Dark One
Shadowy malevolent entity
Dark One is a title for an ultimate evil being in fantasy fiction and mythology—Satan, a dark god, or the supreme antagonist in an epic struggle between good and evil.
The capitalization signals a proper title rather than mere description: The prophecy said only the chosen one could defeat the Dark One.
The term carries weight in fantasy literature, particularly associated with works like Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, where it names the imprisoned source of all evil.
