Dark One

Dark One (1)

A superior intelligence who lives in the absolute dark beyond Space. The Dark One looks something like a medieval conception of the demon Asmodeus: black all over, and furry, with a snout like a hog, green eyes, and the claws and fangs of a wild beast. The Dark One claimed that he wears a bestial shape merely because foolish people in olden days believed that He looked that way. The Dark One said that he means no harm. He said that he wished to gain mental rapport with human minds, so as to enable certain exchanges between humanity and Those beyond. He appeared in dreams to Edgar Gordon and instructed him to write books to prepare humanity. One May Eve, he briefly became incarnate in Gordon, only to be shot by the Dark Demon narrator. Then the Dark One disappeared. The Dark One is also called the Demon Messenger in old books, possibly including Cultes des Goules and the Daemonolorum. The Dark Demon narrator wondered if the Dark One was connected with Nyarlathotep, or with the Dark Demon of the witch-coven rituals. [RB Demon]

Dark One (2)

Another name for Nyarlathotep. Doctor Stugatche dreamed of the Dark One. [RB Faceless]
