** The Progenitor of Dark Ages never caused Emperor Evulz or any other villain to cause their actions... but when they do, he hides close by, taking notes of their actions, abilities, and success rates. Like he wants to recruit them for something... or someone.

* '''Straight''': In ''JustForFun/TalesOfTroperia'' DLC ''The Dark Ages of Troperia'', [[BigBad Emperor Evulz]] [[TheEmpire and his evil empire]] [[CrapsackWorld are making things miserable for everyone]] and is the obvious enemy for [[BarbarianHero Ace Braveheart]] to fight. However the Progenitor of Dark Ages, is the GodOfEvil he worships and the one who gives Evulz the power to rule, while having no direct influence on the empire.

** The Progenitor is a SealedEvilInACan; Evulz’s goal is to release it and use it’s power to conquer the rest of the world. Or it’s dead and Evulz plots to resurrect it for the same purpose. Either way, this [[EvilIsNotAToy will likely backfire]] (or [[HijackingCthulhu not]]).
** Even evil intentions can have a few unplanned side effects. The Progenitor of Dark Ages had no way of knowing that it’s actions would indirectly influence those of Evulz.

** The Progenitor was actually there all along- as the Emperor's EvilChancellor, manipulating him into restoring it’s power so it could then [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness dump him]].

** As it turns out, the Progenitor IS responsible for Emperor Evulz being what he is...but it was an accident. The Progenitor accidentally turned Evulz evil, yes, but it was never evil to begin with. The Progenitor did something horrific that accidentally turned Evulz evil(like accidentally giving Evulz a potion that turns people evil, for example), so while it IS responsible for making Evulz what he is today, it’s more of an UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom than an actual greater scope villain.
** As it turns out, the Progenitor [[GoodAllAlong was never evil to begin with]]...people just mistook it for a villain. In fact, it was actually trying to help the world, not destroy it, but Emperor Evulz tricked the Progenitor into giving him immense power. The Progenitor is actually TheAtoner and wants to help the heroes stop Evulz, thus becoming a BigGood or even a GreaterScopeParagon.

* '''Exaggerated''': The Progenitor of Dark Ages is [[EldritchAbomination an incomprehensible, immortal and nigh-omnipotent primordial entity]] lurking in the void between galaxies, who's theorized to be the origin of all the evil in the entire multiverse. Very little is known of the Progenitor, but we eventually find out that Evulz' StartOfDarkness was triggered after he found out about the existence of this thing, something that shattered his very mind and turned him into the heartless monster that he is today, despite not having established any direct contact with it at any point of his life. Put bluntly, ''[[GoMadFromTheRevelation the simple knowledge that the creature existed was enough to corrupt him]]''.
