Don Paragon

"Dramatic, harrowing, tragic! A fiery escape... dreams up in smoke... I love it! I hate it! But, progress is still progress, and this was definitely progress despite your defeat. Every noble venture is bound to endure setbacks. It's like that thing I always say about myself. Back in the early days of the Oasis when I bravely endeavored to stumble upon the only water source for miles, to establish my very own highfalutin utopia, what was my most important quality? Yes, you, in the front. (Skout: Uh... persistence?) (Jethro: Lookin' sharp?) (Santi: A modest loan with a reasonable interest rate?) Being first. Which is exactly what we are going to do now. We're going to nab that magical monster before anyone else can get their grubby little hands on him. The question is: How do we do it?"

- Don Paragon's speech to the Dandy Lions.

Don Paragon is the main antagonist and big bad of the Rooster Teeth animated web series Nomad of Nowhere. He is the greedy and tyrannical leader of the Oasis and boss to Toth and the Dandy Lions, as well as a servant to the king El Ray.

He is voiced by Max Dennison.

Past
In his past (presumably as an adventurer), Don Paragon discovered a rich abundance of water out in the desert. He claimed the territory as his own and set up the Oasis, a thriving town that sold food and water to people. However, he also heavily taxed the people of the Oasis and gave his minions permission to exercise violence to enforce the law. His relation to the king of the land, El Ray, is currently unknown.

Season 1
In "The Dreaded Nomad", Toth, the Dandy Lions, and Red Manuel are sent out by Don paragon to catch the mysterious Nomad, who El Ray wants. After not making much progress, they finally find him, but he gets away.

In "Bliss Hill", the Dandy Lions return to the Oasis empty-handed, leaving Don Paragon disappointed. However, he is glad that the Nomad has at least been found. Though he doubts Toth's ability, Red Manuel suggests he offer a larger bounty for the Nomad, allowing them to have more people looking for him. Paragon likes the idea and agrees to it, then sends the Dandy Lions on their way.

Personality
Don Paragon is immensely egotistical and greedy, caring mostly about spoiling himself. He cruelly taxes and charges without remorse, and uses the influx of gold and money he receives to buy himself fancy outfits and furnishings for his palace in the Oasis. He is also shown to be crafty and cunning, and devises plans and schemes to get what he wants. He is extravagant as well, having a strong taste for theatrics and drama and likes to add his own personal touch to the events around him. Despite all of this, he is loyal to the king, though it is unknown if this is out of respect or because the king supports his aristocracy.
