In "Divine Divinity" and "Beyond Divinity", we learn of this entity. The evil wizards referred to is the Black Ring. There's a somewhat good rehash of this somewhere in one of the games. I did find this short bit: "The Lord of Chaos is the god who created demons, just as 6 of the Seven created their own mortal races. He is presumably an Eternal, since his godhood predates the creation of mortals, but it is never actually confirmed in D:OS2, since he is dead and reincarnated as Damian by that point." My take is that it is void vs source in the game world with the gods fighting the void since it would end their source infused rule while the Lord of Chaos (now Damien) is a third power also against the gods since it wants to take their place and also against the void (OS1). Then, in my view, there is the God King. I haven't finished DOS2 yet so I am lacking a lot of input (I assume) but I have to wonder if this isn't the eternal king who denied Fane his desire to investigate is great finding on source. If so, I assume he was thrown into the void with the others and represents yet a fourth power in the world. It's a typical modern good vs evil; modern meaning good isn't all that good nor is evil all that evil, ie, not a black and white sort of thing (which makes for great gaming since the choice is not clear). The story, IMO, has been intentionally left vague so new ideas that are thought to be better can be twisted into it as new games are made. I prefer a more united story, though, as it is more immersive. However, I have yet to find the game maker who writes a story that is not released to the public then makes games in sequence to fit that story. I can see why - later ideas may be better so they, of course, want to incorporate them. Just another give and take I suppose.
