prince of darkness
Evil's supreme ruler
Prince of darkness is a title for Satan, the devil, or any supreme evil figure.
The phrase appears in religious contexts and literary works depicting ultimate malevolence.
It extends to anyone perceived as deeply sinister or powerful in dark ways: The press dubbed the scandal-plagued executive the prince of darkness.
Sometimes used with theatrical irony for someone merely gloomy or mischievous.
