Lord Darigan
Lord Darigan was the beloved ruler of the Darigan Citadel, and the kingdom he ruled remained peaceful for many years. When King Skarl, corrupted with greed and holding great power with the Meridellian Army, captured the orb that had kept the peace and stabability in his kingdom. Since they knew no war and were peaceful, the orb was taken without any resistance. After this, the land that was his kingdom was ripped from the ground and began to fly over Meridell, as a plague became epidemic over the Darigan Citadel and transformed its inhabitants to look different than others, with a new appearence that now can only be made with the Darigan Paintbrush. Lord Darigan became obssessed with retreiving the orb for his people, and raised a large army, with one of the main commanders being General Kass. The army marched forth into what would be the First Meridell-Darigan War.
The Darigan Citadel was victorious and Meridell was sacked, as the orb and The Three corrupted Lord Darigan and drove him to insanity. He wished to destroy all of Neopia, and would have, until a great uprising of some of his servants and Meridellians over-came the transformed and all-powerful Lord Darigan. He disappeared and lost his grasp on his own being, becoming animalistic, until compassion from a Meridellian girl allowed him to recover himself from being The Bat-Thing and reclaiming his being as Lord Darigan, rising up to fight the new king of the Darigan Citadel, Lord Kass, Lord Darigan's former subordinate and follower. After fighting, Lord Kass disappeared mysteriously, and Lord Darigan reclaimed his leadership and established a truce with Meridell, which will last 1,000 years.
