A darktorch is unaffected by magical darkness, and can see perfectly well in both natural and magical darkness.

Undead adventurer wielding a torch of pure darkness, seeking to spread its eternal curse
A Darktorch was once an adventurer that died in terror after their last torch went out. A darktorch is a usually humanoid undead with a vaguely nondescript appearance, making it hard to say what race, or even what gender, it once was. It wields a torch that emanates pure darkness like a weapon. Its goal is to kill other adventurers by enveloping them in the eternal darkness that has claimed it. A darktorch hides in this darkness, waiting for the ideal moment to attack, when it envelops its prey in its curse.
