Centuries ago, the Dark King started a rumor that would become known as the [[Prophecy]]. The "Prophecy" foretold of a Knight who would arise to defeat the Vile Four and kill the Dark King. Though it is not explained why the Dark King started this rumor, the Crystal of Light believed the Prophecy to be true, and eventually believes [[Benjamin]] is the Knight it predicts will defeat the Dark King. With the Crystal of Light's guidance, Benjamin saves the Crystals and climbs both the Focus Tower and Doom Castle to confront the Dark King. With [[Phoebe]]'s help, he ultimately defeats him and saves the world. |

| − | In regards to the Dark King's backstory, very little is known about him, but it is generally assumed that he desires the conquer or destroy the world, which is why he has the Vile Four drain the Crystals of their power to plague the world with disasters and misfortunes. The Crystal of Light tells Benjamin that the Focus Tower was the center of the world until the Vile Four sealed its doors, and as with the four lairs of the Vile Four, a Crystal appears at the Dark King's throne when he is killed. |

| − | This would seem to imply that the Focus Tower was not always the Dark King's fortress, and like the Vile Four with their respective lairs he attacked the tower and seized the Crystal of Light at some point in the past. It is unknown why he began the rumor of the Prophecy, but given the statue of Benjamin in the antechamber before his room, the Prophecy may have been true after all and the Dark King lied about being its source to discourage Benjamin. |

Welcome to the power of darkness!
The Dark King
The Dark King (ダークキング, Dāku Kingu?) is the primary antagonist of Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. A green-skinned monarch in regal robes, he watches over the world from his throne in Doom Castle, situated above the Focus Tower.
Story
Template:Spoilers The Dark King is the secret master of the Vile Four, and the one who ordered them to drain the Crystals of their power and weaken the land. The Crystal of Light is found near the end of the game shining at the Dark King's throne when he is killed. The significance of this is not explained, though it may be meant to imply the Dark King was draining its power as the Vile Four were draining their respective Crystals.
Centuries ago, the Dark King started a rumor that would become known as the Prophecy. The "Prophecy" foretold of a Knight who would arise to defeat the Vile Four and kill the Dark King. Though it is not explained why the Dark King started this rumor, the Crystal of Light believed the Prophecy to be true, and eventually believes Benjamin is the Knight it predicts will defeat the Dark King. With the Crystal of Light's guidance, Benjamin saves the Crystals and climbs both the Focus Tower and Doom Castle to confront the Dark King.
