DARKSEED
Like all other warriors Darkseeds beggining were humble. Born to the warrior Gotaru, he was named Meta during his mortal life. He trained under many martial arts masters including Goken, Rockagrande and Torrag. Torrag his final master had the most impact on young Meta. Meta, seperated from his father grew to view Torrag as his real guardian. Meta seperated himself from his father and fought alongside Torrag. At the annual martial arts tournament on Extasia, Meta was horrified to see his master kill himself in the fury of defeat. Meta didn't understand until that night when Torrag visited him. Torrag had not killed himself but instead had joined with Skull Sabeh. Torrag told how he was going to kill Gotaru, his father in his sleep. Meta feeling a sense of abandonment from his father and growing evermore closer to Torrag joined with him and tooke the mark of Skull Sabeh on his forehead. That night Torrag attacked Gotaru but greatly mis-judged his power and was destroyed. Meta hurt that his father had killed his mentor and true friend festered a hatred that would bring about his downfall to darkness. Meta Joined with Skull Sabeh and worked to bring the slum warriors to his lair in a trap. 10 years passed and no one had seen Meta until the slum warriors re-united and went to Skull Sabehs lair. After fighting through Skull Sabehs defenses the warriors reached the main chamber and faced Skull Sabeh. Meta used his power to force Shendragon jr. into a machine that would take the life and power from Shendragon jr. and give it to Skull Sabeh making him young and powerful once again. The slum warriors realized his betrayl now and watched as he further argued with Skull Sabeh for more promised power. Skull Sabeh blasted Meta and forced him into the machine as well. The slum warriors watched as Meta's body and lifeforce were drained into Skull Sabeh....

Meta awoke in a dark place, chained to a wall. His body was drenched in sweat and his head pounded. He was sent to the sphere of punishment along with Skull Sabeh and all his servants. They were to be punished for eternity for failing to take over the Slums for the Dark Lord. Meta's body was sliced open and filled with seeds from a dark tree that grew in the under realm that sucked the life from everything. Meta felt the roots slowly grow through his body in an agonizing painful experience. He wished he would die. The seeds caused him to go mad. The seeds did not drain his power like the punisher thought it would. Instead the seeds gave him power and reshaped his body. Meta's power grew and grew until one day he fought back. He tore the chains from the walls of the underealm and killed the Punisher, the man who tortured everyone in the punishment sphere. He freed several trapped demons and with his army of demons behind him broke his way through the punishment sphere. He discovered an old allie however, one he thought he would never see again. Torrag was chained to a wall, now a sickly rotting corpse of a man. Meta grabbed him and with his army of demons broke out of dark realm. Once Meta broke free he renounced his mortal name and took on one based upon the seeds that had given him hius new power. He named himself Darkseed, one which became feared and well known. To this day demons can still feel and sense the power of Darkseed, he is feared and respected in the underealm by many demons.

Now the mad creature darkseed used his powers to drain the life energy from planet to planet so he could restore power to his former master Torrag. Torrag convinced Darkseed that they needed to wreck revenge on the warriors of the past and their children. Darkseed destroyed the light tree of sages and used his evil seeds to plant a tree that absorbed much of the life from Dante, making it a dark and gloomy place. No one could stand against Darkseed and all the slum warriors of the past and present were destroyed save for two elemental fighter both with the power of ice. Zeph and Frost once enemies brought together through war faced Darkseed. they discovered he was work under Torrag who had grown supremely powerful through the power Dakrseed had absorbed. Zeph destroyed Darkseed but at the cost of his life. His stbbed him with the Shendragon sword which melted through his dark exterior and caused hims to fall. It was then up to Frost to face Torrag. Torrag and Frost fought on until finally with a final blast and by throwing the Shendragon sword into Torrag, the battle ended. Frost was fatally wounded however the multiverse was once again saved, and Darkseed was believed to never be heard from again...

The cold remains of Darkseed were left undisturbed on the snowy moutaincaps of DanteIV and forgotten, until one day a gray haired warrior came across the ancient castle of Torrag and discovered them. Zenoro recognized the warrior of old. He had often wished to find this creature of pure Darkness, a creature who had come from someone so good and turned into something so evil. Zenoro took the remains with him to his base. They were studied and the body of Darkseed was infused with the elemental Death stone. The stone restored darkseeds power and his body regenerated. Once reborn he was obliged to served Zenoro because of the control of the stoen he had. Darkseed can teleport between worlds and dimensions by creating portals and rules the demon army which is rarely called upon because of their sick and gruesome tactics. Now with his death power magnified by the death stone Darkseed is now a more dangerous opponent than ever before. His motives still he is worshipped and praised by the demons of the underealm which he frequently visits searching for his old master...
