Trivia[]

  • Arthur is the main antagonist of the flashbacks portion of the first half of Season 5, along with Zelena. In the present time, the role goes to Emma Swan until Nimue and her ally Captain Hook arise as the true villains of the arc.
  • This version of King Arthur is similar to King Stefan from Maleficent; they are villainous kings who started out good, but were driven to evil and madness by the people closest to them (Arthur: Merlin, Stefan: Maleficent) and became obsessed with destroying them, which ultimately led to their defeat.
