Who's Who in the Annabelle Universe? Dagda

DAGDA

No picture at this time. Hopefully that will change someday.

Name Origin

Irish Gaelic name meaning "the good god." In Celtic mythology, this is the name of a god of knowledge and magic, and a leader of the Tuatha Dé Danann, supernatural beings who inhabited Ireland prior to the coming of the Celts.

 
Physical characteristics:
Dagda appears as an old Irishman, bald with a thick white beard with black streaks on both sides. He's a bit winded from centuries of battle but otherwise in good shape. Always seen garbed in a dark green hood and cloak.


Personality:
Very kind and willing to help others if needed. He is determined to stand in the way of Lord Domi and his evil. Passionate about standing up for what is right, no mater the cost.

Abilities:
Dagda is a High Mage of the ancient Order of the White Warlocks.  He has practiced white magic for centuries and has a number of powerful spells at his fingertips.

Known History:
Dagda was an apprentice to the great warlocks during the Exodus War. He was there during the Farnalla Exodus and elected to stay behind to protect the in-between years. 


He’s the High Mage of the North American Coven. He migrated to North America to watch for the "prophesied younglings". While most forgot the prophesy, he still believed it.
 
Despite the fact that the Coven have always acted as police to the magic world, most white warlocks and witches remain in hiding. Hunted by Dominic’s forces for centuries, they operate in super secret covens across the globe. No more than three in each group and always on the move, Dagda keeps them organized and hidden. He marshals their forces across the globe to constantly block Domi's attempts to take over the world. They regularly work with the prophetic Falabranwyn.
