Mysterious Stranger

"Of all the Old Ones to still roam our world, very few remain in prominence. They have bided their time, awaiting the day they reclaim their world with unlimited patience. Many of Them can no longer inhabit this world in corporeal form; some were reduced to a state that is less than spirit - less than the meanest ghost. But the world has not forgotten Them. They helped forge this world, and the mark They left will never be erased. Not even time knows when They will rise again. But when They do...the most fearsome one of all will herald their return. One who has already threatened to blot out the light of this world. A stranger to our realm, eternally mysterious. And nothing will stand in Their way."

Character Synopsis
The Mysterious Stranger is an ancient being who exists in a number of Lore's timelines, being a manifestation of a primordial being from the plane of darkness. In AdventureQuest Worlds, he was unable to appear on Lore and directly intervene until the return of the Queen of Monsters shattered the barrier preventing his return. As stated by Voltaire from the Necronomicon, he is "...Darkness. And Doom. Everything else written about him is untranslatable".The book tells of a mysterious stranger; a being able to manipulate the shadows.
