Sardaukar Bator Dakkar appears in a cinematic event at the conclusion of The Fall of the Proteus journey. If the Player skips this journey, Dakkar is not mentioned again.
Location
At the conclusion of The Fall of the Proteus journey, Bator Dakkar lands his ornithopter next to the Wreck of the Proteus, which is located in the Valley of Echoes. This location is not marked in the Hagga Basin or the Overland map.
Dialogue
Dakkar's only captioned and translated dialogue, prior to fighting Zantara in a duel in a cinematic sequence:
You! Outlaw scum! I watched your men take their last tortured breaths as they hung on the walls of Arsunt. They died badly.
The Player doesn't interact with Dakkar prior or following this duel.
Dakkar's dying words prior are not captioned.
Lore
Bator Dakkar likely served in the Sardaukar garrison in the Arsunt fortress, from which he watched Zantara's co-conspirators hang.
A CHOAM mercenary allegedly informed Zantara that Bator Dakkar has been reassigned this garrison to peacekeeping in the Hagga Basin. Zantara attacked a prison transport, Imperial Penal Transport the Proteus, to lure Sardaukar patrols that would be sent to investigate the wreck. Based on his knowledge of Sardaukar protocols, he needed to lure Dakkar to the ground in the Valley of Echoes - as a commemorative act of revenge.
Previously, Zantara's men were detected by Sardaukar ornithopters and took refuge in a cave of the Valley to prepare for a ground assault. However, the Sardaukar used an ancient weapon to collapse the cave's entrance. Zantara and his crew were unable to free the trapped men inside cave.
Trivia
Bator Dakkar used a sword in a duel with Zantara, which is visually identical to Aramsham's Caress. Based on this weapon's description, which mentions it being designed less for single combat than sustain slaughter, it may explain why the Sardaukar Bashar lost the duel.
