Dark Interlopers (group)

The Dark Interlopers were a cabal of high-ranking members of the Sheikah Cadre who betrayed the Kingdom of Hyrule during the Rise of Ganon. Led by the traitorous Bongo, the they sought to steal the Triforce for their own ends.

Rise of Ganon
Ganon is first contacted by the Interlopers via a mysterious letter he revives at Lon Lon Ranch, which invites him to Kakariko. There he meets their leader, Bongo, and aids her in exploring the Shadow Temple and defeating the Druthulidi Dethl - unknown the Ganon and her followers, Bongo is posessed by the demon.

Bongo then sends him to secure allies in the Gerudo Desert, giving him a Genocide Poison to with which to corrupt the Oases of the Gerudo, and then urging him to secure an alliance with Darknut Legion by beating their God-King at a battle tournament. When Zalunbar attempts to cheat using Zuna Crossbowmen, Bongo attacks the Darknuts with Dark Interloper forces, jesting that Ganon is justified in cheating as well.

The Dark Interlopers later aid Darknut and Blin armies in in the taking of Hyrule Prime, attacking the city's eastern flank, and Bongo interrogates Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule before he dies of his injuries, learning that the Triforce is secured in the Water Temple. She promptly lies to Ganon, telling him it is hidden with the Volvagians at Spectacle Rock.

When Princess Nylin Zelda I repels a Blin attack on Snowpeak with surviving Hylian and Sheikah Loyalist forces, the Dark Interlopers observe the battle from a safe distance, and despite pressure from her lieutenants Bongo elects to march South to Hylia Marine instead of waylaying the Hylians, confident that Ganon's forces will provide the necessary distraction for her to secure the Triforce.

The Dark Interlopers occupying Hylia Marine for several weeks as they search for the Triforce, but are unable to stop the Zora garrison at the Water Temple from contacting reinforcements. The renegade Sheikah are taken suprise by Gerudo and Fairy armeis led by Twinrova and Veran, respectively also attempting to secure the Triforce, and trapped in a three-way battle until they are finally attacked by a Hylian-Zora-Blin alliance that defeats all three.

Their leader Bongo is executed by decapitation and thrown into the well of Kakariko, and the surviving Dark Interlopers are handed over to the Gerudo Warlords, whom imprison them in the Mirror of Twilight alongside the rebel Gerudo and Rogue Fairies, leading them to become the ancestors of the Twili.
