I heard something about so called "Dark" Awakened. Now, not that I'm an expert in theses things or anything, but aren't that a bit contradictory to what an Awakened really is? I seem to remember something that an Awakened is, in essence, his dark sides and his light sides combined. Therefore there is no difference between an Awakened that has woken up by the dark or the light path, or is there? Of course, the Awakened only knows of "their" path to waken. Awakened are, in my opinion, so far from "normal" mankind that it is useless to label them "good" or "evil". However, an Awakened who has awakened by the dark path and who wishes to awaken the rest of mankind would use pretty brutal methods, but such an entity is described in Legions of Darkness (dunno her name, but she was described in the third book in the Swedish version).

I use and converted Dark figures from fiction to Kult. Why? Seems that in a lot of books and movies, there are plenty of humans, very powerful and evil, and if they are in Kult, they should be something like an Awakened being. But, instead of follow a neutral behavior (they became awakened because they have a extremely high mental balance, and his shadow part of soul, blends with his light side) they are pure evil, they want to destroy and consume the world, each one in his way, and, differently from the normal awakened being, they came to awaken with a extremely low mental balance, where the light and shadow parts of his soul still fight, but the shadow part, really overcame, and obliterated the light. Until now, in my opinion, I identify some of these figures, and actually, converted them to Kult. Tthey are: Mamouliam, from Clive Barker, The Damnation Game; Nix, from Clive Barker, Lord of Illusions; Bryan Drackman, from Dean R. Koontz, Dragon Tears; Lucas Buck (will be in my home page, until the end of week), from the tv series, American Gothic; And finally, Kissoon, from both Clive Barker books, The Great and Secret Show, and Everville. They are just few you can find in literature, or cinema, and they fill a gap in Kult.

P.S.: The name of the entity you are referring, is Apollyon, but she is a true awakened, she WANT'S TO FREE MANKIND, and most Dark Awakened, would just destroy the world to do that, or plan to take the place of God (Drakman and Nix are probably the best examples).
