Hakon One-Eye was an Atmoran hero and Tongue in the Merethic Era. Hakon, Felldir the Old, and Gormlaith Golden-Hilt were the leaders of the rebellion against Alduin.[1][2] They were among the first mortals to learn how to wield the thu'um, apart from the Dragon Priests.[1][2][3] They were taught by Paarthurnax.[4] During the Dragon War, Hakon sought the help of Miraak, the First Dragonborn, in defeating Alduin, but Miraak refused to help.[5] Undeterred, Hakon and his companions fought against Alduin atop the Throat of the World. Finding that they had no means to achieve a final victory, the companions successfully sent the wyrm forward through time using an Elder Scroll. In the Fourth Era, when the Last Dragonborn entered the realm of Sovngarde to defeat Alduin, the spirits of Hakon and his compatriots joined the fray in the final battle against their nemesis.[1][2] He also aided the Last Dragonborn in their other battles, when called to their aid with the Call of Valor.[6][7]

He fought alongside a Chimer warrior, whose descendant Darns Gilvio was a member of a Sai Sahan's Dragonguard.[8]

He was reviled by the Order of the New Moon and remembered alongside Khunzar-ri as one of the individuals who contributed to the fall of the Dragon Cult.[9]

Notes[edit]

  • †  The inhabitants of Skyrim during the Dragon War were variously labeled Nords[4] and Atmorans.[10] The truth may lie somewhere in-between; while the two are considered distinct races,[11] the men living in the transition period between the terms' respective usage have been considered 'proto-Nords'.[12][13][14]
  • Gormlaith refers to Hakon as "brother", though it's unknown if this is literal or figurative.[1]
