Biography
When Link first approaches Impa's home in Kakariko Village, Dorian and his fellow guard Cado will take a defensive stance and demand he identify himself. However, once they notice the Sheikah Slate in Link's possession, the two relax their stances and Dorian apologizes. He will explain that Impa informed them about the swordsman and asks that Link head inside to meet with her. Cado and Dorian will step aside to allow Link passage and Dorian express how long Impa has been waiting. While he wishes to speak to Link as well, he asks that the hero first see the elder.

Dorian implores Link to use the Village's resources to his advantage. He also mentions the Ta'loh Naeg Shrine above the Village, as well as the Great Fairy Fountain, which he refers to as the location of the Village's guardian spirit. Dorian admits that he is too nervous to try to contact the Great Fairy himself, but recommends that Link search for her.

Once Link has spoken to Impa, Dorian and Cado will begin to take shifts guarding the elder's home. Cado will return to his post at 11:00 PM in the evening, allowing Dorian to go home at midnight to his daughters, Koko and Cottla. At home, Dorian will take a seat and remove his hat. He explains that his wife was murdered by the Yiga. He mourns her death, as well as his inability to protect her. At some point, Dorian will fall asleep in his chair. Although the girls will wake up and leave at 5:00 AM, they avoid waking their father. At 8:00 AM, he will wake up and go to tell his daughters stories. However, he admits that those stories are always the same. If Link speaks to the family while they are under a Tree, Dorian will introduce his girls. While he loves their time together, he admits that he only ends up repeating stories to them. If Link asks about these stories, Dorian will share one of them. Quietly, he'll admit to Link that he is talking about where the Village's guardian is and that he is trying to keep the girls from going there. However, it only seems to work on Koko, as Cottla instead gets excited. At 11:00 AM, the girls run off and Dorian returns to Impa's home.

When Paya's heirloom is stolen by the Yiga, Dorian sneaks out of the village to confront the thief and is, unknown to him, followed by Link. After the Yiga thief is defeated Dorian reveals that he used to be part of the Yiga himself before he met his wife. Dorian tried to change his ways and leave the Yiga for the Sheikah, but the Yiga killed his wife in retaliation. With the lives of his children on the line Dorian served as an informant within the Sheikah for the Yiga, including telling them about Link. Filled with grief, he eventually decided to cut ties with the Yiga completely, but the Yiga threatened the lives of Impa and Paya as well. After the Yiga who stole Paya's heirloom is defeated and Link uses it to open Lakna Rokee Shrine, Dorian offers his apologies and asks that Link keeps it a secret for his children's sake.
