Dark Lord is a subcategory of a Tyrant. A Dark Lord (also Dark Ladies on female) is a near-omnipotent villain in his realm who seeks to rule over anyone who looks upon him. They are often depicted as demonic powers, and since they often represent evil itself, they may actually be powers greater than individuals. The consequences of their rule are often harmful to the land and its subjects. In addition to their usual magical abilities, they often lead large armies.
