Anyway, i can spoil a little about both his flashback and dark side:

During the war in the past, he was captured by Nefarian Serpine,and was forced to watch his family killed by him. At that moment, Nefarian recently bestowed a dark power that he recently given to him by a priest. But the priest himself turned out already see great potential from Skulduggery himself. So, unbeknowist to Nefarian himself whom asked him to gave him power before that tragedy, he unaware that  the dark power that the priest bestowed to him turned out not being able to kill Skulduggery completely after slaughter his family. Instead, Skulduggery survived when Nefarian and his men throws Skulduggery's body away. Through sheer of will, he resurrect himself completely even his body reduced into skeleton for the rest of his life. Worse, his rage and sadness causes him to develop Dissosicative Personality Disorder, as Nefarian accidently created a monster called [|Lord Vile], a dark, secondary personality of Skulduggery, that temporary became evil. Fortunately, after kills thousands people, he regained his sense and decided to abandoned his dark path.
