IIRC, there are a number of mentions of individuals in Binns's lectures who
may be dark rebels, someone will doubtless correct me on the name but I
think one of them was Edric the Intelligent or something similar.

Other contributors have assumed that they were goblins but that's nowhere
explicit.

It could also be argued that the dark/non-dark split goes right back to the
origins of the WW...
