->'''Played By:''' Ethan Embry, Benjamin Stockham (child)
->'''Centric Episodes:''' "Welcome to Storybrooke"

A man from Pennsylvania who crashes his car in Storybrooke and stumbles upon the truth involving the residents of the small town.
----
* BaitTheDog: First he was likeable, then he was sympathetic, and then he was just plain creepy.
* BigBadDuumvirate: With [[spoiler:Tamara]] in the last quarter of Season 2, though they both work for the GreaterScopeVillain, [[spoiler:Peter Pan]].
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Like his partner and [[spoiler:lover Tamara]], he tends to appear more pleasant than he really is.
* BrokenMasquerade: As his map covered with pins demonstrates, it's like they're not even ''trying'' to uphold the masquerade.
-->'''Owen:''' This town is lousy with magic.
* CapeBusters: Claims to be part of an organization that destroys magic.
* ColdBloodedTorture: [[spoiler:Straps Regina down and electrocutes her for some information]].
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: He gets killed by having his [[spoiler:''shadow'' ripped out of him]].
* DisappearedDad: Thanks to Regina.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: A major villain in Season 2... [[spoiler:killed in the first episode of Season 3]].
* EvilCounterpart: Could be considered a grown-up, dark version of Henry. A formerly sweet kid, who is highly resourceful, incredibly savvy and had his entire life turned upside-down by Regina's actions... sound familiar?
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: He considers magic to be an intrinsically evil thing because Regina used it to keep his father from him. At the end of season 2, [[spoiler:he has no qualms about blowing up the entire town, which includes children]].
* IWillFindYou: He's spent ''twenty-eight years'' looking for his father.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: After [[spoiler:Regina finally admits to killing his father because he ran away and gloats that she dumped the body in the middle of the woods]], Owen remains (mostly) [[TranquilFury calm and collected]]... at least, until he uncovers the body and just freaking ''[[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds snaps]].''
* KilledOffForReal: As of the Season 3 premiere, [[spoiler: he dies via shadow-snatching]].
* KnightTemplar: Is willing to commit mass murder if it means getting rid of what he perceives as an evil force.
* MageKiller: As Regina finds out the hard way.
* {{Muggle}}: He is a normal human. No magic in him.
* OutsideGenreFoe: Played with; after a season and a half of witches, dragons, and traveling between worlds, who expected a random guy from Pennsylvania to just crash into town and potentially break [[TheMasquerade the barely-there masquerade]]? [[spoiler: Except it turns out he ''[[BrokenMasquerade already]]'' knew about Storybrooke after all]].
* ShootTheShaggyDog:
** His search for his father. [[spoiler:Turns out Regina killed him shortly after he ran away]].
** [[spoiler: His whole mission turns out to be as well, as his mission to destroy magic was really just him being manipulated the whole time to deliver Henry to Peter Pan, and he then gets killed for his troubles]].
* SpannerInTheWorks: Ruined Hook's plans for a grand getting-killed-by-Rumpel with his car, not to mention how he could mess up the lives of everyone in Storybrooke.
* TragicKeepsake: He still has [[spoiler:the boondoggle his father gave him 28 years before, now on his key chain]].
* TragicVillain: Fails to rescue his father and gets killed after outliving his usefulness.
* UnwittingPawn: To [[spoiler:Peter Pan]].
* UsedToBeASweetKid: In "Welcome to Storybrooke".
* WalkingSpoiler: His backstory is... surprising.
* TheWitchHunter: He and [[spoiler:Tamara]] are out to destroy all magic they can find.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He honestly has no issue with carrying out his mission, even if it means killing [[spoiler:every man, woman and child in Storybrooke]]. ''Particularly'' not after learning what happened to his father.
* WrongGenreSavvy: An anonymous secret organization out to destroy all magic in the world by using science? Yeah, no such thing exists on this show: A well known fairy tale icon has to be behind this charade.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: The reason he is killed.

->'''Played By:''' Sonequa Martin-Green
->'''Centric Episodes:''' "Selfless, Brave and True"

A woman residing in New York and Neal Cassidy's fiancée.
----
* BigBadDuumvirate: With Greg in the last quarter of Season 2, though they both work for the GreaterScopeVillain, [[spoiler:Peter Pan]].

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: A major villain in Season 2... [[spoiler:killed in the first episode of Season 3]].
* EvilAllAlong: Neal's exceedingly-friendly fiancée? Oh yeah, turns out she's really a magic-hating psycho with plans to destroy an entire town of innocents.
* HeroKiller:
** She mortally wounds August in "Selfless, Brave and True".
** Shoots Neal in "Second Star to the Right," and he is presumed dead by everyone after he falls into a portal in this state.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Upon realizing that Pan and the Lost Boys have played her, she urges Henry to escape and winds up taking an arrow to the back. After Gold arrives, she fills him in on what's happened, and he crushes her heart in retaliation. Before he does this, Rumple lets her know that her excuses carry absolutely no weight with him, and takes his time crushing her heart while she watches helplessly. He wants her to know she's about to die and there's nothing that's going to change that.
* IllGirl: She had cancer in the past and has been searching the whole world for a cure until she found The Dragon. It's later revealed that [[AvertedTrope this is all a lie]], and she was faking her illness all along.
* KilledOffForReal: In the Season 3 premiere, [[spoiler: Rumpel saves her from a near-fatal arrow wound, only to pull her heart out and crush it to dust]].
* KnightTemplar: To her, magic is "unholy" and must be disposed of at all costs.
* MageKiller: Cunning enough to avert TransformationIsAFreeAction with The Dragon in Hong Kong. Also, unlike most real world {{Muggles}} who only see what they want to see, she can see the true effects of magic.
* ManipulativeBitch: To August and Neal especially.
* MeetCute: Met Neal when she bumped into him, spilling her coffee all over her. She [[ExploitedTrope did this deliberately to get close to Neal while spying on him and Pinocchio]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: She's very remorseful after learning what she's done for Peter Pan, but it isn't enough to save her from Gold's wrath.
* OutsideGenreFoe: A {{Muggle}} from ''our'' world, of all things.
* PetTheDog: She may be evil, but she seems sympathetic toward Greg/Owen in his DisappearedDad plight.
* ShockAndAwe: How she kills The Dragon... and later critically injures a ''[[ArtisticLicensePhysics wooden]]'' August.
* StunGun: Carries a taser gun around. Later revealed to be her weapon of choice.
* SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic: Works for an organization that acquires and analyzes magic for the purposes of destroying it.
* UnwittingPawn: To [[spoiler:Peter Pan]].
* WalkingSpoiler: "Neal's fiance" is pretty low on the list of her reveals.
* WeaponOfChoice: Taser, apparently.
* TheWitchHunter: Tamara has been hunting true magic in the real world for years for an, as of yet, undisclosed reason. This is what led her to seek out The Dragon in Hong Kong, to tail Pinocchio to New York, and to start a romance with Neal.
* WrongGenreSavvy: An anonymous secret organization out to destroy all magic in the world by using science? Yeah, no such thing exists on this show: A well known fairy tale icon has to be behind this charade.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Although unlike Greg, she survives long enough to tell [[spoiler:Gold what's happened. He then finishes her off]].
* YourCheatingHeart: She is in love with [[spoiler:Greg Mendell despite being engaged to Neal as a part of her mission]].

->'''Played By:''' Tzi Ma

A healer based in Hong Kong who offers magical antidotes for otherwise incurable diseases.
----
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: The Dragon claims magic can be found anywhere, even in the Land Without Magic, if one looks hard enough. This ends up being proven right by Henry and co. shortly after.
* DealWithTheDevil: His ''modus operandi'', though his prices are more literal and less diabolical than Rumple's.
* DragonHoard: Implied to have one, since he asks for a personal keepsake in addition to $10,000 dollars.
* PlayingWithFire: Implied; he begins puffing smoke before facing Tamara, which fits into his role as a dragon.
* UnexplainedRecovery: After his little encounter with Tamara he turns out to be alive and well in the season six finale; him being "resilient" is the only explanation.
* TheUnreveal: Was about to reveal his true form when Tamara killed him with her taser.

* MeaningfulName: Lillith is a rather fitting name for [[spoiler:Maleficent's child.]] Especially when one takes into consideration how [[spoiler: Lilith in classical art is associated with serpents (particularly ''the'' Serpent of Genesis)--- Rather fitting for the daughter of a woman famous for transforming into a ''dragon''.]]

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: He wants to find his father, but that's not his real mission. His real mission is... nope, no EvilGloating that might screw him over here, he's just not telling.
