Dark and mysterious made me think of the Greenland Shark. I first learnt about these sharks watching a documentation on tv and I was sitting and watching literally with my mouth wide open. In 1998 they were filmed by US scientists for the first time ever.
They were observed in depths of 2'000 metres and deeper, where there is no light and have the longest known lifespan of all vertebraes (estimated between 300 and 500 years). How amazing is that? I linked the Wikipedia article above, so you can learn more about these amazing sharks.
