The Dark Lord often seems like the most common villain archetype that many fiction writings use, particularly in fantasy. Your prime examples include Voldemort from Harry Potter and Sauron from Lord of the Rings. Well, now's your chance to create your own Dark Lord. Describe him in detail. Make it like a character sheet. What's their name? What other titles do they usually associate with? What are their powers (if they have any)? What do they look like? What's their origin or is that a big mystery? What makes them so threatening? How much control and power do they have? Are they still around? Let your imagination run with this. Perhaps this will inspire you to write an epic fantasy series of your own.

From my fantasy story where everone's consciousness's are connected and can be travelled through by those called 'travellers' who spend their lives training to do this. There is a parasite that eats away and destroys consciousness and there are a few travellers who convert to a cult that worship these parasites. The Queen is the mother and leader of the parasites.
BACKSTORY:
She was created out of suppression. The things people choose to forget or ignore out of neccesity pool and somehow created the hive. She rules the hive, but is also one with the hive.
APPEARANCE:
She takes on the appearance of your dark side. When you look at her you see yourself but only the parts of yourself you wish didn't exist. A female pronoun is applied to her because almost all of the travellers experienced and talented enough to see her have been female, so they saw themselves.Iinterestingly, one of the few times she was seen as male was by a trans female traveller, who saw themself as male in the Queen.
POWERS:
When in the presence of The Queen, a traveller can experience past traumas, and or come face to face with that which the never want to accept or acknowledge. Travellers come away broken and if they cant bear it, they may never recover. If they are strong enough, however, they may grow and improve.
It is also known that she is the creator of the parasite, which isolates and destroys consciousness's, and can kill inexperienced travellers when encountered.
All else that is known, is that if she, her parasitic offspring, and her misterious cultic following aren't defeated, the world as we know it is in mortal peril.
