Very little is known of the origins of Dark Devil, save the fact he was around a very long time. One of England's most infamous brigands, Dark Devil was loved, feared, respected and has verily become a legend. One of the first criminal enterprises he developed was the Hell's Masters. This group of cut-throats and robbers harried and had on edge the early towns and settlements of England. Some of the more brazen acts done under Dark Devil's leadership were kidnappings, a murder attempt upon HRH King Longjohnsilver and an attempt on the life of Princess Regent Nordicnorn.
