Darkheart

Description
Darkheart is one of the main antagonists of White Pearl.

Tasked with destroying the world by Magtek, he follows his duty willingly under the presence of his master - but when left to his own devices, he frequently questions the morality of his actions and wonders whether he has a purpose that his master created him for, similar to Shadow.

Story
Section contains spoilers.

He frequently takes hostage of Elrise multiple times in the story, taking advantage of his Dark Aura in order to to awaken his Aura - an ulterior motive of his master, Magtek. He does this by first teleporting Elrise to Prevesta, his birthplace, in order for him to be reminded of his painful childhood memories where he was bullied, and memories involving his mother dying. This would, in turn, make Elrise's Dark Aura grow more prevalent as he would harbour feelings of revenge, regret and loneliness.

Darkheart also attempted an assassination on Katkin with another unnamed Priori, years before the events of White Pearl, when Katkin was 16. The reason for this is because Katkin is an Elderflower, a woman with a large amount of power, and Magtek ordered him to kill her.

In the Tower of Darkness, the party finally catch up with Darkheart and demand him to give Elrise back. Redlac knew what person he really is, remembering his time back when he was first inaugurated as a Dawntreader by the Light Gods, he was put through a trial, and was faced with a vision of Darkheart, Shadow and A'thir. Redlac shocked Darkheart by telling him that he knows that he's a Priori, and Darkheart began to doubt whether he could live through the encounter knowing the Keeper of the White Pearl and Dawntreader are now against him. Nevertheless, he put up a tough fight, and even through a second, more weakened form - the will to live persisted until the very end. Knowing that Darkheart had such a strong will to live and seek answers for his purpose, even in his highly weakened state, Pearlto had doubts about using the White Pearl to end him. Katkin then slapped Pearlto, told him to 'get to his senses', remarking that Darkheart is not human, has no feelings, and just does what his master tells him to. Knowing this and believing it is the right thing to take Darkheart's life after he killed the lives of so many (including laying ruin to Falcon), Pearlto used the White Pearl to snuff out his existence, with naught but mere ashes and bones being left in their wake.

In Chapter 13-2, the alternative chapter of the game which leads to the alternate ending, in Creation of Souls - the player finds different plaques which explain what each Servant Soul of Magtek are bound to do. In Darkheart's case, he was created 'to lay ruin to the Keeper's most treasured memories and let Dark Aura blossom in those who are vulnerable.'
