Movie
Description
Titus Drautos captained the Kingsglaive, the elite guard protecting King Regis and Lucis. He demanded unwavering discipline from his soldiers, viewing respect as something earned only through intense effort. As a mentor, he personally trained Nyx Ulric in combat.
Drautos originated from a small village in the northeastern archipelago of Cavaugh. He lost his home and family during a Niflheim invasion three decades prior. Orphaned, he was taken in by King Regis. This history of loss fueled a deep-seated resentment towards Regis, whom he perceived as passively remaining within Insomnia's walls instead of actively defending Lucian territories.
Drautos concealed a secret identity: General Glauca, supreme commander of Niflheim's imperial forces. Clad in advanced liquid metal armor that enhanced his physical capabilities and endurance, Glauca operated with callous brutality, prioritizing battlefield results above all. He murdered Queen Sylva of Tenebrae during Niflheim's attack on Fenestala Manor years earlier. His alliance with the empire stemmed from their promise to liberate his occupied homeland, driving his betrayal of Lucis.
During the events of Niflheim's false peace treaty, Drautos manipulated the Kingsglaive from within. He ordered soldier Crowe Altius on a mission to escort Princess Lunafreya, resulting in Crowe's death and fueling dissent. He later assigned Nyx as Lunafreya's protector while simultaneously orchestrating her abduction as Glauca. As Niflheim invaded Insomnia, Drautos disappeared, reappearing as Glauca to confront Regis. He killed the king's Shield, Clarus Amicitia, severed the Ring of the Lucii from Regis's hand, and ultimately killed Regis himself after the Wall fell.
In the invasion's aftermath, Drautos lured Nyx and Lunafreya into a trap. Libertus Ostium intervened, exposing Drautos's dual identity. In the ensuing confrontation, Nyx used the Ring of the Lucii's power to animate the Old Wall statues, engaging Drautos in a destructive battle across Insomnia. Despite his enhanced abilities as Glauca, Drautos was mortally wounded when Nyx stabbed him through the chest with a kukri blade. Though his death was not explicitly shown, he was never referenced again, and Ravus Nox Fleuret succeeded him as Niflheim's high commander.
Drautos's personality was defined by relentless determination and fixation on the past. He saw Nyx as a kindred spirit due to their shared history of loss, attempting to sway him to Niflheim's cause by leveraging their mutual desire for home and freedom. This complex relationship underscored his belief that any betrayal was warranted to achieve his ends, cementing his role as the driven antagonist whose actions catalyzed Lucis's fall.
