Dark Deathsinger appeared thus in classic EQ:

On P99 he's got a different face; he also has a helmet now. Perhaps more importantly, on classic EQ the Bashers were hostile toward Deathsinger, now they just ignore him. I used to alternate between killing Dark and Drizda with my old troll shaman, so I'm reasonably familiar with the esteemed League of Antonican Bards.
