Story

Alternative biography Lost Lore

The following biography appeared on the official (now-defunct) 3DO website:

Dracon is the son of Bracada's most famous female dragon slayer. Those who have met Dracon have referred to him as a young man of 'aggressive wisdom' beyond his years, and aspirations fitting his age.
After his initial studies under his mother, Dracon's mother sent her son to learn magic in the ivory towers of Bracada’s capital. A notorious rebel within the school, by age fourteen, Dracon had mastered the basics of all four schools of magic. With nothing more to learn, and disillusioned by the school and teachers who could not teach him more, Dracon set off across the continent of Antagrich to learn from the secluded masters who originated many of the spells now taught in magic schools. In the eight years Dracon roamed the continent, there is much myth and legend about his travels. One of the more popular is a rumored two-year period during which Dracon served with Gelu in Erathian special forces company named Forestguard.

Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

Dracon's special ability is formidable. Even so powerful that he is typically disabled in custom made maps. While you should have no reasonable difficulty using Dracon as a main hero during the single player campaign, he could also be used as an Enchanter-upgrading-support-hero sitting in a town garrison or following your main hero.

He is featured in the Dragon Slayer campaign from Armageddon's Blade, taking appearance in all four scenarios as the main hero.

In the Dragon Slayer campaign, he managed to slay all kinds of dragons, from Faerie Dragons to Azure Dragons, accomplishing only what veteran Dragon Slayers could.

According to Jennifer Bullard's development documents, Dracon is the one who finally slayed Mutare the Dragon Queen in one-on-one combat. He did not survive the battle, but still freed the dragons from Mutare's influence and was also going to be remembered as the greatest Dragon Slayer of all time.

In Russian, Drakon and Dracon have the same name spelling (Дракон, Drakon), since letters C and K are transliterated in the same way, namely as K (e.g. Korbac is "Корбак", Korbak, in Russian).
