Dakkon Blackblade was an ancient planeswalker who was forced into the service of Geyadrone Dihada. He was also referred to as the "Shadow Slayer" and "Dakkon the Avenger".

As a mortal, Dakkon was a master blacksmith and a warrior. One day he was visited by the planeswalker Geyadrone Dihada, who offered to make him a planeswalker if he would make her the best blade in existance, the Blackblade. Dakkon claimed to have stood at his anvil every day for ten years, cooling the blade by killing a slave with it after each time he heated it. After ten years Dihada returned and did make him a planeswalker, but immediately after that she stabbed the sword into Dakkon's shadow and absorbed his soul. Dakkon was left wandering the planes, wondering why Dihada would grant him so much power only to make him her enemy.

Many years later, Dihada was waging war on Corondor. She tricked a young boy from the fallen kingdom of Carth into summoning Dakkon. The boy (known as the Son of Carth) used the Amulet of Ti-Fu to bind himself to Dakkon, robbing Dakkon of the ability to planeswalk away. Dihada attacked the two, and in the battle Dakkon defeated Sol’Kanar, Piru, and Chromium Rhuell, reclaiming the Blackblade. His battle with the Elder Dragon Piru was so massive that it ripped the ground apart, creating the Dueling Chasm of Golthonor. When he attacked Dihada directly, she tricked him into believing she was defeated, but then placed her mark on him, making him her minion.

After Dihada left, he and the boy travelled to Terisiare, where the boy started the Carthalion legacy, named after Dakkon's nickname for the boy, "Carth the Lion". After the boy died, Dakkon probably served as Dihada’s main warrior.

Ages later, Dihada and Dakkon were present during the Planeswalkers' War of Corondor. One of the key players during this war was Jared Carthalion, the last surviving member of the Carthalions, but it is unknown how Dakkon interacted with him, what his other actions in the war were, or even if he survived.

A undisclosed time later Korlash claimed the Blackblade, but it hasn't been revealed yet if he did so before or after becoming a zombie.
