The Dark Sovereign

== Description: ==
Entity 297, AKA The Dark Sovereign (or simply the Sovereign) is a large, mysterious entity that is rarely seen by wanderers. Despite this, the few known encounters with him have yielded vital information for this entry.
The Sovereign stands at 12', and is made of black onyx crystals which absorb certain levels of light and do not reflect any imagery. A suit of armor fashioned from an unknown metal adorns his body, and is upkept to perfect condition. A large cape with unrecognizable markings flows across his back, dragging slightly on the ground behind him. He carries a greatsword, also made of black onyx, which he uses to execute hostile beings should he come to that decision. A crown with four differently colored crystals floats above his head.
== Behaviors: ==
The Sovereign is naturally benevolent, with a welcoming and forthcoming demeanor to most wanderers who encounter him. He will ask how their days are, if they are in good health, if they need help, and in desperate situations will even protect wanderers from hostile forces. According to him, he sees humans as "interesting," and has encountered "few who I have gotten close to. I wish to protect them."
However, the Sovereign's demeanor will shift when treated with disrespect or hostility by wanderers. Exceptions would be for those who are simply panicked, but if one attacks the Sovereign deliberately, he will retaliate. Conventional weaponry and firearms do not harm the Sovereign, only causing minor cracks where contact was made, and the injuries are healed upon the next encounter. His sword will cut through almost all materials, and he will not stop attacking until the wanderer has fled or been sufficiently terminated.
== Biology: ==
As stated prior, the Dark Sovereign stands at 15', taking into account his horns and crown which are part of his body. His entire body is presumed to be made of the black onyx material, though it is not possible to know for certain what is underneath his armor. His hands are considered to be much more dangerous than his sword, as his mere touch can turn all to black crystal. The Sovereign claims this to be his "curse", but has not elaborated much beyond that. Further research is required to yield a conclusive explanation. 
The Sovereign does not require food or water for sustenance, but has the ability to consume and drink should he desire to. Although he does not posses a mouth by default, he can form one. His face will crack and snap into a sharp, spiked mouth, with a thin and sharp tongue to compliment it. When he chooses, his mouth will close and return to normal, with no signs of cracks.
== Discovery: ==
The Sovereign was first discovered by a wanderer from the K4, who was helping others escape Level 477. The operative approached the Sovereign and asked what he was, to which the Sovereign responded kindly and explained his existence. The operative marked down this information to relay back to their commanders, where the documents were shared to the public.
Another encounter occurred one month later, in which a wanderer from the Anti-Entity Group spotted the Sovereign and attempted to terminate it. One week later, other members from the A.E.G. discovered the remains of the aforementioned wanderer. The link was tied to the Sovereign through the clean cuts on the victim's torso, and black crystals on the walls that the Sovereign touched.
== Relations: ==
The Sovereign is known to have certain opinions and dispositions towards certain other entities in The Backrooms. Those on this list, he claims to have known "from the very beginning":
Hubris: The Sovereign appears to have despised Hubris for a long time, and is willing to do whatever he can to end his life.
King of Normality: The Sovereign is sympathetic to the King, a peaceful entity who wished to live an ordinary life.
Jester: The Sovereign does not respect this being. He sees the Jester as someone who takes advantage of others and causes ruckus for the fun of it, though he stays optimistic that Jester's intentions are pure deep down.
The Crimson Wanderer: The Sovereign holds the Crimson Wanderer to high regard, admiring his dedication to protecting wanderers and killing entities that dare to harm them.
The Keymaster: The Sovereign has great respect for the Keymaster, though believes he could benefit from an adjustment of attitude. They are known to talk with each-other on occasion.
