One of that person's nodes. And nobody would know that the nodes belong
to the same person.

After I establish my first node on a darknet I can create a new node and
have it connect to my first node. If the net is somewhat popular I
should be able to find people who want to join. I give them the address
of my new node. Sooner or later some of the newbies will make
connections to other nodes. Now my new node is established on the
network and I can start establishing the next one.

Once I have a few established nodes I cut the connections between them
and use them to form the outer layer of my "evilnet".
