Dorgen (MLIII)

Ardo- Brother

(Unnamed)- Nephew

Defender of Underfall

**Dorgen** is a minor character, as well as an Antagonist in "*Miracula Luxia III*".

He is an evil dragon who has allied himself with Mordred Darkthrop and his army, hoping to achieve some sort of personal benefit from his war against Adam and his allies.

He serves as a minor, but infuential Antagonist in "*Miracula Luxia III"* 's last Chapter.

## Overview

*A vile, untrustworthy, demonic creature who solely thinks about himself and his massive hoard.*

*Dorgen is the eldest child of Athron who emerged into the outside world way too early and found the wrong friends to play with. Thus, he became evil and corrupted, even more so than some of the most cruel dragons in Avernum's history. Thus, Athron had no choice but to exile him from their ancestral home, hoping that he will see the truth when he explores the lands above.*

*Unfortunately, his mother's actions only made him worse than he already was. After travelling to the Surface, he met with numerous mighty villains and general miscreants. However, he was not satisfied with the knowledge that they possessed and continued to seek the powers of darkness... until he met Mordred Darkthrop. When the vile dragon was attacked by a large army of human warriors after trying to destroy their town, the evil wizard arrived and saved Dorgen by slaying the poor innocents.*

*Once he realized that Mordred is a sorcerer from a time long past, Dorgen made the decision to trust him and agreed to join him and help him conquer the world... as long as there is something left for him to call his own.*

*So far, Dorgen has been living in the evil capital known as Underfall, helping its vile residents launch raids on neighboring settlements, as well as large cities that are far away. None of the humans whom he attacked were able to stop him and it is clear that no regular human would be able to do so.*

*Even so, Dorgen never forgot about his family's roots. He knows that he is still being hunted by them and that he will have to face them again someday.*

*And it seems like that day may be coming soon, as his brother- Melanchion- is on his way to the capital.*

## Death

### Killed By

* Athron *(Indirectly Caused)*

Many years ago, when Dorgen was about the exiled from his kin, Athron warned him that his evil will lead only to death and destruction and, should he continue to perform his evil deeds without regret of thought, he will soon be defeated by a warrior, clear of heart and mind.

The Godmother's assumption proves to be correct many years later, when Sharla finally kills Melanchion and ends his life for good.

* Melanchion *(Caused)*

Melanchion and Ardo fight Dorgen, in the hopes of defeating him and freeing the world from his evil. Unfortunately, the battle does not go as it was expected and Dorgen manages to fight back, severely wounding Melanchion and killing Ardo.

Unfortunately, this proves to be his undoing, as Ardo's death drives Melanchion to the brink of pure rage. Fueled by the hatred in his heart, he manages to strike Dorgen down and, with the help of Ardo from the Afterlife, manages to use an attack that mortally wounds him.

Even though this is not enough to defeat him, Melanchion was still directly responsible for causing Dorgen's eventual demise.

* Sharla Qualle

Unfortunately, Dorgen manages to trap Melanchion and seal his fate.

However, before he can finally kill him, Sharla manages to jump from the top of the nearby cathedral. Using her immense power, she manages to drive her spear through Dorgen's body, slicing him in two and summoning a massive lightning.

Although the initial blow is not enough to end his life, the lightning proves to be powerful enough, blowing the once mighty and vile creature into a million pieces, never to return again.
