The Dark King (冥黒王, Meikokuō)[1] is a creature who was sealed behind the Door of Darkness and the final antagonist of Kamen Rider Gotchard: The Future Daybreak.
History
Background
In the early days of alchemy, three alchemists who were originally human, abandoned their humanity using the power of Philosopher's Stone and became an entity known as Dark King. Three of them were Germain, who specialised in alchemy, Gaelijah, who specialised in astrology, and Gigist, who created the first Chemies known as Gaiard and Dragonalos and specialised in theurgy. Later on, Dark King created and enslaved Glion.
120 years ago, Dark King were sealed behind the Door of Darkness by Alchemist of the Daybreak, and Glion joined the Alchemys Union to continue his research.
Unsealed
In an alternate timeline, Glion successfully opened the Door of Darkness and he was released which the latter stabbed Rinne and gave his power to him. Unbeknownst to everyone, including Glion himself, Dark King actually absorbed Glion and manipulated him for the next 20 years. Upon Glion being defeated as Kamen Rider Dorado, Dark King showed up and surprised both Gotchards and Majade and revealed Glion's nature as a homunculus, before revealing his giant body to the Riders, all along attempting to kill them.
After a fierce battle against the Riders, Dark King was eventually defeated, but his vengeful wraith remained and he decided to erase the Kamen Riders before they even existed by traveling to the past. Though he was engaged in an epic battle against Gotchard Daybreak, he was ultimately defeated, as told into "The Great Path of Alchemy", thus being sealed again.
