"It sorrows me that you haven't yet found the true path, Frisk... why fight for those who'd betray you anyways? I know the truth. It's pointless fighting for what you call your friends. It has practical use fighting for the Ensemble, on the other hand..."

Summary
Jaris, the Dark Knight, is the main antagonist of Duatale. Jaris is a mysterious entity from the past that takes the appearance of an entity with endoskeletal body armor with an knight armor overlay and helmet, an useen face with purple eyes being all that fills up the blackness. He is the leader of a mysterious sect named the Ensemble, a cult which sees him as their messiah, and is bent on collecting one of each SOUL type to grow in power and ultimately conquer the world.

Jaris seemingly existed before Humans and Monsters did and is such technically neither species, having lived thousands of years before them. There were others of his kind, but they all disappeared without a trace, with exceptions, for unknown reasons. At some point in his life, Jaris founded the Ensemble, brainwashing many people into joining, overloading them with propaganda and tricking them into believing he was the one that created the world, and that only by worshipping him and meeting his demands, they would re-incarnate, otherwise their life cycle would be indefinitely suspended.

Jaris is corrupt and thinks of himself as the leader the world never had, and as such seeks to conquer it. In order to do so, however, he - as encrypted in an ancient temple - shall collect one SOUL of each type to grow stronger and subjugate and dominate everyone around him. In 2018, Jaris was still attempting to find all eight of these SOULs, having been highly unsuccesfull. This is when he met Frisk and his friends in New Home.

Jaris initially posed as a friendly person, pretending to support them. He later reveals his true colours when he catches Frisk by surprise and rips his SOUL out. Unfortunately for Jaris, Frisk's friends recovered his SOUL and revived him. This led to Frisk and co. becoming prime targets in the Ensemble, where the members were indoctrinated into believing that they were demonic entities (using Chara's time as a demon as an "example") so that his followers would be bent on elimnating them.

Jaris initially takes it relatively careful over the course of the series, sending his minions to do the job, most commonly Megeyes, his right-hand assistant. Later, Jaris stepped in to fight for himself and started doing so more and more frequently over time. His attempts to expand his cult and to-be empire are still ongoing.
