Darkonda
From Power Rangers Universe
Darkonda is an evil agent in the service of the United Alliance of Evil.
Darkonda is a ruthless bounty hunter who has been directly involved in roughly a hundred different wars, assassinations, and crimes throughout known space. Little is known about Darkonda's past before becoming the deceptive bounty hunter that he is today. Over the years Darkonda has acquired extensive knowledge about countless locales throughout the Milky Way galaxy. Darkonda has extensive connections in the underworlds of various planets, even Earth.
Darkonda can teleport incredible distances by warping space around him. Darkonda fights with a telescoping sword that he carries on his side. Darkonda can make creatures grow giant size. Darkonda can merge with other beings, adding their strength to his own while making the other being's conscience remain dormant within himself. Ecliptor was one of the few unlucky enough to get absorbed into Darkonda.
Approximately 12 years ago, Darkonda was hired by Dark Specter to travel to the planet KO-35 in the Karova System to capture Karone, the sister of Andros the Red Space Ranger. In the years that followed Darkonda took an increasingly important role in KO-35 history. Although the specifics are still not known, Darkonda was a significant player in the events that led to the eventual evacuation of the planet including the Barillian Bug infestation that decimated much of the planet's population.
After the complete evacuation of the planet, Darkonda used it as a base of his own. Unchallenged, he looted and pillaged all that the colonists left behind in their hurry to evacuate KO-35.
Several years later Darkonda met up with Astronema, the Princess of Evil, and won a place on her Dark Fortress as her second in command (co-ranking with Ecliptor). Darkonda has gained Astronema's trust even though he plans on killing her and taking over her Dark Fortress, which he did for a brief period of time during Astronema's defection to the Power Rangers. Although Ecliptor was aware of Darkonda's true intentions, Darkonda blackmailed Ecliptor into remaining silent by threatening to reveal the secrets behind Astronema's origin to her.
He infected Carlos Vallertes, the Black Space Ranger, with the venom of a Barillian Bug.
After Astronema was reprogrammed and made pure evil, she threw Darkonda off of the Dark Fortress. His current whereabouts are unknown.
He later returned to aid the UAE in Dark Specter's Universal Conquest. He was with Astronema's army attacking the planet Earth. In a final act of betrayal, Darkonda commandeered a missile powerful enough to destroy the Earth and used it to destroy Dark Specter in an attempt to take power in controlling the universe for himself. However, he was destroyed in turn by the evil monarch before he fell. This was Darkonda's last life.
Darkonda was granted 9 lives by Dark Specter:
- He was killed in battle once by the Mega Voyager;
- Once by Zhane the Silver Ranger;
- Once by accidentally walking into one of his own traps;
- Twice by Ecliptor;
- For the final time by Dark Specter himself.
