Darbus

Darbus, is a character in Twilight Princess. He is Gor Coron's successor as the Patriarch of the Gorons, and as such, it is his duty, along with the four Goron Elders, to oversee and protect the Goron Mines, as well as the Fused Shadow that rests inside. He is very proud, and can be easily offended. As a result, Gor Coron refrains from telling him that Link saved him from the power of the Fused Shadow, as he would react badly to the fact that he was saved by a human. Despite this, he is still willing to help Link later in the game when he has to retrieve Ilia's memory. He is much larger than most other Gorons in the game, and is notable for his physical strength.

Biography
Darbus is the patriarch of the Goron tribe of Death Mountain. It is revealed by Gor Coron that, before Link arrived at Death Mountain, Darbus entered the Goron Mines to investigate the odd volcanic activity, as well as make sure that the Fused Shadow was safe. However, when he touched it, he transformed into a monster known as Fyrus, and began to rampage through the mines, causing a lot of damage, as well as making the eruptions of the mountain more intense. Because of this, the four Goron Elders were forced to seal him away deep inside the mines, and split the key that unlocked the door to his prison into three shards, each given to one of the Goron Elders (with the exception Gor Coron, who remained to lead the Gorons during Darbus' absence). After Link completes the Goron Mines and defeats Fyrus, he transforms back into Darbus again, apparently having no recollection of what just happened.

Later in the game, Darbus visits the Sanctuary in Kakariko Village to try and help to restore Ilia's memory, due to fact that she is an acquaintance of Link. If Link speaks to him after obtaining the Wooden Statue he will say that he is willing to help him, and, ironically, laughs at the idea that Link would be able to help him in turn. When Link shows the statue to Ilia, Gor Coron remembers that the tribe who created it lived in a Hidden Village, that was blocked of by a rockslide. He then says that it is no problem for a Goron, and nods at Darbus, who goes ahead to clear a path. When Link arrives at the entrance to the Hidden Village, Darbus, having already cleared away the rockslide, will warn him about the group of Bulbins that now inhabit the place, as well as give him tips on how to defeat them all.

Trivia

 * Darbus bears many similarities with Darunia from Ocarina of Time. They are both the leaders of the Gorons in their respective games, they have similar names, and they both enter their associated dungeons (the Fire Temple and the Goron Mines) in the hope to resolve the problems taking place within them (Volvagia's revival and Death Mountain's odd behavior).
