Emperor Arkaneis
Darkas Arkaneis is what's left of the real Donner, after centuries of permanence inside the so-called Shadow Gallery. Due to the huge distortion generated by the explosion of DP-0 in 2014, time in that world proceeds in a non-linear way, compressing and decompressing at random. Therefore, one minute outside the Gallery could last up to a millennium inside, allowing him to roam those wastelands for a vast and still unknown amount of time.
Yet, Arkaneis is not exactly "Donner" anymore, as the Tides which plague the real Earth have mixed him up with several other living beings, including part of the local fauna of tentacle-like creatures. Arkaneis is a whole, a living element of Gaia, as he likes to call the original planet Earth, in continuous connection with its creatures and its environment. When the planet suffers, Arkaneis suffers as well. When a node is struck or killed, every node in the network feels pain.
For humans in the projected reality created by the DP-0 incident, Arkaneis is the source of all evil. For the resident creatures of the Shadow Gallery, though, he's the greatest hero of all times, who single-handedly tried to prevent the extinction of his own world.
What happened after the Second Black Lightning is still unknown, as there are very few witnesses. However, rumor has it that he disappeared without leaving a trace, together with Donner.
Whether he has returned to his world or not, is still an open question that nobody wants to answer.
