Dark Lord Gaol (ダークロードガオル Daaku Roodo Gaoru, known in Japan as "Demon King Gainas" 魔王ガイナス Maou Gainasu) is a brand new antagonist introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. Initially believed to be a man under the armor, Gaol is revealed to actually be female early in the game, although her true origins are currently unknown. She appears to be a dark, knight-like character that speaks in an evil and distorted voice and serves as the boss of Magna and the Dark Lord. It is shown that Gaol lives in a dreary castle, and that she possibly serves as another rival towards Palutena, as well as Magna who has apparently had past encounters with her. Upon meeting Pit for the first time, Gaol doesn't appear intimidated by him at all, referring to him as "Palutena's little messenger boy."
