MK info: Daegon


DAEGON
Appearances: Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
Realm of Origin: Edenia
Species: Edenian, Half-God
Alignment: Evil
Fighting styles: Fu Jow Pai
Weapons: Drakeswords

The main villain of Mortal Kombat Armageddon, Daegon is the evil brother of Taven, and the second son of the Edenian protector god Argus (also the father of Rain) and the prophet Delia. Contrary to his appearance, he is actually the younger brother of Taven. When Delia foretold the future of the realms as Armageddon, Argus had his sons put into incubation guarded by two dragons. They would be awakened one day to fight Blaze and save the realms from Armageddon.
Daegon and his brother Taven have been put in a contest by their parents. They have been put to a long sleep and were to be awakened by their guardian dragons when the time for the quest to begin will come. Daegon awoke prematurely due to an error by his guardian dragon Caro, who lost mental contact with Blaze and mistakenly believed that to be the signal to release Daegon. Daegon had become crazed and corrupted as a result, and founded the Red Dragon crime organization, which had its main target in finding Blaze and used Caro to open portals as transportation. In later years he used the DNA of Caro, whom he had imprisoned, to create human-dragon hybrids, and using the dragon's ability to create portals to transport his clan anywhere they needed to go. The quest required that both brothers take a weapon that was given to them by their father (the Drakeswords) and a gift from their mother (their armor). When Daegon made it to the temple of where the swords were, he took them both.
Daegon enlisted the help of Shinnok, who lied to him by saying that his parents were aiding his brother. Daegon confronted and killed them. When Taven was awakened, Daegon used his Red Dragon troops in attempt to get rid of his brother. Taven chased Daegon down to the Netherrealm, but left without finding him, because Shinnok lied to him that Daegon had already left the realm. Taven and Daegon eventually reached Edenia, where they fought for the right to contest Blaze. Daegon was then defeated by his brother.
