Dakkon Blackblade

A powerful warrior and weaponsmith from Legends. Has the planeswalker spark, but it cannot ignite thanks to Geyadrone Dihada. Forefather of the Carthalions (Comics). The planeswalker Geyadrone Dihada requested that he forge her a powerful sword. With this she stabbed his shadow and left him, a cross between living and dead, his soul bound to an amulet held by his friend Carth. He wandered Dominaria for many years until he met Dihada and challenged her. Victorious, she returned his shadow. He is still believed to wander Dominaria with his only friend Carth. The Future Sight expansion hints that ownership of the Blackblade has since passed to an undead warrior named Korlash

Daria

‘She who comes first’. Adopted daughter of Taysir, resurrected by Ravidel. She may or may not be the same persona as Liana of Minorad. As a planeswalker she was one of ‘Nine Titans’ who fought with Urza against Yawgmoth. Daria met her end against Tevesh Szat, a fellow Titan, during the incursion of Phyrexia's third sphere. (Apocalypse)

Darien Kjeldor

Prince, and later King, of Kjeldor during the Ice Age. Initially seen by his people as a weak and ineffectual ruler who depends far too much on advisors, the treason of the Stromgald Cabal galvanises his rule. He immediately brings the military under his strict control and marches, alongside the Balduvians, against Lim-Dul, who had been manipulating the Cabal. Once Lim-Dul is defeated, Darien helps to unite Kjeldor and Balduvia into one nation, New Argive. He and the Balduvian chieftain, Lovisa Coldeyes, are then content to step back and groom their heirs to eventually take the throne. During Heidar's campaign to reverse the Thaw, Darien successfully steps up his attempts to bring Yavimaya and the Juniper Order into a closer alliance with the nation. (Cards: Darien, King of Kjeldor, Swift Maneuver, Unlikely Alliance)

Darigaaz the Igniter

Darigaaz, also called in the book Rhammidarigaaz (meaning "conception" in the language of dragons) is the Primeval dragon of Shiv, symbolizing birth and creation. He served as a Shivan champion and challenged Urza when he visited Shiv for Mana rig. During the Invasion War, Darigaaz leads the army of dragons to protect Dominaria. However, cajoled by Tevesh Szat, he travels across Dominaria, awakening first Rith, then Treva, then Dromar and finally Crosis. He doesn’t realize that each awakening requires a sacrifice. Finally, he kills himself and embraces Crosis, who raises the four other primevals as gods. Darigaaz attacks the Weatherlight but Karn lets him see what he has become - a tyrant. Devastated, dives into a nearby volcano, killing himself and weakening the immortality of other four dragons so the Weatherlight can defeat them. (Invasion)

The two were suspicious, but Dralnu was also aware of the world's fate and rose to help. Agnate thought that the Lich Lord strikingly resembled his brother Thaddeus. However, Dralnu had his own agenda to follow, and secretly infected Agnate with a necrotic plague, hoping to make a zombie minion of him. Agnate is euthanised twice by Grizzlegom who then attacks the Lich Lord with the help of two Metathran.

Dyfed

The planeswalker who brought Yawgmoth to Phyrexia. Herself a Thran, from before the setting of the eight city-states, she returned to Dominaria and the city-state of Halcyon after detecting an unignited planeswalker spark, and assumed it was Yawgmoth's (she had actually felt Glacian's, as Yawgmoth did not have a spark). Transplanted some of Halcyon's aristocratic elite and their goblin caretakers to the undeveloped plane of Mercadia at the behest of Glacian. Later, Yawgmoth captured and kept her incapacitated long enough to study her thoroughly, hoping to find the "planeswalker organ." When Rebbec was trying to save Glacian from Phyrexia she encountered Dyfed, comatose and cut open on a table, and kindly put her out of her misery.
