Inspector Darkney is Inspector General of Horde World.

Apparently, there's nothing Hordak hates more than a Horde Inspector. Given this evidence, the very idea of he and Inspector Darkney seeing eye-to-eye is about as likely as Madame Razz remembering a spell correctly or Hordak himself taking responsibility for a backfired plan. In other words, Darkney was possibly the only Hordesman, other than Horde Prime, who had any particular control over the Hordak.

On no occasion did Inspector Darkney show any sort of power - his purpose was to oversee goings-on on Horde World (which we never saw) and inspect places like the Fright Zone for faults. On two different occasions, Darkney was sent from Horde World to visit Etheria to find out why Hordak was having so much trouble defeating the Rebellion. The first time, early on in the She-Ra series, he propsed to put a giant dome over the Whispering Woods to stop the Rebels getting out and threatening the Horde. The plan, foiled by He-Man and She-Ra, showed Darkney that the Rebellion is possibly the most formidible force ever faced by the Horde and that Hordak clearly has his work cut out for him. [ 13 ]

On the second occasion, Darkney fell foul to one of the Rebellion's attacks and was taken prisoner in the Rebel camp. The idea of an Inspector allowed Adam and Adora to rescue some prisoners from the Fright Zone, by posing as Inspector Darkney's replacements. Of course, given the fact that Inspectors are among the elite few that can order Hordak around, Adam and Adora had an easy job freeing the captured Rebels and, when they were safe, Darkney was sent back.[ 87 ]

Inspector Darkney is a difficult character to sum up - whilst he seems crafty and has a valid job in the Horde, neither of the two episodes which gave him a 'starring role' really gave him much material - the first looking moreso at the relationship between Adora, Adam and their Grandfather and the second simply using him to utilise the plot. His lack of physical power is balanced by his status in the Horde, seemingly higher than Hordak himself, but still far lower than the mighty Horde Prime.
