INSOLENT FAIRY!
The first villain redesign (aside from the Trix I mean) is Darkar! Changes to his lore and just general existence below:
The Shadow Phoenix was was once a conqueror from Pyros (Argulus, the Valiantix Fairy of War) who waged war against Domino centuries ago for the land and the “Power of the Dragon” (the name given to Dragon Auras at the time, when it was still believed to be an ancient power and not an unusual condition). While he did won over most of the (then way bigger) territory, he was defeated during the Siege of the Black Sun, where the young Queen Daphne I killed him while on dragonride during the last hours of the conflict. However, he was killed while transformed - and that makes things more complicated.
His spirit remained, and after a few months, he tried to cause mayhem and chaos on the capital via a massive firestorm, in a desperate attempt to also kill the young Queen. While he did cause casualties, the Queen (alongside three other magi) found a ritual to seal the spirits away in an enchanted object, binding them to it and making it impossible for them to escape. They succeded, forcing the spirits to fuse into one being and sealing them into the object, which was a Dragonscale with the power of darkness. While some scholars proposed to make an object or weapon with the Scale, as it would now have the powers of darkness and fire (Argulus’s Source), Daphne was not an idiot and decided to go into the farthest depths of the land, burying the Scale into some sort of naturally-formed rock sanctuary and sealing the entrance with a defensive ritual to ensure it doesn’t escape.
Decades later, a researcher ex Paladin by the name of Darek found the dragonscale during his quest for Relix (a planetoid that was sealed away by the Order during the First Age of Magic, as they deemed its high energy dangerous to manipulate), and finding no issue in using a potentially cursed object, he embedded the gem into his armor, unleashing Argulus who promptly possesed him, assimilating his mind. The process was too much for both beings, however, and soon enough Darek’s body wasted away into just his armor, fitting his powers over metal. With the Dragonscale maintaining the form via shadows, Argulus giving the power and Darek a drive arose a new being - Darkar, the Shadow Phoenix.
He soon searched for both powers (Relix and the Dragon), and caused destruction over the worlds. He was defeated by the newly formed Company of Light, and sealed into the depths of Shadowhaunt “for Eternity”. The seal used this time, however, was not as strong as the one used by Daphne I all those years ago, so the seal started to falter and degrade after a few years, completely breaking around the time the Trix lost the war during the Siege of Alfea. After that, and while having lost some of their memories, Darkar resumes his search for Relix, kidnapping the Pixies and Aisha and kickstarting the plot of S2.
