Darklon is a distant cousin of the Destro clan and the last of a long line of privateers, mercenaries, and investment bankers. From his cast-iron castle in the Alps, he dispatched his private armies to do battle for the highest bidder until Destro called upon him to lead his legions in his bid to take over Cobra.
Completely unhindered by ideology and ethics, Darklon is motivated purely by greed. His telephone solicitors have been known to drum up business for his mercenary army by offering "reasonable hourly rates" and cash rebates. Whenever there's a confrontation between two enemies, Darklon and his Evader are there to supply both sides with enough arms to keep the battle going for a long time.
To help raise funds for Destro's investment in Cobra's 1997 resurrection, the design of Darklon's uniform was sold to the terrorist organization known as
Pyro's Band of Thugs and re-colored for their member Crazeblaze. To date, Darklon has not yet been issued a new uniform.
