Kon the Knight is a character in Dragon Quest V and a member of the Order of Zugzwang.

Appearance[]

He is a white muscle horse covered in grey scales. He has a large red mane and red eyes. He is often seen grinning widely.

Personality[]

Kon the Knight is a brutal antagonist who isn't above murdering his opponents on the orders of Bishop Ladja. Initially loyal to Ladja, he eventually gets a castle to rule over and gets some subjects who talk up to him, making him feared as a king. Despite this, he still calls on Ladja's help when he knows that he's outmatched.

In the English localization of the DS version of V, he has a thick Russian accent, like all members of the Order of Zugzwang, and nearly all of his dialogue is turned into puns based off of horses.

Kon is summoned alongside Slon by Ladja in order to kill Pankraz, the main character's father. While he and Slon cannot defeat him alone, Ladja threatens to kill Pankraz's child and forces him to take a heavy beating from Slon and Kon. Kon asks what to do with the main character's pet, and Ladja tells him to throw it out into the wild where it will surely return feral.

Sometime between these events and when the Hero escapes the Order, Kon is given a castle to rule over. Once the main character's wife gives birth to her twins, the chancellor kidnaps her while a maid hides with the twins. The Chancellor was apparently under orders from Kon, but Kon double-crossed him and the chancellor ended up dying, though it's unclear whether it was actually Kon or some other monster who killed him.

In the SNES version of the game, Kon petrifies the protagonist and his wife after his boss battle as his last dying act. In the PS2/DS version, Kon calls on Ladja to help him before dying from his wounds, with Ladja appearing to petrify them.

Etymology[]

The name Kon comes from "конь", which means "male horse" in Russian.

All of the major villains in Dragon Quest V have names based in the game of chess. In chess, the Knights are a pair of game pieces shaped like the head and neck of a horse, By rule, they begin at each player's back rank between rooks and bishops, and may only legally move in three-square "L" patterns, but can jump over obstructing pieces so long as the legal move is maintained.

Trivia[]

  • Kon was seemingly introduced as a duo with Slon, however, after the time-skip, the two are never seen together again.
  • Kon is similar to Dokumezu, an agent of Ouma from the Namco X series. Both are one of their leader's right hand men (Ladja for Kon, Saya for Dokumezu). Kon's voice actor, Wataru Takagi, also voiced Ciseaux, a villain from Sakura Wars 3, who appears in Project X Zone and its sequel.
