You Can’t Trust The Man In Black: The True Enemy Of The Dark Tower
Fundamentally, the Crimson King, a hidden puppeteer, plays the key role in setting the events that propel Roland towards the Dark Tower. This omnipotent entity is the ruler over all the fearsome creatures and antagonists encountered by Roland and his companions throughout the Dark Tower series. Many of these entities bear the Crimson King’s symbol, the ominous crimson eye, as their emblem or rallying cry. As Mike Flanagan prepares to adapt the Dark Tower series for screen, it is more important than ever to grasp who the Crimson King is and why he plays such a pivotal role in Roland’s journey – the lone gunslinger – as he embarks on his quest.
