Slark Lore & Background Story
Slark escaped from Dark Reef prison, the most secure underwater dungeon in existence. He survived by stealing the strength of his captors one cut at a time. Now free, he trusts no one and hides in shadows between kills — a predator forged by captivity into something worse than what was locked away. Slardar hunts him still, the Slithereen guardian whose duty demands that no prisoner of Dark Reef remain free — a pursuit that will end only when one of them does.
