So, remember my theory about Dr. Whale being Eric? Yeah, he's not Eric. (This also means I'm not overlooking the character Disney keeps shoving in...and I'm not the only one that feels that way, people...)
Would you believe Dr. Frankenstein? This gives a whole new dimension as to why he was hitting on Ruby, even before his memories came back.
Of course, he's vastly different than the one from the Sommersverse. Victor in that one, well, as novelization says, he was a respected scientist and was even engaged, but Dracula (Who is perhaps the Rumpel of THAT realm, if you think about it) takes an interest in his work and things go downhill from there. And the poor man, he doesn't want to bring any harm to the man he's brought back to life, but of course, he's dead at about 5 minutes in for refusing to cooperate.
This one...I could just see him being Sommersverse Victor's bully, calling him weak, grabbing him by the labcoat collar and demanding he gives him his lunch.
Of course, I've noticed some things below, especially the fact Jefferson the portal jumper is around...and remember all those doors from ep. 17? I'm guessing that "Vaseria" (The land "Van Helsing" takes place in but it's just the name I'm using until something official comes up) was one of them...

This also makes my Ruby/Velkan pairing more plausible...though he got attacked by a werewolf and she has had it in her bloodline...

Again, it could not happen since that's Universal and OUAT is Disney, but come on...it makes so much sense...and he wouldn't be eaten like Peter...
