Baron Karl Darx

"Happy Meal toys are the opium of the masses"

- Baron Karl Darx

Baron Karl Darx is a philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, fast food critic, political theorist, baron, journalist, darxist revolutionary and skeleton from the Bone Planet.

Early life
Karl Darx was once a human born with several extra heads attached to his body, which made other kids make fun of him at the Bone Planet Elementary School. After making contact with the planet's minority skeleton population, Darx became convinced that would he become a skeleton, his extra heads would turn into cool as shit decorative skulls. According to historians, this was a formative event that later inspired Darx to declare skeletal forms of life to be superior. Another of his arguments for skeletal supremacy was that skeletons didn't have to wear pants.

Through unknown means, Darx then achieved skeletonhood and began formulating their political theory, which came to be known as darxism.

Political activism
Determined of the fact that a just society could only be achieved through turning everybody into a skeleton, Darx began his career as a skeletalist revolutionary. Their early friend, Boneseph Stalin, apparently thought this meant killing everybody.

Conflict with the Lightstar Empire
After Darx's ideas started gaining traction on the Bone Planet, the Lightstar Empire funded the creation of a children's propaganda TV show to oppose darxism. The cartoon, too scary for its intended audience, only became popular after a highly successful Happy Meal toyline released in collaboration with McDonald's.

During the early years of the conflict, the Empire attempted to assassinate Darx several times; most of these events were filmed and later incorporated into Skeleton Warriors. As Darx's popularity increased among the skeletal populations of the Bone Planet, the Lightstar Empire grew wary of the public outcry the baron's death would cause. An agreement was reached, allowing Darx to not be assassinated as long as they only made a maximum of three revolutionary attempts each month.

Skeletal People's Party for Cultural Skeletalism
In 2425, Darx and other notable skeletal activists formed a party, Skeletal People's Party for Cultural Skeletalism, to more actively combat the oppression of the Lightstar Empire. However, it was soon disbanded, since many notable members (including Darx themself) came to see the concept of parties itself as fatschist.

Despite the party's minimal impact, the Lightstar Empire interpreted its formation as an open act of rebellion and escalated the long-standing conflict between itself and the bonetarians, causing the Skeleton War to begin.
