History


Ancient Age
Around 5000 BG, the First Sage of Fire Maphaeus chose Dakkon to be her successor to the mantle of Sage of Fire.

With his new powers, Dakkon quickly united Death Mountain under the Volvagians. The Lizalfos accepted to serve under Dakkon and become citizens of the Death Mountain Empire, while the Gorons were enslaved by the Volvagians after they killed their king Dalagra.

For five millennia Dakkon rules over his empire of Volvagians and Lizalfos, crushing all rebellions from the Gorons, including a particularly large one in the first century before Ganon that resulted in the flight of the Lizalfos from Death Mountain.

Rise of Ganon
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 99 AG Dakkon marches upon Hyrule Castle with Ganondorf's army, breaking through the gates and assaulting the city. Following the battle he and the surviving Volvagians disperse to parts unknown.

The Great Sea
An unknown amount of time after barely surviving the battle at Hyrule Prime, Dakkon heads to the Great Sea.

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.
