Dark Lord

A Dark Lord is typically a fictional villain characterized by their malevolence, power, and opposition to good or heroic forces. Often found in fantasy or adventure stories, they embody evil, wield formidable abilities, and seek dominance or destruction. Their role is to challenge protagonists and create conflict, serving as a symbol of darkness or corruption. While the term is rooted in fiction, it can also metaphorically describe real-life figures perceived as powerful but morally corrupt or threatening.
