Darkness (Being)

"Every ruler must have a shadow, a being who watches and waits every moment of the day. At the first sign of weakness, the shadow pounces, defeats the ruler, and assumes the throne for himself. It is a brutal but necessary way to make sure compassion and doubt never enter a ruler's heart."

- "The Shadowed One", Dark Hunters

"Darkness" is a watchful Dark Hunter and the first to carry this codename. "Darkness" has been assigned to supervise the actions and decisions of "The Shadowed One" to ensure that his leader does not become merciful and compassionate.

Biography
"Darkness" constantly looms over "The Shadowed One", waiting for the leader of the Dark Hunters to make a mistake, so he can kill him, obtaining the position of "The Shadowed One" for himself. When "The Shadowed One" travels to other islands, "Darkness" follows him in order to keep an eye on him. Even when he does not travel with "The Shadowed One", he still manages to watch him. He rarely leaves "The Shadowed One", and only then to discipline disobedient Dark Hunters. When the Piraka attempted to rebel against Hunters, "Darkness" briefly left the side of "The Shadowed One" to speak with them. He warned them of their actions, and that "The Shadowed One" knew what they were doing. "Darkness" is currently on Xia, with "The Shadowed One". "Darkness" was present when "The Shadowed One" found several viruses and killed "Ancient", as well as when the Barraki requested a meeting.

Dark Mirror
In the Toa Empire Alternate Universe, "Darkness" was a member of Pohatu's resistance team and was charged with gathering all of the Dark Hunters still in Metru Nui to join the final assault against Tuyet. In the ensuing battle, "Darkness" used his powers to enter the Coliseum through cracks in the wall, but was swept away outside the Hall of Masks after Tuyet unleashed her Water powers, and drowned.

Abilities and Traits
"Darkness" has the ability to bend and slither through minuscule places. He is considered to be one of the most powerful Dark Hunters and is fully capable of taking down "The Shadowed One" if needed. Most of the events that transpire around "The Shadowed One" mean little to "Darkness". His sole interest is waiting for "The Shadowed One" to show weakness, so that he can kill the Dark Hunter leader and replace him.

Tools
"Darkness" has various claws and blades sharp enough to tear through most armor.
