Rumplestiltskin’s son, Baelfire aka Neal Cassidy has always been a fan favorite character in the ABC fantasy series. Once upon a time. Unlike his cowardly father, Baelfire is brave and ambitious. His nickname also happens to be Bae, which makes him even more endearing.
The older Baelfire is played by Michael Raymond-James, while the younger version of the character is played by three actors: Dylan Schmid, Sebastian Wilkinson, Dean Petriw, and Brandon Spink. Here are the details about Baelfire that the audience did not know.
His deal with Rumpelstilt
Rumplekhokin always kept his word, but somehow he felt it was unnecessary to do so to his son. In fact, Baelfire had the honor of being the only one his father ever defaulted to.
This happened in episode 19 of the first season, “The Homecoming”. When a fairy gives Bill a magic bean that will take him and his father to a place without magic, Humpty Humpty agrees to go with her son. But when the time comes and the vortex opens to get them there, Humpty refuses to go, much to Baelfire’s disappointment.
His address
The adult Baelfire’s apartment is located at 89 Wooster Street, New York, NY, 10012. This detail was finally seen in the twelfth episode of the third season, “Serenade in New York City.”
His apartment is located in a building behind the real-life pasta brand Piedmont Ravioli Co. Inc. The company is based at 162 Mulberry Street, New York and appeared in the Season 2 premiere titled “Broken”.
die
Baelfire is the third protagonist to die Once upon a time it was dead. The first was Sheriff Graham, who died after Regina was heartbroken. This happened after Graham told her straight up that he couldn’t be in a relationship with her anymore.
The second protagonist to die was Rumpelstilt, although he was resurrected. Baelfire dies after Emma uses her magical powers to separate him from Rumplehôkin so that Rumplehôkin can reveal the identity of the Wicked Witch.
year old
Baelfire is one of the oldest characters on the show. He is believed to be over 100 years old. But what about his youthful appearance? And for good reason.
His stay at Neverland makes him look younger, although it is also said that he can choose to age if he wants to. Young Baelfire definitely looks better. Viewers will be delighted that he never chooses to grow old. Baelfire’s other humanoid, Neal Cassidy, is believed to have been born on March 23, 1977, making him even younger.
his least favorite meal
In a show about magic, characters shouldn’t be picky about what they eat. After all, they can always magically turn any meal into whatever they want. Or can they? Not really. Like everyone else, they have the worst and the best meals.
Tamara once said that Baelfire hates mayonnaise and Neal avoids it like the plague. This conversation takes place in Season 2, Episode 20, titled “The Evil Queen”.
his talent
Belfil has a talent for drawing. He can create the best photos in very short time. It was a talent he inherited from his mother, Milah, who also painted hundreds of pictures.
The drawings on the walls of Baelfire’s cave all represent different events in his life. There is an image of a gate, a reminder of how separated he was from his father. There is also a drawing of Captain Hook and his ship. Then there was the image of London, where Baelfire lived for some time. There is another drawing showing the Darlings living with Baelfire.
watch collection
It is a small detail that easily catches the eye of the viewer. Baelfire, like Mr. Gold and Henry, has an extensive watch collection that he has amassed over a period of time. This detail was also revealed in the first episode of Season 2 “Shattered”.
Several iconic clocks appeared on the show, such as the Hourglass and the Eternal Clock. Each clock tends to represent something different. For example, the clock represents the time when Peter Pan was a child.
appearance
A wanted poster for Neal Cassidy, Baelfire’s alternate form, can be seen in the sixth episode of season 2, “Tallahassee”. It said he was 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighed 170 pounds.
The poster also said he has a scar on his left arm from the stab wound that has healed. Another detail on the poster is that his eyes are brown. It’s hard to notice all these details just looking at the man on the screen.
the meaning of his name
According to Emma, ”Baelfire” is synonymous with “campfire”. She said this to Henry in the ninth episode of the first season, “True North”. In this episode, she tells Henry that his dad is training to be a firefighter.
The name can be spelled three different ways: Bale Fire, Bel Fire and Beal Fire. In the 14th episode of season 2 titled “Manhattan”, Humpty Humpty stated that Baelfire is a strong name.
his connection to the series is lost
Oddly enough, Baelfire is closely related to a popular suspense series. In “Broken”, the Geronimo Jackson logo can be seen on the back of his I-Pod. Geronimo Jackson happens to be the fictional band in the series lost.
In the episode “Manhattan”. The number 23 can be seen in the bar where Baelfire and Emma are chatting. 23 is Thursday lost numbers. Baelfire’s replacement Neal was also born in 1977, which is an important year in the timeline lost.
