Shortly after, Thomas (who has become hated throughout Delain) leaves with a friend, Dennis, to go and track Flagg who is on the run. He shoots Flagg in the eye but the dark wizard uses magic to disappear, escaping them. Flagg is about to kill Peter and his allies when Thomas intervened with the royal bow. Upon reaching Delain's royal chamber they find no bow and Flagg reveals his demonic qualities to them. Knowing who is behind the entire mess, Peter manages to escape the Needle and with his allies goes to retrieve King Roland's bow and kill Flagg. As a result of this, Thomas is declared king of Delain but gives a large portion of the power over to Flagg because of his young age. The high judge finds Peter guilty and locks him away in the Needle (a huge dungeon tower at the center of Delain's royal city). This time, he poisons King Roland and frames Peter. As the boys Thomas and his brother Peter grow older, Flagg schemes another plan. Flagg eventually succeeds in forcing the queen's maid to murder her, despite Thomas being born.
Flagg's first attempt to overthrow the kingdom comes in the form of an assassination attempt on Queen Sasha, who is pregnant with Thomas, heir to the throne. Flagg first appears as a long time advisor to the Delainian Monarchy (going back multiple generations), but secretly he had wicked intentions.

It may have been, at one point or another, that Walter was taught dark magic by Maerlyn, the very wizard who is responsible for forging the Bends O' the Rainbow, the mystical seeing balls (one of which Roland finds in Wizard and Glass), because he is often seen possessing said seeing balls throughout different parts of the Dark Tower story, using them for his own wrongdoings. Over the years, it is implied that Walter learned the ways of Dark magic and became a very powerful sorcerer and to some extent becoming a sort of demon with a "quasi-immortality". The next year, he was raped by a fellow wanderer, but instead of returning home he went on to fullfill his destiny. At thirteen he grew bored and burned down his home, then sought out his father Maerlyn. He was given to a mill owner and his wife to be brought up to learn the ways of men. 2.8 One last trick and Demise (The Dark Tower).2.7 The Man Behind the Curtain (Wizard and Glass).2.6 Visiting Andrew Quick under Lud (The Waste Lands).2.5 A Sorcerer's Reading (The Gunslinger).2.1 Wizard and Glass/The Gunslinger Born.He also serves as a minor antagonist in the short story ‘Blind Willie,’ published in the collection ‘Hearts in Atlantis.’ He first appears as the main antagonist in Stephen King's The Stand before returning as the main antagonist again in The Eyes of the Dragon, as Randall Flagg.
