The beauty here is that, due to the nature of Dark, it could be many things.

1. A lifeform corrupted by the reminents of the Manus Abyss.

2. Life generated from the Dark of the dissipated Abyss.

3. A single shard of humanity (or a single humanity spirit) that behaved in a way similar to Nashandra and her siblings.

4. All the humanity spirits that lived in the Manus Abyss.

It shows the uniqueness of the Dark within humans, and how it behaves in ways that are godlike in their own right. That's why I always figured the overpowered dark sorcery in DS1 to be canonically sensable.
