Constantine Drakon

Origin

Drakon's history is not well known, he has hinted about coming from a rich family. He discovered his skill for killing at the age of ten, when he apparently killed his family's gardener, just to find out what it felt like to kill someone. Drakon also stated that people use to pick on his small size as a child but after he killed someone these petty name callings did not seem to matter anymore. He became a master at his art of killing, even calling himself a prodigy. The only path left in his eyes was to become an assassin and so his life of killing began.
