Supreme Dark Lord

About
The Supreme Dark Lord (魔人筆頭, majin hittō) is a special position given to Dark Lords who have won the favor of the Demon King. It is considered to be the highest possible honor for a Dark Lord to achieve, and denotes them as being the highest authority in the Monster Realm after the Demon King themself.

Unlike the qualifications needed to be recognized as one of the Four Elite Dark Lords, the title of Supreme Dark Lord is not dependent on strength. Though the Supreme Dark Lord is often among the most powerful of their peers, the position symbolizes the trust and respect that the Demon King places in them more than it does their ability. As such, Kayblis, who has been recognized as the strongest Dark Lord since the GL Era, has never once held the position due to his general lack of popularity. Only one Supreme Dark Lord may exist at a time, though the title can be passed from one Dark Lord to another should the Demon King see it fit to do so.

The rank of Supreme Dark Lord was first implemented by the Demon King Gele as a means of bestowing additional power to the Dark Lord Gi, a powerful and charismatic Dark Lord who had won her affections and became her lover. While Gi eventually turned this trust against Gele in order to seal her away within the depths of her castle and claim the title for himself, he continued to utilize the position of Supreme Dark Lord throughout his reign, bestowing it first to his trusted friend and confidant Ramon C. Burksham before passing it on to his daughter and intended successor Hornet.
