Huge and powerful, D'Argo was wrongly imprisoned by the Peacekeepers as a scapegoat for the murder of his own Sebacean wife, Lo'Lann. His hatred for the Peacekeepers runs deeper than most, and he lives to reunite with his son, and to avenge the wrongs that have been done him and his family. His experience aboard Moya, and the love and friendship he's seen develop among Moya's crew has taught him patience and understanding... to some degree. His relationship with Zhaan, in particular, has taught him that there is much that's mightier than the sword (or Qualta Blade, his Luxan weapon of choice, half sword, half energy rifle). D'Argo admires Zhaan for this more than he'd ever admit out loud... fortunately, Zhaan can often sense what goes unsaid.

Anthony Simcoe portrays Ka D'Argo, a Luxan warrior wrongfully imprisoned by the Peacekeepers. Behind his gruff exterior, D'Argo hides a compassionate and loyal heart, making him Crichton's closest friend and confidante. Simcoe is best-known for his role as Steve Kerrigan in the popular Australian comedy feature The Castle, released in May 1999 by Miramax in the United States. He also was featured in the Australian film Mr. Reliable. His television credits include guest-starring roles on Beastmaster and the Australian series A Country Practice, Home and Away, Water Rats and English at Work.

Simcoe's extensive theatre credits include Footloose Theatre Company's World Games; Sydney Street Theatre Space's Craving, which he wrote and performed in; Stables Theatre's Three Winters Green; Q.T.C.'s Peter Pan; Griffin Theatre's Complaints; and The Murray River Performing Group's production of Double Deception at the Hothouse Theatre. A graduate of the internationally renowned National Institute of Dramatic Arts (NIDA) in Sydney, Australia, Simcoe holds an MFA in drama, with a specialty in actor training, as well as degrees from universities and acting schools in Australia and Europe. He also lectures for NIDA.
