Dakkon (Total War)

Dakkon is the second Sage of Fire of Hyrule and emperor of Death Mountain.

Etymology
Dakkon is the Volvagian and Goron word for mighty, or one who is mighty.

Physical Appearance
Dakkon is a large elder Volvagian. At nearly thirty feet high and fifty feet long, his huge serpentine body is often covered in flames. He is also characterized by two smaller arms and an external skull.

Powers and Abilities
Dakkon was given the ability to control and manipulate heat, most commonly through the use of fire and explosives. Because of his massive size Dakkon can physically overpower many smaller armies. He is fond of manifesting his powers through flame breath.

Personality
Dakkon is both a calm and contemplative individual and a cruel, oppressive tyrant. He respects bravery and rebellion against his power and often rewards it.

Rise of Ganon
Dakkon becomes Emperor of Death Mountain a short time before the Rise of Ganon. He quickly seizes control of the entire Death Mountain range and enslaves the Gorons to his command. In 0 AG the Moblin King Ganon approaches Dakkon and attempts to convince him to betray the Hylians in exchange for rulership over much of Hyrule. While he initially declines, Ganon's bravado and bluffs impress him so much that he becomes willing to take the risk of rebellion. Dakkon sides with Ganon, and orders his forces to allow them passage into the Fire Temple. When Darunia and the Gorons under his command reject the order Dakkon attacks and bites Darunia, poisoning him.

Soon after Princess Zelda I arrives on Death Mountain with her armies and orchestrates an alliance with Darunia and his Gorons. Dakkon attempts to defend the Fire Temple but is injured by Darunia in battle. With many of his fellow Volvagians slain and injured, Dakkon flees Death Mountain across Hyrule and into the Gerudo Desert. Soon after Darunia is made into the Sage of the Fire and Dakkon's powers begin to slowly dwindle.

Gerudo Wars
Dakkon and the remaining Volvagians are approached by Ganondorf and Agahnim around 95 AG and are convinced to aid the Gerudo in an invasion of Hyrule. In 101 AG Dakkon marches upon Hyrule Castle with Ganondorf's army, breaking through the gates and assaulting the city. There he is confronted by both Princess Zelda III and Rauru, who manages to impale and incapacitate him. It is unknown if he survives his injuries.

Trivia

 * Dakkon's stained glass window is one of the two that do not feature the three halos of the Goddesses, the other being Sulkaris. This is likely because he and Sulkaris both betray the Goddesses.
