The main Antagonist of Dark Cloud he is a force to be feared.
Seda was the king, and was waging a terrible war with the west. But he was losing that war, and did not know which way to turn. Then he was approached by a mysterious magician in a cloak, offering him a deal. When witch blood is mixed with human blood, a frightful thing is created. (If you recall, a mixture of witch and human blood was one of the requirements for the dancers in the ceremony to unleash the genie at the beginning of the game.) The wizard suggests that Seda make use of this to defeat the west. In desperation, Seda did so, but as a result, the now evil blood in his veins gave birth to the ultimate destructive power - the Dark Genie. Seda did a great deal of research to find a way to counteract what he had done, and came to learn of the Atlamillia, a stone born from the earth once every eon. Upon discovering that it would be born in 400 years, the time in which this game occurs, Seda used the Forbidden Spell to travel through time, intending to get the Atlamillia. He soon realized, however, that he no longer had the strength necessary to use the Atlamillia and defeat the genie, and rested all his hopes in Toan, whom he believed to be the only one who could destroy the genie.
As you enter the castle, Seda has little time left, because the genie's will is growing stronger, threatening to overcome him completely. He tells Toan that, as the genie is not actually a living being, he cannot be killed, so Toan must travel back through time to erase his origin point. In a last act which demonstrates his strength and will, Seda falls on his own sword, releasing a powerful energy stream which opens the door to the Gallery of Time. His last words are his instructions to Toan to travel through the Gallery of Time, following the fragments of his memories which are scattered there. (You can see as you travel back through time that the carpet becomes less and less deteriorated, so you can have an idea of your passage through time by its condition.)
400 Years Ago: Night of the Incident
As you enter the final floor, you will once again see the fragments of Seda's memory. They are presented in order, and tell you the whole story. Seda's father died, making him king. He met Sophia on the night of his coronation, and immediately fell in love with her. However, he had to devote his time and energy to the war on the west. The war went badly and Seda made the deal which mixed black blood with his own, unleashing great power. His army defeated the west, and he returned home, longing to see Sophia again. He had a joyful reunion with her, only to find "she" was not the real Sophia, but an assassin. The real Sophia appeared just in time to save Seda from the impostor, but was killed herself in the process. This tragic event caused the evil blood in Seda's veins, fueled by his anguish and hatred, to give birth to the terrible Dark Genie. Aghast at what he has brought upon the world, Seda determines to find a way to save them all.
Toan arrives just in time to witness the reunion of Seda and "Sophia," the assassin. He hides behind a pillar, watching the events unfold, until he sees that Seda is about to die. He jumps in to foil the assassin, and Sophia does, too. Sophia dies, leaving Seda in anguish. He turns to look at Toan, and accuses him of being another assassin. Toan denies the charge, but Seda pays no heed. The Dark Genie burst forth from him, and you have no alternative but to fight it.
Within the game a fake genie a mouse who fell within a cauldron, is believed to be the Dark Genie, however the real Genie disposes of the impostor, before possessing one of the key villains in the game, however within the sequel Dark Chronicle or Dark Cloud 2, the fake Dark Genie is the secret last boss of the game, just like the dark knight is of the first Game, after defeating the fake Genie within the sequel, the last of the genies power is destroyed, and the world is at last free of his influence.
