An Archon is an honoree by His All Holiness, the Ecumenical Patriarch, for his outstanding service to the Church, and a well-known distinguished, and well-respected leader of the Greek Orthodox Community (at large).

Furthermore, the honoree should have demonstrated to a greater than average degree his commitment toward the stewardship of time, talent, and treasure, for the betterment of the Church; Parish-Diocese; Archdiocese; and the community as a whole, and must truly be deserving of the proclamation - AXIOS.

 StarCraft Compendium: Protoss Strategy - Dark Archon Unit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The Dark Archon has no physical attack ability of its own (much like the High Templar of Aiur) but the special abilities it can wield (Feedback, Maelstrom and Mind Control) are more than sufficient to cause massive disarray in an enemy force.
However, like the Archon, the Dark Archon has a frail physical form (a little stronger than the Archon) and if its shields are depleted, be ready to make a run for the nearest Shield Batteries.
The Dark Archon can capture any controllable unit (this excludes Spider Mines, Scarabs, Interceptors and Larvae) when this ability is used and transfer control to the owner of the Dark Archon.

Fear is the hoofprint of the Archon, and fear is the way in which we further empower authority, evil or any appropriate Archonian manifestation.
Sure, it’s easy to argue that War could be an excellent powerhouse for the Archons, but even the longest wars have to end, and to often (for the Archons) the citizens of states which are constantly at war overthrow the tyrants in power.
You see, there’s a caveat to all of this, and it’s connected to the definition of evil as “anything that vilifies the Other by reducing its value.” In an imperfect world, acts of evil are part of the imperfection, and therefore illusory.
