—Daegon, watching everyone in the shadows

**Daegon** is an antagonist in The Owl House and Andreas's older brother who was a wild witch until he discovered a forbidden power making him the first shadow/dark witch. Like Andreas he and his family were captured and taken for execution by petrification. However he and Andreas watched their parents get turned to stone and was then experimented by Kikimora. During Luz’s rescue mission to save Eda from being petrified, Andreas was able to escape captivity from the emperor’s castle, but Daegon was unable to escape and was presumed dead by Andreas. However Daegon survived and went into hiding and vowed revenge on his captors and Andreas for abandoning him. During his time in hiding Daegon trained to become stronger then the Emperor’s coven and Belos, leading him to find a new type of magic that Belos had not discovered, Shadow Magic a corruptive, dark, forbidden and dangerous magic, thus Daegon formed the Shadow Coven with himself as it’s leader in secret.

## Appearance

### Body

Daegon is slender with light skin, dark magenta eyes, thick black eyebrows and pointed ears. His hair is short-length with a small fringe. On his face he has a scar from when he was tortured by Kikimora. When he was learning the secrets of Dark Magic his skin became pale.

### Clothes

Before he became the shadow lord, his clothing consisted of a grey tunic with dark grey belt, and black boots, and his leggings are purple. While he was in hiding, he wore a black cloak with a pauldron on his left shoulder, black tunic and black boots and his leggings are black. Underneath his tunic is black, and black chest armor with black wrist bands that he found while in hiding.

## Personality

Before becoming the Lord of Shadows, Daegon was caring, loyal, smart, and overprotective towards Andreas as he deeply cares about his younger brother and keeping him safe. As he would encourage and help Andreas with things that he struggles with.

However after he and Andreas were captured and tortured, they eventually managed to escape the emperor’s castle but as they we’re escaping, Daegon fell to his death presuming his death, however he survived his fall. This changed Daegon as he felt betrayed and abandoned by Andreas because of this he became darker, ruthless, deceptive, selfish, and filled with hatred and vengeance for Belos, the Covens and especially Andreas. During his time in hiding when he discovered and learnt the secrets of shadow, dark and corruptive magic which made Daegon evil, arrogant, power-hungry, remorseless, manipulative, cunning, apathetic, patient, tactical, imaginative and obsessed with vengeance and power as he began to believe that good magic is a blight to Boiling Isles leading him to plan on corrupting the Boling Isles and encase the world in darkness. One thing Daegon doesn’t like is serving anyone as he takes orders for no one making him a threat.
