Alternative Names
"...His true name is...even if I recalled it fully...probably not wise to speak. Especially here--names have an indelible power, as I am sure you know well enough. Even in ancient literature, he was feared enough that he is usually referred to simply by an epithet. The most common are "the Fallen One", referencing that he was laid low by Lord Yggdrasil and cast out of rulership, and "the Great Destroyer", which...well...is self-evident...but in the earliest texts, he has two more prevalent names. "The Architect" and "the Father of Machines"."

- ^ "The Great Destroyer, unlike the Analog..."Devil"...has always been associated with Lord Yggdrasil as an equal, and it was not necessarily because he was considered evil that he was struck down...According to the eldest, eldest fragments, you see, he and Lord Yggdrasil quarreled over what the shape of the world should be, and that battle ended in Yggdrasil's victory, which has repeated over time. ...He desired, as best I can translate, that the "shape of the world and its life" be "perfect". Yggdrasil did not."
--Nyarlathmon ("Dark Legacy! Secrets of the Lost Dragons!")
- ^ Yes. At the end of the Chosen War, Ragnarok, as impossible as it might be to believe...surrendered. As we began to defeat or turn his Chosen, even he came to the conclusion that perhaps his Great Design wasn't as perfect as he'd thought. He allowed himself to be sealed in the Dark Area...so that he could consider the events of the War. But the Chosen whom we fought on Walpurgis Night wasn't content with that. He killed all but two of his surviving fellows, and harvested their Light. Tainted it with the darkness in his own heart...and used it to pull Ragnarok through the barrier between our worlds, destroying himself in the process. It was that Ragnarok that we fought...Driven mad by his own Chosen's actions, and being forced into our world... It was that vast form that I forced into the Sea, to disintegrate within the realms of possibility. It was to prevent that from destroying everything...that a life had to be given up. And I chose my own."

- ^ "Nyarlathmon-sama... this eye mark that keeps coming up. Even when not involved in the Crest of the Fallen... it's related to... this... Destroyer...?"
"Yes. It's referenced as the "Panopticon", and apparently symbolized that he watched over the entire Digital World...though in a different respect before and after he became the Fallen One, naturally."
--Auren and Nyarlathmon ("Dark Legacy! Secrets of the Lost Dragons!")
- ^ "The Crest of the Fallen is not a symbol of an idea. It's a religious icon. It symbolizes... ...it symbolizes a god."
