Mephiles the Dark is a fictional character and antagonist in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series, first appearing as one of the main antagonists in the 2006 video game. He is the malevolent conscience, mind and will of the sun god Solaris. Mephiles was born during the Solaris Project when the experiments on Solaris split him into Mephiles and Iblis.
