### Quote

"We are only stardust."

“*So these are the champions you've gathered to try and stop me? They're nothing but pathetic children. The whining child king. In over his head and he knows it. The Moonshadow assassin who...Can this be right? Isn't capable of killing. The failed son, whose father wishes he had never been born. And my favorite, the human mage, already tainted by darkness and destined to play right into my hands. Oh, my time has come. My return to this world is inevitable!*”
―Aaravos taunts the heroes whilst possessing Callum

**Aaravos** is one of the main antagonists of the Netflix TV series, *The Dragon Prince* series, serving as the overarching antagonist of "The Dragon King" arc and the titular main antagonist of "The Secrets of Aaravos" saga. He seeks to break free from his prison, using several pawns to achieve his freedom. He starts an alliance with Viren and seeks to kill Azymondias by any means necessary and using Viren's daughter, Claudia to ensure his return.

## History

### Background

Aaravos' history is mostly shrouded in mystery. He was one of the original Startouched Elves who was cast out of heaven and banished to the Earth. This led to the destruction of mountains and the creation of a new sea. He later turned his attention to humans, hoping to use them to destroy the arrogance of the other Startouch Elves. He killed the Queen of the Dragons, Luna Tenebris, and later the Elven Queen Aditi so he could prevent peace, starting the conflict between elves, humans, and dragons.

Aaravos later started manipulating the world's most powerful people with strong minds and giving them the key to the mysteries of the universe. He eventually mastered all six Primal Sources and became an Archmage and came across a cube that could tell the Primal Source just by pointing at it in the right direction. However, the elf's treachery was exposed by The Orphan Queen, a young human girl who revealed this to the elves and Dragons. He was eventually imprisoned in a small pearl by the High Mage, Akiyu, and The Jailer, and the secret of Aaravos' prison was known only by the two Elves. Due to his cruelty and unpredictable nature, any text mentioning Aaravos was immediately erased and anyone who tried reading about him would blur the pages out. Avizandum, the leader of the dragons, kept a looking glass in his lair, going to keep watch over Aaravos for decades until his looking glass was stolen by Lord Viren the day he took Zym's egg.

## Powers and abilities

*Only put "Powers and abilities" if the character has both. If they only have one of the following, than just put "Powers" or "Abilities."*

### Powers

* **Immortality**
* **Star /Dark Magic:** Aaravos can cast dark magical spells. However, due to being cast out of the heavens, Aaravos only has access to a fraction of his powers.
	+ **Possession:** Aaravos can possess anyone who has been tainted by dark magic, like he possessed Callum and Viren.

## Evil Moments

* Orchestrated the conflict between the humans and Xadians by giving the humans dark magic. It is also highly speculated that he had something to do with Queen Luna Tenebris' mysterious death and Queen Aditi's demise, causing the conflict between the Elves, the dragons, and the humans. This left to people sharing a split view of Aaravos, as either a gifter or deceiver.
* Plotting to overthrow the other Startouch Elves for banishing him from Xadia (apparently)
* He is also the ambiguous narrator at the beginning of seasons 1 and 3, who claims humans discovered dark magic and destroyed the Dragon Prince in order to mislead the viewers.
	+ In due time it would be revealed that the Prince's egg was actually stolen by Lord Viren so he can use it for his own dark magic purposes.
	+ In Season 4, it would later be revealed that it was actually Aaravos who gave humanity dark magic.
* Deceived elves, Dragons, and humans for centuries before he was imprisoned in a pearl and hidden at the bottom of the ocean. However, his treachery was exposed by a young human girl, the Orphan Queen. She later took his Key, which was passed down in her family for generations. It eventually fell into the hands of The Orphan Queen's descendant Harrow, who entrusted it to his Adoptive son, Callum
* He "consumed" the previous Queen of the Sunfire Elves.
* Aided Lord Viren in his plans to conquer Xadia.
* Possessed Prince Callum and taunted the heroes from inside.
	+ He called Ezran "a winey child King" in over his head and he already knows it.
	+ Sees Rayla as the Moonshadow Assassin who is incapable of killing.
	+ Referred to Soren as Viren's failed son whose father wished was never born.
	+ Calls Callum the human mage already tainted by darkness.
* He also implies that Callum is destined to "play by his hand" in the future. This moment was so terrifying for Callum, even driven to the point where he asked Rayla to kill him if Aaravos ever controlled him again. He was mostly afraid that Aaravos wouldn't hurt him but may make him hurt his friends and family.
* Manipulated Claudia into helping him escape so he could make his resurrection permanent.
* He tried to get Lord Viren to kill their son the Being, and make his resurrection spell permanent.

## Trivia

* There was a popular theory that Aaravos was Callum's biological father or at least a distant ancestors. However, it was debunked in an interview because Callum's father was human.
* According to Aaran Eshaz, Aaravos is "disliked" not hated and that everything is going according to Aaravos' plans. He also states that Aaravos never lies, but the narration proves otherwise.

## Similar Characters

* Just like Prometheus stealing fire from Mount Olympus and gifting it to humanity, Aaravos granted humanity the gift and knowledge of dark magic.
* However, to the citizens of Xadia, Aaravos is a "Fallen" Startouched Elf from the Heavens, like Lucifer is the fallen angel.
* Like Sauron is a Fallen Maiar, Aarovas is a Fallen Startouched Elf. Both were a deceiver of the people (such as the dragons for Aaravos and the free people of Middle-earth) and master manipulator before being exposed.
