| ==General information==

| ===Physical appearance===
| |
| The Dark Prince is depiced as a young, slender man with dark gray skin, long ashy blond hair, protuding horns on both sides of his temples, pointy ears, and yellow eyes. He wears a open black jacket decorated with elaborate silver patterns with a wide collar and shoulder pads with yellow fringes. He dawns a tiny vest beneath his jacket, only covering his stomach. His chest is protected by a large metal ornament holded by chains on both sides. He also wears a wide leather belt made with large triangular pieces sewn together. His legs are covered with thigh-high metal greaves. He back is covered with a long dark crimson cape with yellow fringes.

| ===Personality===
| |
| The Dark Prince has been the recipient of abuse for most of his childhood, being rejected by his royal parents and all of his subjects. This trauma built years of resentment and hatred against his people and humanity as a hole, as he slowly became consumed by the powers of Mavolia. He retaliated by commiting murder on his mentor and parents, eventually leading to destroying his own country. Even when reanimated by Belladonna and Malocchio, his Dark Majesty was dead set on merging the world of Mavolia and Fa'Diel and become their supreme leader, hinting at some god-like complex. Because of his heart closed to any form of affection, he doesn't seem to reciprocate the love and admiration Belladonna displays to him, and even seems to despise it. Like the other villains of ''Trials of Mana'', he shares their power-hungry, cunning nature, and single-minded attitute.

| | |
| The Dark Prince is able to communicate with his trusty subjects even in death transfer some of its powers to them, just like he did to Belladonna and possibly Malocchio. After gaining the essence of the holy sword and the combined powers of the Benevodons, he is granted enormous might, enough to destroy the Goddess of Mana. He is also proficient in a vast array of magic, as shown during the final battle.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| * Although Belladonna is strongly implied to have romantic feelings for the Dark Majesty, he doesn't care about her and when he finds that she was killed, he dismisses her as a "worthless pawn."
| |
| * Unlike the other villains, the Dark Majesty is met after the game's penultimate boss fight, as opposed to before.
| |
| * His Japanese name actually means Dark Lord, though since he is referred to as the heir of his kingdom it was assumed by the fan translation that he was a prince and not an ascendant king.
| |
| * Dark Majesty bears some similarities to Dawn of Mana villain Stroud, and Final Fantasy Adventure/Sword of Mana/Adventures of Mana villain Dark Lord. However they are distinct characters from him due the anthology nature of the series.
| |
| * His true form in the 3D remake appears to have tree-like elements incorporated into its design. Whether these are naturally part of his true form, or a side-effect of him having absorbed the Sword of Mana is unclear.
