Darklord Craydall

The Dark Lord is the main antagonist from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King. A King of the monsters and the original ruler of the frontier land where Padark stands.

Early History
Although it is stated that the Dark Lord was born from Miasma, it is known that some monsters were once human before being turned into monsters by the mist. It it revealed by Chime and random Citizens of Padarak that the Dark Lord was possibly a young Selkie who set out to find a new home after being shunned in his old and turned into the evil lord after spending time in the miasma. When he came to the frontier land he was granted the power of Architek by the crystal that resided in the land and began to create a new kingdom that would become a paradise for monsters. After the miasma cleared the Dark Lord lost his form and burst, his body turning into Elementites. All that was left of him was his heart that was kept within the crystal. Eventually King Epitav arrived to the frontier land and was granted the power of Architek by the crystal. Eventually the Dark Lord revealed himself to King Epitav and challenged him. Epitav tried to take him out using the power of Architek, but was defeated and captured by the Dark Lord and the people of the kingdom fled.

Confrontation
The Dark Lord, taking the appearance of King Epitav, appears to King Leo as the construction of the kingdom is beginning. He thanks Leo for the work hes done and ask him to continue his work. His motives are unknown until the second time he appears, revealing his true form and that the Elementite the Adventurers were collecting in fact restored his true form. He then reveals to Leo that his father is still alive and he has him captured. He then heads to the Shrine of Awakening, where he is keeping King Epitav.
