Vikarna

विकर्ण · vikarṇa

One of the hundred Kaurava brothers

One Kaurava stood up in the dice hall and said this was wrong.

When Draupadi asked the assembly whether she had been lawfully won and the elders kept silent, Vikarna, a younger brother of Duryodhana, spoke up. He argued that she had not been won at all. Karna shouted him down. Vikarna still fought for his brothers when war came. Bhima, who had sworn to kill all hundred, killed him too, and grieved over it.
