History/Background Information
After Sonic killed Mario in order to fulfill Darkness and Light's prophecy, Darkness began to separate into two halves to create the new balance of good and evil. However, after Mario was resurrected by the Star Spirits due to Mario's friends begging them to do so, the balance became unstable due to the return of Light, creating a rift to the Negative World. This has caused the halves of Darkness to develop the need to be independent. After Sonic is critically injured by Negative Mario and Negative Sonic, The Darkness of Evil used that opportunity to escape Sonic's body. However, because he wasn't at full strength, he needed to possess Mario, though it was only brief due to Mario having no darkness within his heart. After being expelled out of Mario's body, The Darkness of Evil was forced to take the form of Mario, due to Mario being the strongest being he has been connected to.
After realizing that the Shines for the Frozen Sun were close to being revealed, The Darkness decided to form a group in order to collect those Shines, with the goal of killing Mario and using the Frozen Sun to destroy every universe. One of people he wanted to recruit for his team was Dimentio, so he rescued Dimentio from the Underwhere. However, Dimentio declined the offer due to believing that the Darkness of Evil's plans would fail, a prediction that angered The Darkness of Evil. After they went their separate ways, The Darkness of Evil eventually met Nazo and Mephiles and recruited them to the Organization, along with tasking them to recruit more members.
Appearance
The Darkness of Evil usually appears as a silhouette, with only his eyes showing. However, his true appearance greatly resembles Mario's, though with many differences. He has gray skin, light gray eyes with red irises, and dark red hair. He wears a black long-sleeved shirt, a black hat with an "M" in a light gray circle, light gray gloves, navy blue overalls with light gray buttons, and black shoes.
Personality
The Darkness thinks of himself as a superior being. He treats Nazo and Mephiles with little respect, along with the rest of Organization, though he seems to only respect Dark Sonic. He greatly hates Mario due to Mario having a pure heart, thus having no darkness within him. His hatred towards Mario has caused him to refuse calling Mario by his name; instead, The Darkness always refers to Mario by personal pronouns, such as "Him".
