During his time as a prisoner, the Peacekeepers shackled D'Argo in his cell with heavy chains attached to a pair of metal hooks surgically implanted around his collar bones to keep the powerful Luxan under control. The hooks served as a reminder of his wrongful imprisonment, and thus were a source of shame. He wore these hooks until they were finally removed aboard Scorpius' Command Carrier near the end of the third season of Farscape. Scorpius is a fictional character in the television science fiction series Farscape. ...


Throughout the first half of the series, finding the son he had with Lo'Laan, Jothee, was D'Argo's consuming desire.

Trivia

  • In Horizons, the story by creator Rockne S O'Bannon that takes place far in the future, and that was written before Peacekeeper War, D'Argo is still alive. However, he did lose his arm, which is now a clear prosthetic.
  • D'Argo initially lies about his reason for being imprisoned, claiming he killed a superior officer. The truth is revealed in "They've Got a Secret": Since his wife Lo'Laan was a Sebacean, a race widely known to be prejudiced against other intelligent species, her marriage to D'Argo was a cause of turmoil within her family. This caused Lo'Laan's brother to harass her about the marriage until he accidentally kills her during a heated argument. D'Argo later confronts his wife's killer, but rather than simply killing him, he leaves him to mentally re-live the murder of his sister over and over for the rest of his life.
  • D'Argo bears the facial markings of a general although he never earned that rank. He took on the markings so his actual general would not be captured and interrogated during a battle.
  • He has a powerful tongue that he can shoot out at a high velocity, similar to that of a frog or chameleon. The tip can inject an "adaptive" venom controlled at will by D'Argo which can render the victim instantly unconscious or dead (or varying states in between).
  • Though D'Argo parts on bad terms with his son in "Suns and Lovers", they are later reunited and somewhat reconciled in the miniseries.
  • D'Argo is parodied by the character Teal'c in the Stargate SG-1 episode "200."
