Peter Pan (Once Upon a Time)

Peter Pan (not to be confused with the main character in the 1953 Disney film) previously known as Malcom is the main antagonist of the third season of Once Upon A Time. Unlike his disney counterpart who is slightly-pompous but fun loving, this version of peter pan is nasty,and heartless (relating to a role thought by J.M. Barrie in the early drafts of the original book).

History
Malcom lived a life of cheating in order to support himself and his son Rumpelstiltskin. He leaves Rumple with two elderly spinsters in order to find a proper job and gives him a straw doll to keep him company. Unable to find work he goes back to his old ways of tricking people only to be found by his son. Rumple gives him a magic bean that he got from the spinsters, while Malcom wishes to sell it he is later convinced to use it to take them somewhere where the two of them can be happy together. Malcom decides to use it to take them to a place he visited in his dreams as a boy tha's supposed to be perfect- Neverland.

Upon arriving in Neverland, Malcom is overjoyed but is horrified to discover he can nolonger fly. He then travels up a tree to retrieve pixie dust only to be encountered by the Shadow that the reason he cannot fly is because he is nolonger a boy. They make a deal for him to regain his youth by abandoning Rumple, so as Rumple is taken back to the Enchanted forest by the Shadow, Malcom transforms into an adolecent boy. He then takes on the name that Rumple gave his straw doll- Peter Pan, and the shadow leads him to Skull Rock where he is shown a hour glass representing his youth, and that when it runs out he will die.

Years later he encounters the pre-pirate Captain Hook and his brother Liam in search to retrieve dream shade for the king under the belief that it is poison. Pan informs them that it is actually a deadly poison, while Hook takes this to consideration Liam assures that he is trying to trick them. He comes back to see Liam dying of dreamshade and hook begs for help. Pan reveals a spring that has waters that will cure the dreamshade but warns that it comes at a price. Liam is cured but because the water is connected to the island Liam dies when the connection is broken from leaving the island.

Sometime later when Rumple has become the darkone, Pan has become lonely in Neverland and comes to the town of Hamelin and uses a magic pipe that only lonely abandoned children can hear and dubs them the "Lost Boys"  earning him the name "Pied Piper". This also lurs Rumples son Bealfire, when Rumple returns to get Bea back Pan proposes a deal that if Rumple askes Bea if he wants to go back with him he will let him, but Rumple(afraid of being abandoned) instead teleports Bea out much to Pans aire.

Years later he discovers that the only way to save himself is to have the heart of the truest believer and aquires a picture of the boy(who is his great-grandson Henry), he sends the shadow to kidnap children and bring them back to neverland for inspction. On one of these instances the shadow brings back Bealfire(who had just traveled to London via a magic bean), and takes Wendy Darling as prisoner when she comes back to rescue him, forcing her brothers John and Micheal to do his bidding over the century.

At some point he lets Bealfire escape so that he can father the truest believer, and creates a fake organization called the Home Office under the false pretense of destroying magic enlisting Greg Mendell and Tamara. When they finally bring Henry to Neverland they are killed and Pan "befriends Henry" whil masquerades as an Ex-Lost Boy. When Henry proves himself of having the heart of the truest believer he reveals his true self and calls forth the lost boys.

Personality
The main area's of Pans personality are: Nasty, Ruthless, Dissatisfied, Selfcentered, Heartless, Mischievious, Deviouse, and truelly evil.

So far Peter Pan seems to be the most evil of the Once Upon a Time villians. While most other villians show capability to love for either a spouse or family, Pan showed no hesitation about sacrificing his great-grandson so he could live. While he seemed to care for Rumple when he was Malcom, he later revealed to the lost boy Felix that he never loved him, and later told Rumple face to face all he could think about with him was a parasite sucking his dreams and money. While he did offer Rumple a chance to join him in neverland when he came to save Henry, this only led to him imprisoning Rumple in pandora's box.

Along with his lack of love for family, he also showed little care for the lost boys. While he considered them his friends he had no problem convincing Henry to show no mercy while attacking Devin, and even crushed the heart of his right-hand man Felix to activate a curse.

He officially crosses the Moral Event Horrizon when he comes to storybroke and reactivates the curse that Regina originally enacted. First by killing his "friend" Felix, then by striping Rumple of his powers and taunting him and planning to kill his loved ones (including Belle and his own grandson Bealfire). Though inspite of his apparent lack of care for anyone else, it is shown that he did fear death, and in times of danger by his son he would freign acceptence asking to startover with him. Though this would be fruitless as Rumple had already been hurt enough as to where he could never forgive him.
