Aknot
Aknot was the leader of the Mangalores in 2263. Brutish and sadistic, he was nonetheless far more patient and intelligent than his army of dimwitted men. Aknot was contacted by Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg to steal a case of four sacred stones from a Mondoshawan ship approaching Earth, in exchange for several crates of Zorg's experiment ZF1 guns. The Mangalores failed but Aknot insisted, "We risked our lives. I believe a little compensation is in order!" Zorg agreed and gave him one caseload of ZF1s. However all of Aknot's party but him were killed when an overly curious Mangalore activated his ZF1's self-destruct button, blowing them all up.
Badly injured, Aknot vowed revenge on Zorg, placing his second in command Akanit in charge from now on. The Mangalores planned to go to Fhloston Paradise to steal the sacred stones from the Diva Plavalaguna to use to extort Zorg. Aknot went with them. When the attack on Fhloston went sour thanks to the intervention of Korben Dallas and Leeloo and Akanit incapacitated, Aknot retook command and held Father Vito Cornelius hostage in the hotel's control room. He then demanded a negotiator. Dallas responded by entering and shooting Aknot in the forehead, killing him instantly.
Comments
- In the script, Aknot does not go to Fhloston Paradise with Akanit. He is too injured to go with him and remains on Earth and it is Akanit who is shot in the head and killed by Dallas.
