop, she apologizes for losing trust in him, and promises never to use the dagger on him again. When Ingrid, the Snow Queen, freezes the police station's door shut to keep the others from warning Emma of her scheme, she convinced Rumplestiltskin to go help out. After the Snow Queen cast the Spell of Shattered Sight, she found a counterspell for the Spell of Shattered Sight, and worked with the Fairies on the cure. However, when the cure was close to its completion, Rumplestiltskin led her out of Granny's Diner, so that Hook could capture the Fairies with the Sorcerer's Hat. Then, Rumplestiltskin locks Belle inside of his shop, to prevent others from getting to her when the spell hits. After the Spell of Shattered Sight is ended, Belle learns that the dagger she has, is a fake and she uses the real one to force her husband, Mr. Gold, to leave Storybrooke. Sometime, during six weeks Belle learned about the apprentice, the hat, and the wizard. Belle has found a "soulmate" in Will Scarlet, upsetting Gold, who also tricked Belle into retrieving the Dagger from while posing as Hook. Belle later learns that Mr. Gold's condition is worsening as he will soon be consumed by the Dark One's powers. After Henry undoes Isaac's work, Belle finds Mr. Gold's body on the ground as he tells her to get far away with Will. Belle tells Mr. Gold that she isn't in love with Will as she informs the others of Mr. Gold's condition which led the Apprentice to make an attempt to seal the Dark One's powers in the Sorcerer's Hat to save Mr. Gold's life. When the Dark One's powers escaped from the Sorcerer's Hat, Belle witnessed the Dark One's powers attack the Apprentice.

Soon afterwards, Gold tasks Hook with using the hat to drain the Fairies' magic, in order to kill the cure for the Spell of Shattered Sight, and to obtain enough power to free himself from the Dagger of Kris. Hook reluctantly agrees to the task, since Gold has his heart, and traps the fairies in the hat after Gold convinces Belle to leave Granny's Diner. When Emma and Elsa later arrive with Anna and Kristoff, Hook hides behind the counter, leading them to believe that the Fairies had been dealt with by the Snow Queen. With his job complete, Hook gives the hat to Gold, who tells him to enjoy the last day of his life wherever he wants, because when Gold completes his final preparations by the next morning, he will kill Hook.

David Anders Dr. Victor Frankenstein is a scientist from a Land Without Color who believes magic to be inferior to science. He is the older brother of Gerhardt and son of Alphonse. Victor originally seeks a way to restore life to the dead, but has his funding pulled by his father. Rumplestiltskin offers him gold in exchange for the scientific method on how to revive the dead as magic could not. Victor robs a grave for body parts to experiment on, but is caught by Gerhardt who is shot by a police officer. As Victor attempts to bring Gerhardt back to life, electricity cannot revive him, so Rumplestiltskin instead offers a heart from the Enchanted Forest. As part of a bargain, he creates a false attempt to reanimate Daniel (the Evil Queen Regina's lost love) to make it easier for Rumplestiltskin to manipulate her. In his own world, Frankenstein reanimates his brother with the heart, but inadvertently turns him into a monster, beating his father to death. Victor imprisons him until he can devise a way to help Gerhardt overcome his psychotic rage. In Storybrooke, he is Dr. Whale, a doctor working in Storybrooke General Hospital. His name is a reference to James Whale, director of the films Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein. He originally assists Regina Mills (the Evil Queen), doing whatever she says without hesitation. After the curse is broken, he leads a mob to Regina's home intending to kill her. Victor later seeks a way to return to his brother, believing if he were to do something for Regina she would bring him back. He successfully reanimates Daniel's corpse with a magical heart, turning him into a monster who savagely rips off Whale's arm. Mr. Gold (Rumplestiltskin) reattaches his arm. After being comforted by Red about the memories of his brother, Dr. Whale later heals outsider Greg Mendell who crashes his car into the town. After Peter Pan enacts the original curse again, Whale, along with the other inhabitants, are returned to their original worlds. When Snow White and Prince Charming enact a new Dark Curse as part of their plan to stop Zelena, Dr. Whale is sent back to Storybrooke.

Barbara Hershey Princess Cora Mills is the daughter of a local poor, drunken miller, similar to the character in the Rumpelstiltskin story. She later becomes the mother to both Regina and Zelena. As a young woman, Cora is asked for her hand in marriage by a man named Jonathan claiming to be a Prince. The two conceive a child, Zelena, though Cora discovers Jonathan's fake identity. She then meets Prince Leopold and the two form a strong bond, until Cora realizes that he is engaged to Princess Eva, who informs Leopold of her secret child. Cora is banished from the kingdom. After giving birth to her firstborn, she sends the baby away to Oz after birth in order to become a royal. Sometime later, Cora later delivers flour to King Xavier at the time when Princess Eva was visiting. While at the ball, Cora claims to King Xavier that she can spin straw into gold who states that if she can, she can marry his son Prince Henry, but if not, she will be killed. She is then approached by Rumplestiltskin who states that he will teach her magic if she gives him her first born child. She agrees and accepts Henry's hand in marriage. Rumplestiltskin then changes his deal to claim whatever child Cora suggests to him. She plans to run away with him but chooses power over love, ripping her own heart, marrying Henry, and later giving birth to Regina. As an older woman, Cora is a controlling mother towards Regina, wanting her to achieve a high status in life. When Regina blossoms into a young woman of marriageable age, Cora resolves to set into motion a series of pre-planned events that will lead her daughter into being crowned a Queen. She poisons the current queen, Eva, to make the Queen's seat vacant. Eva's only daughter, Snow White, is desperate for a way to save her dying mother from the illness and goes to seek out the Blue Fairy. Cora cloaks herself as the Blue Fairy to advise her to use a magic candle to take away the life of another person in order to save Eva. Ultimately, Snow White can't bear to go through with it, and Eva succumbs to death shortly after. After Eva's mourning ceremony, Cora approaches to have a look at her nemesis' body. She promises to destroy her legacy and make Snow White's heart as black as coal. She then causes a young Snow's horse to become wild and rush towards a river, knowing that Regina would save her. Cora uses this opportunity to arrange a marriage between Regina and Snow's father King Leopold. However, Regina is in love with the stable boy Daniel, a secret that Snow innocently informs Cora of. Cora soon kills him, because such love would ruin her plans for Regina. Rumplestiltskin later helps Regina send Cora to another realm via a magical mirror. Cora is sent to Wonderland where she rises to power and fulfills her wish to become a royal as she becomes to be known as the Queen of Hearts. She later receives an invitation to the upcoming wedding of the Red King where she meets the soon-to-be Red Queen, Anastasia. Seeing Anastasia's likeness to herself, as Cora came from humble beginnings as well, she offers to teach her magic without the Red King's knowledge, since she knows the Red King dislikes magic as he believes it separates them from their subjects, however Anastasia declines, not wishing to start a marriage with a secret, to which Cora departs, or so it appears as she eavesdrops on a conversation the future Queen has with a former beau and Anastasia's true love, Will. For her own reasons Cora sabotages any reconciliation between the two lovers by telling Will that Anastasia decided to marry the Red King. Heartbroken Will requested the Queen of Hearts to take out his heart which she did after warning him of the consequences. Will then becomes the Knave of Hearts in the Queen of Hearts' army. Cora then stops Anastasia from leaving the castle for her sweetheart by giving the girl a glimpse at the wagon where Will is nowhere in sight. She manipulates Anastasia into believing all hope of regaining Will's trust and love is forever lost, and that her place is as a Queen. Cora then begins teaching Anastasia the use of magic, bringing Anastasia more fully under its corrupting power which will eventually turn her into a cold-hearted, simpering and power-hungry queen. Cora later visited Regina with the help of the White Rabbit and offers to help her get hooked up with the man that Tinker Bell described. Upon being unable to find Robin Hood, she tried to have the Sheriff of Nottingham pose as him until Regina found that the lion tattoo was fake. Cora later teleported the Sheriff of Nottingham out of the prison as Regina gets even with Cora by drinking a potion that would prevent her from giving birth as a way to keep Cora from manipulating that child. Cora later kidnaps her husband Henry and shrinks him in size while trapping him in one of the boxes in a vault. Regina comes to rescue her father with the help of a portal-jumper, Jefferson, by using a magic hat to travel between worlds. They steal back Henry, but Regina paralyzes Jefferson so he is left behind while she and her father return to the Enchanted Forest. He is captured by the guards and brought before the audience of the Queen of Hearts. While her face is completely obscured, she does not directly speak to him, and instead talks into a tube for the Knave of Hearts to communicate her messages to Jefferson. She is extremely displeased that he helped Regina steal from her. When Jefferson calls Regina "the Queen", Cora cuts him off with a stomp, prompting the Knave of Hearts to ask him to refrain from referring to that woman by such a name. When questioned about how he came to Wonderland, Jefferson doesn't answer, and instead asks if it's possible for him to go home to his daughter after he tells them. Annoyed at his response, she orders for his head to be taken off. Only after losing his body, yet still being alive, Jefferson confesses that his hat brought him to Wonderland, but Regina took it away. On behalf of Cora, the Knave of Hearts commands him to make another hat so he can leave this world for his homeland. Later, Regina requests Hook's assistance to kill her mother, by taking out her heart and in return, he'll be able to get his revenge on Rumplestiltskin once the Dark Curse is cast. Before he goes, Regina enchants his hook with the ability to remove a heart. She also requires that her mother's corpse be returned to the Enchanted Forest, so she sends a dead soldier with him. Via Jefferson's magic hat, he ends up in Cora's palace in Wonderland. Once again, she does not show her face, hiding it with a mask, and uses the long tube to ask questions while the Knave of Hearts announces them for the pirate to answer. She wants to know why he is in Wonderland. He confirms to be looking for a woman by the name of Cora. Lowering her mask, Cora remarks that in this land, she goes by "Your Majesty", and then dismisses all her subjects so the two of them can be alone. After learning the pirate's name is Hook, she notices he has a corpse of dead man with him. Based on the rules of the portal-jumping hat, he is obviously going to take someone else back. Hook moves to tear out her heart, but nothing happens. Cora scoffs at his failed attempt since the heart is not in her chest. She plunges her hand to grab hold of Hook's heart, threatening to pull it out, unless he tells her who sent him. As he gasps in pain, Hook admits the Evil Queen wants her dead. Momentarily, Cora is fazed by the news, but forces him to tell her everything. After he is done, she lets go and returns to sit upon her throne. Cora orders Hook to aide her in returning to the Enchanted Forest, but wants his full and willing cooperation as she can give him what he desire most—Rumplestiltskin's life. She informs him of the ramifications of her daughter's curse will bring everyone to a new land, but everyone affected will lose their memories. Cora promises to allow Hook the opportunity to kill Rumplestiltskin and also keep his memories intact. Hook returns to the Enchanted Forest with Cora's body, leaving Anastasia to rule the entire realm. She feigns being dead; intending to get close enough to Regina to rip out her heart as payback for the attempted assassination. However, Cora has a change of heart when Regina sadly professes that there was no choice to but do away with her mother as she is one of her weaknesses. She recalls what Cora taught her, that love is weakness, and therefore, Regina wants to leave this emotion behind before going to the new land. She places a rose on Cora's chest and then leaves to cast the Dark Curse. Directly after, Cora recognizes her daughter still loves her, and instead she and Hook travel to an island as the curse is spreading. Once there, she casts a barrier to protect the inhabitants on corner of the island, as well as themselves, from being affected by the curse. Cora informs Hook that they will both be frozen for the next twenty-eight years until the savior breaks the curse and frees them. When the time comes, she plans to go to Regina in her greatest moment of need. After the curse is broken, and Mary Margaret (Snow White) and her daughter Emma Swan are transported to the Enchanted Forest, they encounter Cora. Cora learns that Regina and her adoptive son Henry are in Storybrooke, and retrieves a magical bean, following the two back to Storybrooke with Hook. Cora impersonates Regina to supposedly kill Archie Hopper (Jiminy Cricket), thus causing Regina to lose Henry. She then turns a rehabilitating Regina back to evil by playing on her love for him. She seeks out the Dark One's dagger to kill their enemies, though Regina returns her heart which, unbeknownst to her, has been poisoned by Mary Margaret with the same candle that Cora poisoned Snow's mother with. Upon possessing her heart, she loves Regina truly, until she dies in her arms. Cora is later summoned as a ghost by Regina in an attempt to discover the truth behind her giving away Zelena. Cora instead possesses Mary Margaret allowing her to see her mother's dark past. Regina removes Cora's ghost from Mary Margaret's body and returns her to the spirit world.

It has since been discovered that Maid Marian is actually the Wicked Witch of the West in disguise, the real Marian having been killed by Zelena herself (who used a spell to make Maid Marian's body fatally vanish) after Emma and Hook rescued her from the Evil Queen and knocked the real Marian out so they can take her back to Storybrooke. Robin Hood was unaware off this until Regina revealed the truth.

Some time later, Pan visits Hamelin in the Enchanted Forest posing as the Pied Piper to expand what would later become the Lost Boys. He later appears as a fugitive boy pretending to escape from the Lost Boys. He "befriends" Henry who is also attempting to escape upon arriving in Neverland, following his kidnap from Storybrooke. He later reveals his true identity and tells Henry he possesses "the heart of the truest believer", which he now owns. He blackmails John and Michael Darling to help him with his tasks, in exchange for their sister Wendy's life, who had been lured back to Neverland. Pan falsely claims to Henry that magic is dying in Neverland, and needs Henry's power. He then persuades Henry to give him his heart, leading Henry to temporarily die.

With Ingrid having killed herself, Elsa, along with Anna and Krisoff, return to Arendelle in time for his wedding to Anna.
Ingrid/Snow Queen	Sarah Fisher	Elizabeth Mitchell Brighton Sharbino (child)	4	10	Deceased
Elizabeth Mitchell Ingrid, also known as the Snow Queen, is an older woman who possesses ice powers similar to Elsa's, but more controlled and more powerful. She manifested her powers at a young age when she, Helga, and Gerda were attacked by a criminal. Following an incident where Helga was accidentally frozen to death because of the Duke of Weselton's trick, Gerda sealed Ingrid away in a magical urn, while mourning Helga's death and her own actions. She was released from the urn by Prince Hans, whom she then froze for calling Elsa a monster, implying that she was a "monster". She also freezes three of Hans' other older brothers as revealed by Prince Hans in "Fall". The Snow Queen later informs Elsa that she is her aunt, as she is the sister of Queen Gerda of Arendelle. At some point afterwards, Ingrid visits the Apprentice to have him ask the Sorcerer for an item that she needs to complete her family. Upon finding out that Elsa is on to her, Ingrid then used her power to have Anna turn on Elsa, which resulted in Anna imprisoning Elsa in the urn. Afterwards Ingrid freeze Anna and Kristoff. Unfortunately, Rumplestiltskin would take the urn and Anna's necklace from Ingrid as part of an exchange for the Sorcerer's hat. However, she ends up giving the hat to the Apprentice who in exchange for the item, is given the one thing she needs to complete her family, a new sister, which leads her to a portal that sends her to New York City in 1982. Once there, Ingrid works in a foster home, as well as taking care of young Emma. Ingrid decided to adopt Emma, but circumstances changed. Sometime in 2001, Ingrid travels to Maine using the Apperentice's Scroll and manifest in Storybrooke. Using the alias Sarah Fisher, she opens an ice cream parlor called "Any Given Sundae". When Emma arrives to Storybrooke, she has an awkward conversation with Emma and eventually she erases her memory. When the original Curse was reversed, Ingrid is send back to Fairy Tale Land. Ingrid later returns to Storybrooke when the Curse was cast again. When Elsa is brought to the town, the Snow Queen takes advantage of Elsa's ice barrier that surrounds Storybrooke. The Snow Queen places a freezing spell in Maid Marian's ice cream cone, causing her to fall into a frozen sleep. Emma soon discovers the Snow Queen and uses her magic to save Captain Hook, after she threatened to kill him. She escapes after implying that she knows Emma, whom she taunted. Sarah then uses Sidney in a plot to lure Regina into allowing her to take her magic mirror, in exchange for Sidney's freedom. It was later discovered that Sarah was Emma's foster mother on Earth, having taken her in after she was caught by Social Services in Minnesota. Her true plan is later uncovered. the Snow Queen wants two new sisters to replace the ones she lost, but they must have magic like her. She also planned to use the Spell of Shattered Sight, to have the inhabitants of Storybrooke kill each other off, until only she, Elsa, and Emma are left. In hindsight, the loss of her true sisters seems to have driven Ingrid insane as she doesn't see how much Emma and Elsa despise her. Although Ingrid hasn't considered the possibility, Elsa and Emma may end up trying to stop her plans by killing her, which is pretty much the only logical option since Ingrid won't listen to reason. Later on, Ingrid allowed herself to be "captured" by Emma, implanting an ice shard in her in the process, allowing her to talk with Emma in private at the police station. When Belle discovers that the mirror in the Clock Tower was a fake, David, Mary Margret, and the others catch on to Ingrid's plan too late, and they are unable to warn Emma, as Ingrid had frozen over the police station doors shut. Then, Ingrid plays on Emma's emotions, eventually making her lose control of herself and her magic, which destroys a chunk of the wall and allows the Snow Queen to escape. After Ingrid discovered that Mr. Gold was planning to use the Sorcerer's Hat to absorb Emma and her powers, she tries to stop him, only to realize that he had imprisoned her in a force field made from the urn dust. Then, she tries to warn Emma via an illusion, which initially causes Emma to lose control of her car and crash. However, Emma still refused to believe her, continuing to drive off towards the abandoned mansion. After Elsa saved Emma and the urn dust wore off, Ingrid places her ribbons on all three of them, allowing her to harness their powers. Then, she warns Mr. Gold not to underestimate her and casts the Spell of Shattered Sight over Storybrooke. When Mr. Gold visits Ingrid, she agrees to keep the Spell of Shattered Sight from affecting Belle and Henry, and an escape route from Storybrooke, in exchange for Gold not seeking vengeance on her life. Then, she tells him that the Spell of Shattered Sight will cover Storybrooke by sunset. As the citizens of Storybrooke begin to attack each other, due to the Spell of Shattered Sight, Emma and Elsa confront Ingrid at "Any Given Sundae", where their powers can't work on her due to the ribbons on them. At her lair, Ingrid then proceeds into the next part of her plan where she restores the good memories of Emma and Elsa to them while stating that they don't have it in them to kill her. When Anna arrives with the note about her mother's last words that involved the truth of Ingrid and Helga being Elsa and Anna's aunts while stating that Arendelle deserves to know about Ingrid and Helga. Ingrid then begins to attack Anna and manages to knock her down. Upon reading the note, Ingrid sees that Anna is right and begins to regret her actions. Ingrid then undoes the Spell of Shattered Sight by destroying herself. Before she dies, Ingrid states that Emma has found her family and returns the memories of Emma and Elsa to them, now that she has her sisters' love. Ingrid then disappears to the afterlife, where she is happy to join Gerda and Helga there.
The Apprentice	—	Timothy Webber	4	7	Deceased
The Apprentice is an old man who works for the Sorcerer. The Apprentice protects his teacher's creation, a box capable of transforming into a hat for absorbing and accumulating magic, from each person that takes on the Dark One's powers. As an added measure of security, the Sorcerer curses the box so those who have succumbed to darkness may never open it and only someone who has been tempted into darkness but has not given into it can do the opposite. While sweeping the grounds of the box's location, Zoso (who was the Dark One at the time) arrives in an attempt to open the guarded relic. After being magically thrown aside by Zoso, The Apprentice watches the Dark One's futile endeavor to access the box's contents only to be blasted away by the artifact's magic. Once the Apprentice informs the Dark One of why his mission will never succeed, a beaten Zoso teleports away. Years later, Zoso's successor Rumplestiltskin conspires to possess the sorcerer's box and utilize the hat within it. The Apprentice, now living in a small cottage, stores the box in his basement for safekeeping. By some method, he ingests a poison that Rumplestiltskin created which will transmutate him into a mouse. In a deal with Anna, Rumplestiltskin sends her to put a bottled substance (which she presumes to be poison) into the apprentice's tea. In actuality, it is an antidote to cure him. During one day, the Apprentice opens his door to Anna and invites her in for tea and biscuits. He even allows her to stay at his home as long as she desires. As he sweeps the floor, Anna checks on the boiling kettle. Despite Rumplestiltskin's instructions, she dumps the bottled substance into a fire. After Anna's departure from the cottage, he turns into a mouse. Since discovering the truth, Anna rushes to the apprentice's house and begs Rumplestiltskin to undo the poison's effects, but the Dark One tricks the girl into nearly succumbing to darkness but ultimately turning away from it. After Rumplestiltskin gains the box, the Apprentice's mouse form jumps onto and bites the Dark One's hand. Startled, Rumplestiltskin drops the dagger to which Anna seizes it and commands him to give the box to her. She forces him into sending her and the box to Arendelle as well as reverting the Apprentice into a human. Sometime later, the Apprentice is visited by Ingrid where she wants him to ask the Sorcerer what she needs to complete her family. After Ingrid had frozen Anna and Kristoff following her tricking Anna into imprisoning Elsa in a magical urn, she is approached in a cave by the Apprentice. In exchange that Ingrid hands him the box instead of giving it to Rumplestiltskin, he will tell her what the Sorcerer told him about Ingrid's question. Ingrid does so and the Apprentice tells her that she will need a true sister. As the sister in question is not born yet, the Apprentice tells Ingrid that the sister she requires will grow up on Earth as he manifests a portal door to take Ingrid to Earth in the 1980s. Snow White and Prince Charming are directed by a peddler to the Apprentice's house where they talk to him about the vision of Emma being corrupted. The Apprentice tells them that a blank slate would purge the darkness from their child. He warns them that once the spell is enacted, it can't be reversed. When Maleficent's egg is obtained, the Apprentice transports it alongside Cruella De Vil and Ursula to Earth as part of the spell's side effect. The Apprentice later confronts the Author for manipulating the transportation of Maleficent's egg and imprisons him for his irresponsibility. The Apprentice speaks to the Sorcerer about Isaac's actions. The Sorcerer tells him that he can't undo the spell and that the girls' fates will be intertwined. The Apprentice later went to Earth where he encountered Lily on the bus. He started to tell Lily about who her mother was. In Storybrooke, he is shown to be living in a house. Mr. Gold and Captain Hook (who goes along with Mr. Gold's plan to get rid of his "cursed" hand) visit his house in order to get him to activate the box upon using a transformed broom to trace his location. Once Mr. Gold opens the box and utilizes the hat's power, the Apprentice is sucked into the Hat. With help from the Mother Superior using the Apprentice's broom, Emma frees the Apprentice from the Hat so that he can help them stop Isaac before he can begin his next move. The Apprentice plans to obtain the page of the book drawing so that he can re-trap Isaac and make sure that nobody can free him again. After reality is restored, Henry is approached by the Apprentice where he claims that the Author can't even bring Baelfire to life since he died in the real world. The Apprentice tells Henry that the events in the "Once Upon a Time" book is truth and hopes that Henry can resist the temptation. Henry breaks the quill telling the Apprentice that nobody deserves this kind of power. The Apprentice later helps to save Mr. Gold's life by placing the Dark One's powers into the Sorcerer's Hat. Unfortunately, the Dark One's powers escape and enter the Apprentice's body which weakens. The Apprentice stated that the Darkness was behind the Dark One's powers where the Sorcerer is the only one to defeat the Darkness. Before he dies, the Apprentice tells Emma that the Sorcerer's name is Merlin.

After buying food and exiting the store, Lily sees her father racing down the street in his car to haul her home. She escapes with Emma into an alley where they duck for cover as a van pulled up in front of her father's car. Later, they stop at a nearby lake and have a picnic with their food.

With help from Mr. Gold, Maleficent discovered that Lily is her long-lost child and plans to reunite with her. Maleficent convinces Emma Swan and Regina Mills into helping her find Lily as Emma learns that Lily was Maleficent's daughter.

Later, in hope to find Snow White, Prince Charming is given a locating spell from Rumplestiltskin if he manages to hide a potion inside the belly of a beast (Maleficent). The witch transforms into a fire-breathing dragon, though Charming manages to place the potion within her. Eventually, Maleficent gives up on her revenge against Aurora's mother, finding solace in her pet black unicorn. However, the Evil Queen, frustrated at the failure of the sleeping curse, desires the Dark Curse once more, but Maleficent refuses. Regina challenges her to a spar, eventually defeating Maleficent, but she allows Maleficent to live, saying that she is her only friend. In Storybrooke, it is revealed that Regina Mills (the Evil Queen) trapped Maleficent in her dragon form and imprisoned her beneath Storybrooke's abandoned library. Later, when Henry Mills falls under a sleeping curse to prove the curse's reality to Emma Swan, Emma is forced to kill Maleficent to retrieve the potion within her, later revealed to be a bottle of true love. Regina later travels beneath the library to retrieve the "fail-safe" trigger to destroy Storybrooke, finding Maleficent alive in an undead-like body form. Upon Mr. Gold, Cruella de Vil, and Ursula getting into Storybrooke, they work to bring Maleficent back from the dead. In the underground caverns beneath the Storybrooke Library, Mr. Gold assembles the remains of Maleficent. When Cruella and Ursula obtain a special box from Mr. Gold's Pawnshop without Belle noticing, Mary Margaret and David work to keep them from getting Maleficent's remains which leads to Ursula knocking them unconscious. Taking the blood of Mary Margaret and David, Cruella places the blood on Maleficent's ashes which resurrects Maleficent as the component for this revival spell was the blood of those who wronged her the most. Maleficent then tells Mary Margaret and David that they will experience the pain that she has experienced. After putting a sleeping spell on Storybrooke, Maleficent speaks with Mr. Gold about getting the Author so that she can find out what Snow White did to the egg containing her child. When Regina was put asleep, Maleficent demands from Mr. Gold to find out her answer on her child's fate. Using the rattle as a charm, Mr. Gold looks into the past where the baby was adopted and named Lily. Maleficent tells Mr. Gold that they must find a way to reunite her with Lily. Coming to realize Mr. Gold only cares about himself, Maleficent approaches Emma, Mary Margaret, David, Regina, and Captain Hook proposing an alliance with them if Emma finds Lilith for her. While Emma and Regina are out searching for her daughter, Maleficent is left to guard Belle's heart in Regina's office. While sitting behind the desk, she toys with the baby rattle in one hand until David and Mary Margaret enter attempting to make amends for what they did to her. Unimpressed, Maleficent considers that their apology should be for Lilith since they did the most damage to her, to which they promise to do whatever it takes to make it up. She questions if it's enough for Lilith who may not forgive them for making her a monster. Later as Mr. Gold approaches the office, Maleficent opens the door daring him to try and get in. Upon briefly testing the entrance, he uncovers a barrier that Regina cast to keep him out. Maleficent makes it clear she is no longer working with him since Emma and Regina will find Lilith and that Emma won't turn dark as he wants. He contends that Lilith is actually the person who will make Emma stay on the path of darkness. She scoffs at his assertion and eventually discovers that Mr. Gold purposely distracted her with conversation so Will could steal Belle's heart. Regina was later informed of this after Emma had not given into the darkness. Maleficent was able to be reunited with Lily. When Lily asks Maleficent about what they are going to do about Snow White and Prince Charming, Maleficent states that she isn't up for revenge. Maleficent works to keep Lily in Storybrooke while warning her that she won't be able to get back into Storybrooke. Maleficent approaches Mary Margaret and David for help into keeping Lily in Storybrooke. Maleficent, Mary Margaret, and David later encounter Lily in her dragon form. Maleficent approaches Lily's dragon form as Mary Margaret runs after her. David states to Mary Margaret that Lily is out of control as she knocks Mary Margaret out. When Maleficent confronts Lily, she regresses back to dragon form as Maleficent gives Lily her baby rattle which she never got the chance to give her. Lily claims that she destroys everything she touches ever since Snow White and Prince Charming put Emma's darkness in her. Maleficent convinces Lily to stay for a week to teach her some tricks. According to Lily during her talk with Emma, she mentioned that Maleficent doesn't know who her father is, since the conception happened while she and the father were dragons, she doesn't know his identity (meaning it was a sorcerer in the form of a dragon or a regular dragon).
Ursula the Sea Witch	—	Merrin Dungey	4	6	Alive
Ursula is a half-woman half-octopus sea witch. She is named after the Sea Goddess, Ursula, who grants mermaids the ability to walk on dry land from one high tide to another in twelve hours. Ursula also appears to have a human form where she can bring out her tentacles at will. In her earlier life, Ursula was a former mermaid who was the daughter of King Poseidon while her mother was killed by a pirate that she helped. Her singing voice nearly caused Captain Hook's ship to crash while on his way back to Neverland. She had a disagreement with her father where she was to user her voice to harm people as long as she is in his ocean. While performing at a bar in human form, Ursula is approached by Captain Hook where she tells Captain Hook her history and shows him an artifact that she took from her father's vault. Ursula told Captain Hook that she is raising money for Glowerhaven which is where her mother planned to go. Captain Hook plans to take Ursula to Glowerhaven. Unbeknownst to Ursula, Captain Hook is to give Ursula an enchanted sea shell by King Poseidon which will take away Ursula singing voice in exchange for the information on how to defeat Rumplestiltskin. Captain Hook tipped off Ursula of King Poseidon's visit and would like her to obtain some squid ink from her father. After they both pulled off their part, King Poseidon arrived where he claimed that he didn't want to lose Ursula like how he lost her mother. To make King Poseidon suffer after ruining his plans, Captain Hook was forced to take away Ursula's voice as she flees into the ocean. Back at his lair, King Poseidon apologized to Ursula for what happened. Ursula decides to choose her own "side," and grabs his trident which she uses to transform herself into an appearance similar to the Ursula of legend, while also increasing her powers beyond that of Poseidon's. This grants her the title as the Sea Witch. At some point, Ursula worked with Maleficent and Cruella De Vil in order to obtain a magic gauntlet that Rumplestiltskin obtained during his visit to Camelot. Ursula and Cruella De Vil were guarding Maleficent's cave where they were put to sleep by Snow White and Prince Charming. Ursula and Cruella De Vil are later transported to Earth alongside the egg containing Maleficent's child. Many years later after the Dark Curse, Ursula was seen in the Land Without Magic working as an aquarium worker in New York feeding the fish there. Mr. Gold finds her (after being forced out of Storybrooke by Belle) and offers her a chance to get even with the heroes and find the Author. They then head out to find Cruella De Vil and Maleficent. Ursula and Mr. Gold find Cruella De Vil in Long Island. Upon using Mr. Gold's cellphone, Ursula and Cruella make a deal with Regina to let them into Storybrooke in exchange for info on how to defeat the Chernabog. After the Chernabog disappeared upon being thrown over the town line, Ursula and Cruella were invited into Storybrooke. Later that night, Ursula and Cruella get Mr. Gold back into Storybrooke. Emma later learns that Captain Hook had previously known Ursula during his days as a pirate. Captain Hook draws Ursula out of Mr. Gold's hideout to make a deal with Ursula to return her treasure. Using part of the Jolly Roger that Captain Hook has, Ursula uses her underwater portal ability to bring the Jolly Roger to Storybrooke in the form a bottled ship. Using a Wonderland mushroom given to them by Will Scarlet, Captain Hook and Ursula restore the Jolly Roger to its true form. Once on board, Captain Hook obtains the shell where the singing voice doesn't come out since Captain Hook states that villains don't get their happy endings. Ursula then tosses Captain Hook overboard. Ursula is unaware that Captain Hook was rescued by Ariel. After Emma frees August and Mary Margaret knocked out Cruella De Vil, Ursula attacked the group and got Mary Margaret trapped in her tentacle. In the nick of time, Captain Hook arrives with King Poseidon (who was brought here by Ariel) who tries to reason with Ursula while mentioning that he has a part of his wife in Ursula. King Poseidon manages to successfully return Ursula's voice. Afterwards, Ursula reconciles with her father. Before leaving with King Poseidon, Ursula tips off Captain Hook that Mr. Gold has plans for Emma.

After the dance, Isaac shows Cruella his special pen while stating that he tells her about the many realms that he has visited to write the stories while explaining the truth of her world. He proves his point by making some jewelry appear on her and then enables Cruella to learn magic. Cruella states that she has to deal with her mother first. When Cruella's mother confronts Isaac on where Cruella is while claiming that Cruella killed her fathers, Isaac is advised to stay away from Cruella. Cruella manages to sneak away Isaac's pen where she uses her new persuasion powers to turn the dogs against Cruella's mother.

—	Isaac Heller	Patrick Fischler	4	7	Alive
Isaac Heller is an up-and-coming writer who started out as a television salesman in our world in 1966. Upon being invited to a publishing company, he meets the Apprentice in the form of a publisher where he is advised to choose the pen that would call out to him. Because of this, he becomes the latest of many Authors. The job of each Author was to transcribe the events that occurred in the Enchanted Forest, using a magical quill. Among his many predecessors, it is suggested Walt Disney had the job before he died in December 1966. Unlike many others, this Author chose to abuse the power of the magic quill to twist the facts into stories that amused him, he showed no regret for the anguish he caused others through his manipulations. Isaac has a history with Cruella where he plays a part in her origin. Attempting the flee the Sorcerer and the Apprentice, he posed as a common Peddler that crossed paths with Snow White and Prince Charming. He informed that Maleficent had turned into a dragon and laid an egg, tricking them into seeking the Apprentice's help. The Author manipulated the Apprentice into promising to ensure the unknown Emma's goodness by transferring all her darkness into another unborn child. As a result, Maleficent's child was taken and banished to the Land Without Magic, along with Ursula and Cruella De Vil, after the spell was complete. As punishment, the Apprentice sealed the Author into the Book. The Author has no power while locked in the Book and the pen and magical inkwell (minus magical ink) is eventually seen in Mr. Gold's possession. It remains unknown how much he could still manipulate others, but his prison appeared during each Dark Curse. Some time later, a mystic from Hong Kong called The Dragon learns about the existence of the storybook and amasses research about the Author. After The Dragon's death, August Booth takes the research with him for his journey to Storybrooke. When Regina began seeking him to gain a happy ending, the Author made an alternate page from the book appear to her as a sign that he was around. Mother Superior knew he existed but hadn't been seen in years. Mr. Gold also knew of his existence, and sought him out to eradicate the rules to put an end to all villainous ways. The Queens of Darkness had joined forces with Mr. Gold to find and free the Author. After a struggle between the Charmings and the Queens, the Author's prison (a picture of a door) ended up in Emma's possession. However, she made the mistake of unlocking the door and letting him out. Freed, he fled into Storybrooke leaving both sides to find him again. While trying to make another quill, he is approached by Mr. Gold who gets him away from Emma in exchange that he writes a new bunch of "Happy Endings." Mr. Gold brings Isaac to his cabin where he is told that he'll need the ink for the quill. Isaac is told that he plans to bring Emma to his side. Cruella approaches Isaac where she threatens him to help her out for old time's sake. As Isaac states that Cruella has lied to Mr. Gold about knowing him, she states that there is more than one way to skin an author. Mr. Gold returns where he learns about Isaac's history with Cruella as Isaac begs for forgiveness. Mr. Gold even tells her about Cruella's plans to kill Isaac as Mr. Gold has a plan to keep Isaac alive. Isaac then gives Mr. Gold what he wrote about Cruella. When Mary Margaret and David find Isaac, he wants them that Emma will turn dark and gives them the truth that Cruella can't take the life of another. This causes Mary Margaret and David to go after Emma before she does anything bad. Isaac tells Mr. Gold that they need Emma in order to produce the Magic Ink for the Author's Quill. Mr. Gold and Isaac look up information on Blood Magic. Regina shows up wanting Isaac's services as she wanted his services first. Mr. Gold proposes to Regina to help her find the Magic Ink for Isaac. Regina states that she'll find the Magic Ink on her own as she teleports Isaac away from her. Regina states that the energies of Emma going dark is what is needed for the Magic Ink. Isaac states that he was working for Mr. Gold because he protected him. As Isaac is shown a picture of Regina being with Robin Hood, Isaac states that he was planning to write about it, but never got the chance. Regina plans to obtain the Magic Ink. Upon obtaining Lily's blood for the Magic Ink, Regina and Isaac visit Zelena's cell at the Storybrooke Hospital and states that she plans to write an ending for Zelena. Regina then plans to have Zelena written out the story as Zelena claims that she has gotten to know about Cora. As the Magic Ink is drying, Regina tells Zelena that Cora wasn't a better mother as Robin Hood comes in. Regina decides to spare Zelena only for Isaac to write his rendezvous with Mr. Gold. Upon meeting up with Mr. Gold, Isaac is instructed to start writing in the "Heroes and Villains" book. As Isaac started writing in the "Heroes and Villains" book, Mr. Gold suggests to Isaac that he rewrites Rumplestiltskin's past where he can move on without Baelfire. Once it is written, reality is changed where Henry is still in Storybrooke and Isaac is a successful writer where his book "Heroes and Villains" is a bestseller. Upon being threatened by Henry Isaac shows Henry that they are in the original copy. Isaac states that he broke the "Don't Write the Happy Ending" rule and can no longer bring them back. Henry is told by Isaac that he is not from the magical world. Using the key, Henry escapes into the picture of the book where he finds that Isaac has altered the stories as Isaac traps Henry for an ogre to kill with Isaac running off. He is rescued by the knight Rumplestiltskin. Isaac finds that Henry was freed and recalled that he wrote for Rumplestiltskin to slay the ogre. Besides Rumplestiltskin being an ogre-slaying knight, the reality Isaac wrote is where Regina is a rival of Robin Hood, Snow White is the Evil Queen, the Seven Dwarfs and Granny are Snow White's minions, Prince Charming is Snow White's slave following his brother's death, Zelena is Robin Hood's fiancée, Emma is a sorcerer called "The Savior" who is imprisoned in an impenetrable tower by Snow White and has memories of Henry, Captain Hook is a deckhand of Blackbeard's crew, and Lily is the guard of Emma's prison. While looking for Henry, Isaac is caught in a net by the Seven Dwarfs where he is suspected of being in league with Regina and is brought before Snow White. Isaac tries to convince Snow White into sparing him by claiming that he knows where Regina is in exchange for Henry also being killed. Snow White agrees with the deal where their plan involves Regina's capture only for Robin Hood to interfere. Isaac finds Rumplestiltskin's house and tells him that Henry will ruin the story by crashing Robin Hood and Zelena's wedding. Rumplestiltskin tells Isaac to leave as he tells Rumplestiltskin to make sure Robin Hood's wedding isn't crashed. Isaac later attends the wedding of Robin Hood and Zelena where Emma fights Rumplestiltskin. After Regina is injured by Rumplestiltskin, Isaac is among those that come out as Robin Hood and his group find Regina dying. Emma punches Isaac as he states that he is not the Author anymore. Isaac is even surprised that Henry was chosen to be the next Author by the Magic Quill. Using Regina's blood, Henry writes in the book something that undoes Isaac's work. Upon reality being restored, Isaac leaves Mr. Gold as he succumbs to his dark powers. While fleeing, Isaac is intercepted by David and Mary Margaret where he claims that Prince Charming reminded him of the bad boss he had before the Apprentice came along. Mary Margaret claims that Isaac has become the villain and pities him.

It was mentioned that Merlin was the one who had forged the sword Excalibur. Merlin creates a box which contains a hat that can absorb and accumulate powers. As a safeguard, the hat is protected by the Sorcerer so only someone who has not succumbed to darkness can open it. For every person that has obtained the Dark One's powers, each has tried and failed to harness the hat in order to keep their magic while gaining freedom from the dagger. The Apprentice speaks with the presence of Merlin having banished the current Author Isaac into the book after he made him harm Maleficent's child. Merlin tells the Apprentice that he cannot undo what has already been done and remarks that the child along with Snow White and Prince Charming's child are bound together as they always have been.

Inside, the house contains his hat, a hidden portal door to Arendelle, and a secret room containing blank storybooks similar to the ones used by each Author.
