The masked leader of the Desert Apostles' invasion of Earth. He oversees operations from the Desert Palace, using his mastery of technology to create weapons such as Dark Pretty Cure and (later) the Dark Bracelets. He turns out to be Yuri's Disappeared Dad, who was brainwashed by Dune when he received the mask from Baron Salamander in France. However, Sabaku ended up sacrificing his life to save Yuri. Now, Lord Ark has resurrected him from the grave under one mission: to stop Cure Moonlight. Can Yuri stop him?
