Dagan's birth parents are unknown, but as an infant he was adopted by Vez and Pax Ka'Pt and raised in Oakridge, a small village in the County of P’Lar, alongside his adoptive cousin Tarrin Ka'Pt. After performing his national service with the Troll Bridge Association (TBA) - Mor'Koc Branch as a courier, he returned to his family home. Unusually for a Orth protagonist, he appears to have no issues with his family life or backstory, besides the usual childhood bullying for being an unusual race in a rural area.
