Hagorn is one of the main antagonists of the Philippine fantasy series Encantadia 2016 and Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre produced by GMA Network. He is played by John Arcilla.
Profile[]
Hagorn became the king of Hathoria after Arvak got killed in the war against Sapiro. He was Mine-a's fiancé and Raquim's best friend. After Hagorn dies at the hands of Raquim, and Balaak is then ruled by Hagorn as the former god Arde defeated.
Personality[]
Hagorn was once a kind Encantado. Everything changed when Mine-a chose to be the Queen of Lireo rather than marrying him. However, he showed a measure of reservation when Hathoria went through its power-grabbing campaign throughout Encantadia, and was visibly disquieted when his father Arvak opted to assault Lireo next, where Hagorn's most beloved Mine-a and their offspring resides. He adapted the ambitious and unjust views of his father Arvak. This personality of his intensified after Mine-a cursed the entire Hathoria. Still, like Mine-a had said, there is still a small spot in his heart that contains the kindness he once showed, one that she hopes would resurface once again, for their daughter Pirena's sake. This was shown when he met Pirena in her adolescent stage and tried to abduct her but after her dama revealed that she is the first born of Mine-a, he didn't continue and left.
Appearance and Outfits[]
2016[]

Hagorn had a youthful appearance at the beginning of the series. When Mine-a cursed the Hathors, Hagorn's appearance heavily changed. His face became older and had red lines around his face. He also has black circles under his eyes.
Hagorn wears a long gray vest with a black-high neck and red armor underneath and a black cape on his waist, black pants and red knee-high boots. He also has a red genji shoulder armor in each sides and wears a matching red gauntlets and black and gray iron gloves. He now wields a short sword and a small gunblade.

2025[]
Hagorn's outfit in Balaak is defined by a fierce, dark, featuring a jagged, spiked crown, dark robes or cloaks, and menacing red stripes of makeup across his face, all saturated in red light to emphasize his evil, tyrannical nature as the former king of Hathoria. The question about the Devas symbols in the headgear relates to the larger lore: the Devas Circle of Spirituality is associated with the Gem of Air and faith (Emre), with the Devas Circle of Emotion is linked to the Gem of Fire and passion (Arde). While both are simply philosophical principles, the Circle of Emotion is most closely associated with the "dark" side, as its related god, Arde, is known to manipulate emotions and drive Encantados toward negative or evil actions.
Story[]
Encantadia (2016)[]
The four gems Arc[]
Hagorn is the prince of Hathoria. Supporting all his father's plans to make Hathoria the most powerful kingdom in Encantadia. Hagorn was present in the war against Sapiro and Lireo; he fought Raquim. Raquim managed to knock Hagorn unconscious. When Hagorn regained consciousness, he looked for Raquim only to find his father dead. Hagorn was enraged and demanded to know the identity of the one who killed his father. Asval came out of nowhere telling him that Raquim is the one who killed his father. Hagorn and the surviving Hathors performed the farewell rites to King Arvak. Hagorn then became king of Hathoria vowing to avenge his father's death. Through Gurna, Hagorn is able to get information on what is going on in Lireo, such as Amihan's birth. When Hagorn found out Amihan is the daughter of Raquim, Hagorn ordered Gurna to kill Amihan, giving her his dagger. This plan however, failed and an important evidence was left. Mine-a recognized the dagger and went to Hathoria to confront Hagorn. The two share a short talk before Mine-a used all the four gems to curse Hathoria. When everything had calmed down, Hagorn gathered the remaining survivors of Hathoria. He hysterically dashed out of the kingdom after realizing their appearances and the destruction caused by the curse.
Ether granting power to Hagorn.
In the woods near Hathoria, Hagorn met Ether. Ether offered him a deal to give him power and strength to be able to combat the powers of the four elemental gems in exchange that he would cause chaos and dispute in Encantadia. Hagorn accepted after the emotional damage he received feeling hurt and angry of the treatment Mine-a gave to the Hathors. Without a brilyante in hand, Hagorn was left with the option of developing weapons to use against Lireo. One day, to his surprise, Pirena came in Hathoria seeking for an alliance. With the Brilyante ng Apoy returned to Hathoria's possession, the Hathors were able to wage a war against Lireo only to retreat later because the Fire Gem cannot overpower the other three gems. Hagorn let Pirena make a move against the Diwatas but he didn't let his daughter move alone so he ordered Agane to kill Amihan but Agane came back with the news that Mine-a was the one killed by an encantado (later revealed to be Asval).

He returns the Brilyante ng Apoy to her hoping that she will use it to save him, and go against her sisters once more. Pirena did not give in yet to his demands. She asked him to hand over the Brilyante ng Diwa. Hagorn gives in and summons the gem passing it on to Danaya.

Muros then commanded his troops to take Hagorn to Lireo while he is still unconscious. Initially he was sentenced to death, but after many argues made by the Sang'gres, his sentence was lowered down to lifetime imprisonment. The sisters hoped that he would be sorry for all the sins he's done after the sentence.

When Hagorn was about to leave Etheria, Ether gave back the sword that she gave Hagorn which he used during the Hadezar Arc.

Powers and Abilities[]
- Teleportation - Temporary ability was granted to Hagorn when he obtained the Ikalimang Brilyante (Brilyante ng Diwa). He possessed this ability upon the return of the sword Ether gave him, the Bertud. He got back the sword called Bertud that Ether gave him. After he died, he couldn't teleport on his own. But thanks to the blessings from Arde, Ether, and Gargan on his sword, he can now teleport. It usually shows up with dark smoke and violet chaos energy.
- Dark Energy Blasts - A powerful ability granted by Bathalang Gargan. The user can emit strong dark energy and smoke to attack or defend against enemies. Hagorn can also create a protective violet shield.
- Glamouring - Some fans believe that the Fire Gem gave him the power to permanently change his appearance, like when he became Pirena. This means he can now look like anyone or anything, even other living beings.
- Mind Control Immunity - In one episode, Hera Andora from Etheria uses her powers to read Hagorn's mind to locate Avria and learn about her demise. However, Hagorn possesses the ability to shield himself from such magical mind-reading attempts. This implies that Hagorn has a form of immunity to mind control, allowing him to resist Andora's psychic influence.
- Healing (formerly) - Temporary ability granted to Hagorn when he obtained the Ikalimang Brilyante (Brilyante ng Diwa).
- Replication (formerly) - The ability to create a replicate a person or any entity. He use this power to present an image of Mira, instilling fear in Pirena about the potential loss of her daughter. This occurred while he attempted to take the Brilyante ng Tubig from Pirena.
- Immunity - Ability granted to him by Ether; immunity against the Brilyantes' powers and also against LilaSari's curse. He is also not affected by Alena's powerful voice.
Hagorn being immune to the Brilyante ng Hangin's powers.
- Pyrokinesis - Hagorn has this ability even without the Brilyante ng Apoy in his possession, though not as powerful when he does keep the Fire Gem. He can project them through his staff as well.
Quotes[]
- To LilaSari: (Episode 108): Lubhang makapangyarihan ang kamay sapagkat dama nito ang sakit na idinudulot nito sa kalaban.
- To Amihan (Episode 109): Walang patas sa labanan, Amihan. Utak ang ginamit hindi ang puso."
Notes and Trivia[]
- Many fans mistakenly thought Hagorn became a Hadezar but Hagorn really did not, he was just given a Hadezar Armor by Arde.
- When Hagorn died and became an ivtre for him to speak with Arde and release all the undead Hathors (Hadezar) in Balaak, his body was not corrupted, his Ivtre returned to his body in time after coming from Balaak.
- Seeing that he doesn't really consider battle tactics to be an option and almost always ignores his men given to him, it's almost safe to say that Ether tricked him into being an easier opponent for the main cast to beat. Giving him access to 'stronger abilities' and unlimited troops that die in one or two hits only solidifies the fact.
- Hagorn's beard disappeared quickly after escaping from Lireo.
- Since Hagorn was killed by Raquim at the end of the series, John Arcilla now works in the rival network ABS-CBN where he portrays a main antagonistic role as the Defense Secretary of the Philippines Director Renato Hipolito in the action series "FPJ's Ang Probinsyano".
- The Brilyante ng Lupa is the only Gem he never got to wield.
- Unlike the original show where he was killed in the final battle and resurrected by Ether to bolster her forces, he remained an extant threat to Encantadia throughout the entirety of the succeeding show, with his permanent death at Raquim's hands taking place during the final battle.
- Unlike the original show where he wielded the Kabilan as his personal weapon, he did not even attempt to steal the Kabilan from Cassiopea in the succeeding show as he focused in attention on amassing the Brilyante instead.
- Unlike the original show where he wielded only two Gems and on different occasions, he wielded four of the five Gems at different stages of his conflict with the Sang'gre, and often wielded more than one at once.
- Unlike the original show where he merely provided assistance to Pirena in stealing the throne from Lireo, he advised Pirena on how to undermine public trust against Amihan in the succeeding show, exhibiting a more intimate and political approach in his methods.
- John Arcilla's nephew, Jay Arcilla, played as Ulmar in Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre.
