The corruption of the Orichalcos made Dartz believe that the world was a wicked place, and that humans had an inherent malice in their hearts. The transformation that the Orichalcos had inflicted on his fellow Atlanteans was, he believed, the punishment for being evil, as the outside of man became as twisted as their inside.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|178|ref}}</ref> Dartz was driven to revive the Great Leviathan to raze the world, so that he may reconstruct it in the image of glorious Atlantis. To do so, Dartz required human souls.
Dartz wandered the Earth for 10,000 years, presumably kept alive by the power of the Orichalcos. He knew that he had found one of the powerful souls that he required when he encountered the [[Pharaoh Atem]] in ancient Egypt, and witnessed his control of the powers of darkness and his ability to command Duel Monsters. He also witnessed the Pharaoh, with [[Slifer the Sky Dragon (character)|Slifer the Sky Dragon]] pursuing [[Thief King Bakura]] and [[Diabound]]. However, Dartz could not capture the Pharaoh's soul because Bakura and [[Zorc Necrophades]] were in his way, However Dartz seems haven't any fear of Zorc and when he shown the past of the Pharaoh(His first battle with Bakura), Darz never see Zorc as threat for the Great Leviathan, because the powers of Leviathan are greater than those of Zorc. He therefore had to wait another 5000 years (3000 in the Japanese version) to capture the Pharaoh's soul.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|180|ref}}</ref>
It was unclear precisely when Dartz began to collect souls, but eventually, he established a multinational conglomerate that was named [[Paradius]], which became a well-known, yet mysterious force in the business world. But that was not the only organization that Dartz had formed. Dartz also controlled the [[Doma]] Organization (Paradius in the English version), a group formed to gather souls to feed the Great Leviathan by challenging unsuspecting players to games of Duel Monsters only to have their souls taken by "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]", a card that he had suffused with the Orichalcos' power.
