Description
The universe is a very large place, and presumably, noone has ever seen its limits. Just a little something I give you to think about.Allastor stands in the foreground, the mighty Mythril Dragon of the legend, at least in regards his clan's lore. He channels the power of Bahamut, and could be considered the very avatar of The Platinum Dragon, although he remains mortal. Kind, righteous and caring, he is the very example his clan's Elders once encouraged to follow.
In the shades, right behind him, Allastor (Nightfire) is considered the "other side of the coin" shared with the Mythril Dragon. He comes from a parallel universe to this one, twisted, and where dragons were not so "lucky" as in this one. His opposite, everything our hero is not, is represented in the Wrath. Devoted to Tiamat, and in a similar fashion, Allastor draws his power from the Queen of Dragons and his own wrath, in an attempt to avenge his kind.
Now, we have good and evil presented here, the two would be counters to one another... However, the Multiverse is called Multiverse for a reason. And if so, who are the other two shades of Allastor? What are their intentions, that some of them are reflected within their expressions...?
...
Something I have been meaning to do, but not spoil completely, so I can allow you to discuss what other threats our dragons have to face. And to keep the mystery, of course...
Enjoy, while listening to this, and wonder...

... Hm, I have a theory that is reversible for either... Details may vary for each story but I will wait until I get further information to validate it.

I would be interested in hearing it

WeLl at first glance my theory stated that neither completely abandoned the teachings of Bahamut which still holds true, the only variation to my original theory came when I took a closer look. The lighter Alastor still holds Bahamut in higher regards but uses the powers of Tiamat to take out his Justified rage on to those who caused the genocidal actions against his people and in the process became the very thing that his clan feared, a dragon controlled by power.
The Darker Alastor I can figure two theoretical possibilities: 1.) That he indeed gained retribution in his world via Tiamat but learns that Avatar does not mean god. Only they can invoke the return of dragons. As such he walks the path of redemption from Bahamut. Or 2.) He begins his wrath but finds out that his love survives the assault they meet up and then he realizes how wrong he his. He does not seek redemption from the Platinum dragon as he feels that he's fallen to far, yet he will not completely bow to Tiamat, choosing the state between as his punishment for his sins in his world.
This is what I've came up with so far but its following Mulit-verse laws so its still up for grabs. Untill I have more to work off of that's what I'm sticking to

I'm kind of confused about your theories, even though seem to share some details with what I have in store. You would would have to explain further.
Also, I'm uncertain to which Allastors you refer to when you say "lighter" and "darker". Have in mind that the left most is the Mythril Dragon, the chosen one of Bahamut, and the one right behind him (2nd to left most) is Allastor Nightfire, who the Wrath, Tiamat's champion.

Ok so let me clarify:
My theories are based on the following: Allastor (the Mythril Dragon) is to the far left While Nightfire (Wrath) is on the far Right. The 'Lighter' one is the second one from the left while the 'Darker' one is the second from the right and that this was a total attack on Dragonkind throughout the multiverse.
Ideally the second from the left was in a world where his kind survived, not unlike Allastors (Mythril one; for future reference I'm going to call him M Allastor) however after they escaped this Allastor felt that the humans and dragons responsible needed to be punished. Going against some of the teachings of Bahamut and embracing a select few of Tiamat's to try and justify what he is about to begin. Once he began he then realized that it was not only his world that suffered the same fate and began to 'hop' between worlds; Slowly having his power control him.
While the Darker Allastor (Allastor #3) walked the path of Allastor Nightfire. Here is where I split the theories
Theory 1: He followed Tiamats teachings to the letter and completely destroyed humankind, making him the only sentient thing alive. It was then that he realized, only the gods themselves can enact the return of the dragons not their avatars. After reflecting on his actions he also realized that Bahamut was correct and in another world tries to amend his ways and redeem himself to the true Mrithril dragon.
Theory 2: He begins to walk the path to Tiamat wanting complete revenge for his kind. He does not realize that his love (or family, could be either) still lives and is trying to catch up with him before it is too late. After he had destroyed many would-be allies, they finally caught up with Allastor and in a mortified shock confronted him. It was then he realized that what he has done was wrong, believing that the Dragon of the north will not forgive him and allow him back into his teachings. He did, however, reject the teachings of Tiamat that he so devoutly followed and began again, unsure of what to do.
Well that was long winded...
Hope this helps!

Ok, I see it now, but I must correct something that seemed unclear: Allastor Nightfire (the Wrath) is the 2nd from left to right. The two 'new' Allastors are the two right most (#3 and #4). Also, none of the Allastors can follow some ideals from both Bahamut and Tiamat. That would mean they would loose the 'favor' of either or both deities, thus loosing their powers. Allastor Nighfire, for instance, gave up on Bahamut's teachings and chose the path revenge and hate, towards humans and some of the dragons that made his life in living hell and further loneliness, and Tiamat sought an opportunity to make this fallen Allastor her champion to oppose the Mythril Dragon (You may want to check this [link] ).
However, it's impressive how close your 1st theory on "Darker Allastor" (3rd one) is to what happened to that same Allastor, except Bahamut and Tiamat have no influence on him. The 4th Allastor is nothing close to the rest of them, but its certainly something very dark, and that you probably don't expect

I see...
But if neither the queen or king have any influence on them then is it safe to assume that another member of the pantheon is? (If that is the fact I have an idea...)

Interesting idea, everyone does the "good" and "evil" versions of Multiverse, but very few explore the many shades of grey inbetween.
Neat pic!!!

If I told you what I'm actually doing I would be spoiling it 
*mystery music*

This is a great idea, just don't get carried away and make a "Disney Universe Allastor"... that would be REALLY evil.... 
In response to your link, I offer my own (although I would have anyway, because I'm a nerd like that). At least this one is an actual video, instead of just an album cover set to music.

No way I'm doing that! That'd be the HAX itself!
That's actually quite nice! I'm totally fav'ing it. Where's the song from? It sounds very anime-ish.

It'sa Japanese Power Metal band called "X", but outside of Japan, is known as "X Japan", because another band named "X" already existed in Great Britain (a Punk band to be sure). This particular track is the opening cut from the album "Jealousy" released in 1991.
This band is a big influence on the sound of Dragonforce, but this is a little misleading since X Japan has always been more diverse than your average Speed Metal band. They also pioneered a genre in Japan (with an accompanying fashion trend) called "Visual Kei", which could be looked upon as Power Metal with the looks of extreme Hair Metal/Glam Rock.
That's about all I can tell you of relevance. Everything else is unimportant unless you like pointless details. The guitar player "Hide" committed suicide in 1998, which basically spelled the end for the band, although they did reunite recently for a soundtrack appearance (Saw IV). Happy Hunting!

Wow. That's awesome, except for the guitar player committing suicide, of course.

You can find most of this stuff on the internet if you want to avoid pesky Japanese import CD prices, and it might even be available on iTunes if you go that way for your music.

The right most, however, is worse...

I imagine so.
hmm, well if what your implying here is that the last two are the extremist of the "Allastor's" then most likely they are the purest embodiment of good and evil.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope. I didn't imply that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's alright. They are other 'versions' of Allastor that have other objectives...
I'm not saying any more!

wait, there's more of these guy's? then again I suppose this alternate reality's/universes come alternate Allastors, the possibilities never end. I just hope there's no-AH D@MN IT!! I HAD SOMETHING WITTY TO SAY!!! IHADITIHADITIHADIT!!!!!!!!!!!

personally...I would think the middle two would be the anti-hero types.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually, the middle-left one is Allastor Nightfire. So, you have Allastor Darkflame (the Mythril Dragon), Allastor Nightfire (The Ebon Wrath), and two more "replicas" behind them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
so its two and 4 that's the alternates... well I would be right on one...and shudder on the other.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
More like it's Allastor and three alternates, one of which is Nightfire. The other two are... classified
