Description
Drakon is a character from the anime Magi: The Kingdom of Magic, known for his imposing, dragon-like appearance and his deep loyalty as one of the Eight Generals of the Sindria Kingdom. His background reveals that he was not always a reptilian figure; he was originally born a human named Dragul Nol Henrius Gobias Menudias Partenuvonomias Dumid Os Kortanon. He hails from the Parthevia Empire, where his family served as generals for generations. As a child, he shared a close bond with the First Imperial Princess, Serendine Dikumenowlz Du Parthevia, whom he followed devotedly. By the age of fourteen, he had risen to the rank of Commander Officer in the Parthevia Army.
In terms of personality, Drakon is characterized by a strong sense of sincerity, duty, and patriotism. Sinbad himself has noted that despite his fearsome exterior, Drakon was once a very sincere man. He holds honor and his obligations to his homeland in the highest regard, and he greatly disapproved of the political machinations of his own brother, Barbarossa. This serious and dedicated nature often put him at odds with Sinbad during their first encounters, as Drakon initially viewed the free-spirited adventurer as an insolent expatriate who disrespected military protocol. Despite his stern facade, he is known to have a weakness for his wife, and his hobbies include the stern task of training subordinates.
Drakon's primary motivations are deeply rooted in his desire to protect and serve. Initially, his actions were driven by a need to bring power to the Parthevia Emperor and to save his country from its war with the Reim Empire. However, on a more personal level, his quest for strength was fueled by his feelings for Princess Serendine. He was tormented by his own powerlessness when his brother entered a loveless political engagement with the princess, and his determination to become strong enough to return to her side gave him the will to stand up even in the face of overwhelming defeat. Over time, his loyalty shifted from Parthevia to Sinbad, whom he eventually accepted as his master and king.
In the story, Drakon serves as a key member of Sinbad's inner circle. He is one of the Eight Generals who govern and protect the prosperous Sindria Kingdom. His role as a leader continues to the point that, after Sinbad steps down from the throne to lead the International Alliance, Drakon succeeds him as the ruler of Sindria. A defining aspect of his role is his status as the first member of Sinbad's Household. This bond was forged when, after entering the dungeon of Baal, Sinbad's djinn's power entered Drakon's earring, creating the first ever Household Vessel.
Key relationships define much of Drakon's journey. His relationship with Sinbad began as a rivalry, with the two fighting each other for the right to claim the djinn Baal. After Sinbad's victory, Drakon gradually came to respect and follow him, eventually becoming one of his most trusted retainers. His relationship with Serendine is one of lifelong devotion, having served her since childhood. He was forced to flee the Parthevia Empire with her during an internal strife, during which he fully assimilated with his Household Vessel to protect her. Later in his life, he marries a woman named Sahel, a former handmaiden to Serendine, and it is noted that he is quite susceptible to her influence.
Drakon undergoes a profound physical and psychological development throughout the narrative. He was once a handsome human with long dark green hair, but due to a desperate struggle to save Serendine, he offered more and more of himself to the power of his Household Vessel. This led to complete assimilation, permanently transforming his body into that of a green-skinned, dragon-like being from which he could not return to his human state. This transformation is permanent, and he maintains this monstrous appearance for most of the story until the end, when the world is rid of Metal Vessels, allowing him to revert to his human form at last. His development is a journey from a rigid, honor-bound soldier of a militaristic empire to a loyal and integral leader of a diverse and prosperous kingdom.
Regarding his notable abilities, Drakon wields the power of the djinn Baal through his Household Vessel, which is fused with his earring. By drawing on this power, he can perform feats of immense strength and combat prowess. Unlike many other Household Vessel users, Drakon immersed himself so deeply into this power that he reached a state of full assimilation, which is the direct cause of his dragon-like physique and abilities.
