Darko is an evil YouTuber alter ego belonging to Dawko, he first appeared in "a message to Scott Cawthon :)" (AMTSC) which was uploaded on May 10th in 2018, this date being adopted as Darko's birthday in the community. He appeared again in "51/20 Mode?..." and didn't make another appearance until five years later in 2023 when Dawko took part in a Tik Tok trend which was also uploaded to YouTube however it is unknown whether or not this is truly Darko...
There isn't a whole lot of canon lore to the character but he is a violent individual, having kidnapped Dawko's friends, murdered one of them, and nearly killed another as well. Outside of Dawko's channel, it was heavily implied that he represents/is related to Nightmarionne from FNAF 4, this assumption primarily based on this reply to fanart in the image below.

In my opinion, I don't think this is the only thing that makes him related to Nightmarionne! In AMTSC, his eyes glow a very light purple -almost white- color much like Nightmarionne's white eyes. Also the FNAF gang masks which the original Marionette is known for putting onto the victims of William Afton make me think they're related as well; it's just a cool somewhat canon mixed with headcanons thing.
Although he isn't very popular -and is usually mistakened for Dawktrap (Dawko's channel mascot)- he is a beloved character in the small part of the community that knows him and has been mentioned/referenced by Dawko quite a bit in recent times. Personally, I have about 520 headcanons for Darko but for the time being they're sealed away.
