Dak'kon is a Githzerai, a people who live in Limbo, where the form of matter itself can only be held together by concentration. They thus place great emphasis on the holistic knowledge of things and even the word *know* and its derivatives. He used to be a Zerth, but in not *knowing* the teachings of Zerthimon he left the City of the People.

He is a Fighter/Mage, and can teach The Nameless One both the Art and the knowledge of weapons.


Biography

"My past is not known to you. It is not my will that you should know it. Know that I bear the scars of one who has travelled the Planes. Know that I have never rested long in any one place. Know that I bear the weight of one who has travelled far to be in this place. Know that I am a Githzerai. Know that I am of the people of Zerthimon. It was Zerthimon who knew the Githzerai before we knew ourselves. He knew what had to be done to free us. From his knowing, came action. From his knowing, freedom was born. The Githzerai ceased to be slaves and became a people. Know that I follow the Unbroken Circle of Zerthimon. His words are known to me. His heart is known to me. All that remains is that I know myself."

While translating the Circles of Zerthimon, it is revealed that Dak'kon had a crisis of faith which forestalled his learning of the Githzerai mysticism; The Nameless One can surpass Dak'kon in these teachings, and aid him in proceeding with them.

Shrak'at'lor

The Nameless One (TNO) can ask Dakkon about this subject anytime after returning from Pharod and going to Fell's tattoo parlour; Kii-na also mentions it specifically after the Yi-Minn event.

Dakkon reveals that he was a leader in the city of Shrak'at'lor and his word was relied upon by its inhabitants to reinforce the willpower required to keep it whole and functioning. When Dakkon came to doubt the teachings of Zerthimon, his will faltered, and with it, the peoples will, and their city.

An earlier incarnation of TNO rescued Dak'kon from the ravages of Limbo after the city's fall, and used this life debt to prevail upon Dak'kon to do his bidding, effectively enslaving Dak'kon. The present incarnation can convince Dak'kon, up to a point, that there was no debt because Dak'kon's crisis of faith only worsened after he was rescued.
