History
The Burning Crusade
By the time of the invasion of Outland, the spirit of Akil'zon was chained by Zul'jin in Zul'Aman, where Hex Lord Malacrass stole his essence and imbued it into one of the Amani's most talented shamans.[3] The loa was later freed when adventurers killed the chieftain troll.
Wrath of the Lich King
During the war against the Lich King, Akil'zon appeared with the other Amani gods in Zul'Drak, directing the adventurer to the leopard goddess, Har'koa.[4] The Amani gods also tasked the adventurer to defeat the guardians at the Altar of Quetz'lun and kill the Prophet of Akali.[5]
Cataclysm
Following the Cataclysm, Akil'zon appeared once again in Zul'Aman where his spirit was chained by Daakara. He was later freed when Daakara was killed.
Battle for Azeroth
A Disciple of Akil'zon is present in Tal'aman, the Amani tribe's enclave in Zuldazar.

Notes
- As the Dungeon Journal says that this was initially the name of the troll, either the spirit took the name of its host in Zul'Drak, or the host was named after the loa to start with. The spirits near the final boss of Zul'Aman are nameless, possibly hinting that they did not initially have names.
- However, the act of a loa adopting its hosts' name would be fairly odd, as the Amani loa would have been the only ones in history to have done so, in that case, as all other loa have their own names that they are referred to by other loa, trolls, and their worshippers.
- His name is similar to the loa Akil'darah.
- Considering that the image of an eagle is heavily featured all throughout Zul'Aman and even on the banners of the Amani tribe, Akil'zon can be the most important member of their pantheon.
