Darkly is a Twilighter who is found in east Rogueport, behind the fake wall to the left of Merlon's house. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Mario and his party try to enter Twilight Town, but the Warp Pipe rejects them. Professor Frankly then tells Mario to find Darkly, who tells them that they need to have a piece of clothing with their names on it to enter the town, so he writes their names on their clothing to help them through. Darkly states that he would like to visit Twilight Town but does not want to get in the sun, so he just stays where he is.
When Mario learns that Darkly is Mayor Dour's grandson, he tries to tell Darkly about the curse that turned Dour into a pig, but Darkly does not believe him.
Tattle
