While a spirit being, he was able to project his wrath through his hosts, drawing upon their darkest emotions so as to amplify them and use them toward his own ends.Īs the story begins, Calasmos' spirit is first seen walking around Dundrasil as an ethereal being with a red glow. He is depicted throughout the story as a being of extreme malevolence who will stop at nothing to bring about the total destruction of Erdrea and all life on it. Little is known of Calasmos' personality. However, when reunited with his body, he has giant green armour, a face resembling an evil Watcher covered by a mask, and black aura. Throughout the game, he is usually seen as a black Tockle, and only seen by the Luminary. Unbeknownst to anyone, his spirit had however survived in the form of a Darkling and he began wandering Erdrea biding his time until he could once again rise to power.

His prison, which resembled a glowing orb observable from land in all Erdrea, later became known as Erdwin's Lantern. Without the Luminary, the Dark One could not be destroyed so, as per Elder Eegoltap's suggestion, Serenica, Drustan, and The Watchers sealed his body and sent it to the heavens.

Unfortunately, just as Erdwin was about to deliver the final blow, he was betrayed and killed by his brainwashed partner, the mage Morcant, who proceeded to take Calasmos's power and become the demon sorcerer Mordegon. The ancient evil that once attempted to cover the world of Erdrea in darkness after defeating Yggdragon, the Dark One fought against the original Luminary, Erdwin, and his allies and was defeated.
