Square Enix's profile names him as one of the Sworn Six of Paladia. He appears without warning before Rain and the others, destroys the Earth Crystal, and plans to wipe out every Crystal.
The Japanese profile adds that he attacked Grandshelt after breaking the Earth Crystal, and that he means to destroy all the Crystals with overwhelming power. It does not mention the Sworn Six or Paladia. His Japanese name, 常闇のヴェリアス, uses 常闇, a word for eternal darkness.

Where Veritas of the Dark enters the story
In Square Enix's story summary he is first a mysterious man in black armour who beats Rain and Lasswell in the Earth Shrine and shatters its Crystal. When they get home he is attacking Grandshelt; they save the king but lose to him again, and their journey is the pursuit of Veritas of the Dark.
That is as far as Square Enix's summary goes, and we have not played the full game, so nothing past it is covered here.
Common questions
Who voices Veritas of the Dark in Final Fantasy Resonance?
Ian Sinclair in English and Akio Otsuka in Japanese. Square Enix credits both on the official site's character profile.
Who are the Sworn Six?
Six warriors of Paladia who seek to destroy the Crystals. Square Enix's US site profiles only Veritas of the Dark, but its English news updates for Asia profile all six, each with an English and a Japanese voice: Veritas of the Dark, of the Heavens, of the Waters, of the Flame, of the Earth and of the Light.
Why does Veritas destroy the Crystals?
His profile says he schemes to destroy every Crystal but gives no reason, and Square Enix's story summary does not give one either.
