Looking every inch the warrior that he is, D�Argo is one of the most physically impressive of Moya�s crew. As well as his muscles and his skill with his antique Qualta Blade, his arsenal also includes a huge, prehensile tongue. And that�s before mentioning the terrifying Luxan hyper-rages he�s prone to falling into, or his ability to withstand half an ahn of vacuum.

Like most on Moya, his past hides its secrets, although most of them quickly came to the surface. D'Argo�s rank of general was revealed to be a fraud perpetrated by him when he took his dead commanding officer�s clothes during battle.

The crime which led to him being imprisoned on Moya turned out to be less than clear cut too - he roused Peacekeeper anger by marrying a Lo�laan, a Sebacean woman. Scandalised, her brother murdered her then framed D�Argo for the crime, giving him only enough time to get his son Jothee to safety.

While he many be all-grown up in body, he�s still an adolescent when it comes to emotions. Over the three seasons so far, he�s had a rough ride, made worse by his tendency to fall head-first into any emotional relationship, and his fondness for the ladies.

Even the high points have had their downsides. The happiness he found in being reunited with son Jothee, and from his sexually charged relationship with the beautiful Chiana, crumbled when the two betrayed him by sleeping with one another.

Since finding and losing his son, D�Argo has been at a bit of a loose end, tinkering with his strange Luxan ship, and constantly arguing with John.
