Nychta, the Dark Ego
The Dark Ego, a soul from the Crypt born 14 billion years ago as a warrior named Aegon who tried to destroy the Crypt before anyone would. He destroyed the threats of Terraria in any way possible, only to come to a bitter end once fighting Yasu, the Cryptkeeper. Struggling to fight off the beast, he failed to dissect the beast in half and died as a result. As Aegon's corpse evaporated into the darkness, his soul blackened and now became a part of the Cryptic souls that roam the Crypt forever.

Crypt
During the start of Terraria, one black stone formed in an area. This was the land of sins. How much sins were made would cause the stone to spread across the land. Due to the rotting landscape, tenebrous spirits of the night keep this land as their dwelling.

It was a mystery to how this formed in the first place, or why does it spread so easily. It's toxicity is unbearable. What has caused one human to a colony of people, the Crypt grows intensely and voraciously until it has possessed the entire planet. The crypt was an endless hell that would eventually pollute the land and eventually create the end of humanity.

It was to be proven that the Crypt could be stopped once and for all by a brave warrior known as Pollemistia. She went into the land filled with overcast monstrosity. She came out heavily bruised, but alas, she tore out the heart of the Crypt, and because of the transplant, the darkness from the Crypt vanished without a trace.

She destroyed the Heart in order to stop the Crypt from possessing the land again. However, she can do nothing if she were to stop it permanently. It is stated in her journal "For murkiness to take possession once again, a lost vessel that used to roam the dusk is able to invoke the darkness once again, only during it's fall."

Palianthropos
Palianthropos is an immortal demon which invoked the inner darkness of the Clothier and caused the birth of Skeletron. His search of torture was endless.

Once, he found a brave, yet kind warrior who was also known to be a Clothier. Over years, Palianthropos grew interest of this warrior. He kept sight of his every victim, his every acts, even his every destination. One day, the warrior, armored and vigorous went onto his journey to hell in order to hunt for an ancient core of the inner earth. Just as he was searching the obsidian towers, he gained sight of the ungodly demon. With hope and bravery, he began to fight the demon, and won. Naive of his immortal power, he left the boiling depths of the Earth.

After Palianthropos' revival, he grew anger towards the warrior. Another day, the warrior set foot towards an empty dungeon. Palianthropos appeared again, and this time possessed the warrior. He stole everything from him. His vigor, his youth, his strength, even his life. Using the demon's own voodoo dolls, he forced the Clothier to bring humans and trap them in the dungeon. The warrior did as he pleased, and took fathers, workers, even children and trapped them in the dungeon. After the gathering, Palianthropos kept guard of intruders who leave or enter the dungeon. If so, they would be killed.
