Blackblade, Dakkon

Dakkon Blackblade was a Death Knight in the service to the Cimmerian Horde during the War of Malice and during the Age of Shadow.

Early Life
Dakkon Blackblade began his adult life as a humble blacksmith until he was pressed into service by the Cyndaran Forces, looking for conscripts. While in the army of Cyndar, Dakkon began earning a reputation as a skilled warrior. When Dark Lord Tyranis learned of his skill as a blacksmith, Tyranis asked Dakkon to forge a mighty blade for him, one of the finest that Dakkon had ever made. The reward for Dakkon's service would be freedom from the common army of the Cyndarans.

Dakkon slaved for 10 years, attempting to make the greatest blade that he could, pouring his soul into the craftmanship. The blade began to be imbued with the energy that Dakkon poured into it, turning it into a Soul-stealing weapon. The claim is that Dakkon cooled the blade every day for 10 years by stabbing it into the chests of the slaves working next to him. In the end, Tyranis took the still hot and glowing blade, plunging it into Dakkon's chest as a reward for his service.

Later Life
Dakkon did not die from this attack. The sword, now known as "The Blackblade", had bonded to him and transferred dark energy from the various souls it had absorbed into him, effectively making him the first of many Death Knights in service to the growing Cimmerian Horde.
