Darklon was part of a unit of Iron Grenadiers used by Destro in Sao Cristobel when the latter sold a nuclear warhead to one side in the country's civil war but arranged for the helicopter carrying it to crash. Darklon was sent in command of a team of Iron Grenadiers under to recover it before a G.I. Joe Team reached there first. En route a peasant girl warned him "Beware the dark man... he will be your downfall... I have dreamt it..." but Darklon was dismissive. However Darklon's team and the Joes were beaten by a Cobra team headed by the Baroness. Darklon and the Grenadiers returned to Destro's temporary base which they unsuccessfully defended against an attack by the G.I. Joe Team, who sought the remote control for the warhead. During the battle Destro was thrown out over the edge of a cliff and Darklon, believing his salary gone, contemplating selling the remote control to Cobra but he was overpowered by the Joe Snake-Eyes (the "dark man") who took the control and used it to take the warhead from Cobra.
