![]() This allows the darkness from within Vortigan's heart to infect her, transforming Nimue into the very first "Dark One". In the Season 5 episode "Nimue", it is revealed that the Darkness tethered itself to the soul of Nimue, Merlin's lover, and she became its first-ever host after she succumbed to its temptations, crushing the heart of the man who destroyed her home and family, Vortigan. The Darkness was a shapeless form of evil, presumably sentient. Rumplestiltskin (Wish Realm) (current Dark One deceased).Rumplestiltskin (current Dark One deceased).At least eighteen previous Dark Ones (deceased).This is however until the current Dark One, Rumplestiltskin received the power of every Dark One who ever lived, multiplying the Darkness as well as his power, and making him the single most powerful sorcerer in all the realms. However,thanks to Merlin having much more experience,he is stronger than almost every Dark One, except Nimue,who is apparently the only Dark One and Sorcerer with power matching Merlin's. It can be said that the Dark One, and the Sorcerer Merlin, the only other recipient of the magic and immortality from the Holy Grail, are the most powerful sorcerer's in all the realms and are the ying and yang of light and dark magic. It can be considered the true and most dangerous villain of the entire franchise, given that Merlin, the second most powerful known force of good and righteousness (second only to the God Zeus), was unable to destroy it, and that it was the power behind every dark action taken by Rumplestiltskin, meaning that it is indirectly responsible for the entire series from the casting of the first Dark Curse to the present. It is the final antagonist of the second half of Season 4 and the main antagonist of the first half of Season 5, being the force behind Emma Swan, Nimue, and Captain Hook's powers. Thus, the Darkness is indirectly responsible for every villainous action taken by Rumplestiltskin and controls every Dark One throughout the entire franchise. Upon the Dark One being killed by the dagger, the Darkness would then possess the killer, making them the new Dark One and branding their name onto the dagger. Unable to destroy it, Merlin bound the powerful evil to the soul of a human, as well as the Dark One's Dagger that would eventually become the chosen Dark One's very cursed weapon, allowing the possessor of the dagger to control the evil human. The Darkness is an evil force that was battled by Merlin the Sorcerer centuries ago.
