Prince Dethrix Drakath II, better known as Drakath Slugwrath, is the former Champion of Chaos as well as the prince of the fallen kingdom of Dreadhaven and leader of the Darkwolf Bandits, a collection of thugs who previously served as soldiers to his father. As the Champion of Chaos, he was the leader of the Thirteen Lords of Chaos and the main antagonist of the 13 Lords of Chaos Saga, until being succeeded by the Queen of Monsters in the Ancient Evils Saga.
He was the son of the terrible and tyrannical King Slugwrath, who ruled Dreadhaven before he was overthrown by a noble knight named Sir Alteon. Drakath was, for a time, under the employment of Sepulchure, in which he sought to reclaim his family's royalty by becoming King of Swordhaven. His exact where-abouts were unknown for a long time, but it was revealed he was atop of Mount DoomSkull.
After opening the Chaos Portal and setting the Queen of Monsters free on Lore, Drakath was rewarded by being stripped of his Chaos powers. He swore a new war against her from his new dominion of Crownsreach, with his subjects now being a militia formed of the few still loyal to him.
History
Background
For generations the Drakath bloodline ruled the kingdom Greenguard with an iron fist, but it was his father, King Dethrix Drakath II, who did so the cruelest. By Uniting monsters of the world under his Alliance of Underlords, King Dethrix conquered most kingdoms and united a previously chaotic and warring Lore under his servitude.
But despite having so much power, it still was not enough for Drakath, he wanted more, and to achieve that he made contact with the Queen of Monsters, an ancient and mighty being imprisoned in another realm and that could only be unsealed by someone directly related to her, like a son. For that he needed first to summon, through a painful ritual for all involved, a fragment of her from beyond and inside a mortal woman who would serve as its vessel.
Dethrix had common women kidnapped from the streets to be brought to the castle and used for the summoning ritual. The court mages impregnated several women through magic and none worked, only ever producing dead babies, with the exception of one homeless woman called Ophelia, who gave birth to a healthy boy who housed in him a fragment of the Queen.[2]
Ophelia fought back when the court mages took the boy from her but it was in vain, Dethrix ordered that she be kept alive in case she was needed again, a process that was arduous on the mages and required a steady supply of prisoners from the dungeons as well as several forbidden spells known only to the court mages.[3]
King Dethrix adopted the boy and named him after himself: Dethrix Drakath II. Despite him looking nothing like either his brown-haired and gray-eyed father nor his blonde and brown-eyed wife, Queen Eleanor, who had disappeared from the public eyes for months, King Dethrix claimed to the masses that the boy was his own biological son and that Eleanor died giving birth to him. An hour-long funeral was held for Queen Eleanor.[4]
In the following years, young Dethrix was raised to be unquestionably loyal to his father, no matter how sadistic he was or how little love he gave him in the brief times they would see each other. Yet still King Drakath feared his son overthrowing him and made sure he did not learn swordsmanship too fast by way of punishing his tutors if he got too skillful and punishing him if he was learning too slowly, even threatening to kill him during outbursts of rage that had to be stopped by court mages.[5] But still Prince Drakath kept his loyalty and admiration for his father, excusing his abuse and lying to himself, such as swearing his father did not push him down the stairs and causing him to break an arm, but just stumbled on him.[6]
One of the few more positive occasions when Prince Drakath and his father met was at galas the king held for the nobility, although one time Dethrix II ended up making his father "look like a fool" when he attempted to show him what his tutors taught him, causing the king to wail on him and Dethrix to cry.[7]
Downfall
Fed up with the tyranny of King Drakath I, Sir Alteon united the peasantry in armed rebellion and stormed the castle of Dreadhaven.
Life as a Bandit
Gathered with whatever was left of the knights and nobles that were either loyal to his father or too cruel to be pardoned by Alteon, Dethrix II, dethroned and disgraced, felt himself undeserving of the name Dethrix, opting to go by simply "Drakath". He would only use his first name again when he is "worthy" of it.[8]
Times were tough, none of the bandits who served Drakath respected nor feared him.
Working Under Sepulchure
In his quest for vegeance Drakath learned of a new villain who was raising an army of Darkness and reuniting the Underlords that had been forced into hiding: the DoomLord Sepulchure - master of Liches, Death Knights, Undead and Darkness.
At the time Drakath did not him to be Sir Valen and allied himself and his bandits with the DoomLord who found him "immesurably useful". The name "Drakath" has weight and would be useufl in convincing other evils to join the Shadowscythe, and that it did. Xan the Pyromancer, Sek-Duat the Mummy, and most importantly to Sepulchure's cause, Noxus the Lich.
Drakath was entrusted with the knowledge of Sepulchure's plans to destroy the world and with the quest for the Dragon Egg that would bring about this goal.
He later asks Xan, the insane pyromancer, to destroy the city of Falconreach to get back at the humiliation of being defeated by the Hero of Dragonfable and have the Black Dragon Box taken from him. This was the start of the called the Wrath of Xan, which nearly destroyed all of Falconreach.
Drakath later steals the wind orb for Sepulchure. He uses it to defeat the DragonFable hero, but before he could finish the hero off, the orb sweeps him away. He later has to face him again, but the wind orb failed to give him power, thus he was defeated by the hero. As a result he loses the orb.
He then went into hiding and was quiet for a time. As the forces of good and evil squared off in a final confrontation between King Alteon and Sepulchure, Drakath descended upon them and defeated both single-handedly as he revealed himself to them. He had become consumed by the forces of chaos and had acquired immense strength and power. He revealed that with his corruption, he now rules as the leader of the 13 Lords Of Chaos, an organization who's goal is to end the world in chaos and destruction. Alteon lay defeated and distraught, but was shown mercy by Drakath Sepulchure however, was killed by him after conversing that Drakath could never defeat him. He heard the cries of a young woman as what was left of Sepulchure erupted into the sky. It was then that he found out the Doom Knight's secret was that he had a daughter named Gravelyn. Drakath shot down Sepulchure's giant flying Dracolich Fortress, with his daughter still inside.
13 Lords of Chaos
After that encounter, Drakath then prepared his 13 Lords of Chaos to attack Lore and unleash each Beast of Chaos. When the players end up captured by the Collector, they end up encountering a younger Drakath alongside They Might Be Giants.
Drakath later Chaorrupted the players to become the 13th Lord of Chaos. After the players rebel against Drakath, he ends up slaying them in their form of The Eternal Dragon of Time. Gravelyn leads her forces and the Skyguard to Mount Doomskull where she ends up crashing her Dracolich fortress near the gate. Upon arriving at Mount Doomskull, the players save Gravelyn and fight Drakath, where they have the powers of Death and the Eternal Dragon of Time. The players manage to chop off Drakath's wing as he claims that he doesn't need that wing to destroy the players. Drakath then summons Desolich to him as the players fight the Chaos Soldiers. After the players get Gravelyn onto Stratos' ship, the Skyguard begins to target Drakath as Drakath Chaorrupts some Skyguard soldiers into Chaoruppted Skyguard. Sally unleashes a rebuilt Vordred to help fight Drakath. It does not go well, as Drakath easily defeats Vordred. Upon riding a Chaos Dragon to Desolich, the players fight Drakath again. When Desolich tries to chomp down on the players, they break free as Drakath shoots down a Chaos Dragon. The players then fight their way past the Chaos Dracoliches. During the players's fight with Drakath, he falls into the area where Khasaanda and Escherion's frog form are imprisoned. Khasaanda states to Drakath that he mustn't enter the Chaos Realm. Drakath then kills Khasaanda and Escherion's frog form stating that the Queen of All Monsters must rise upon all 13 Lords of Chaos being killed. After the players defeated a Chaos Warrior, a Chaos Soldier, and a Chaos Bandit, Drakath assumes a secondary appearance and fights the players.
When Drakath enters the Chaos Gate and has the Chaos powers drained from him, Artix and Gravelyn give the players some of their powers where they must sacrifice the powers of the Eternal Dragon of Time in order to enter the Chaos Realm. Once there, the Queen of All Monsters gives Drakath the power to bring back the entire 13 Lords of Chaos to attack the players. After the players bested their Chaos counterpart, the players confront Drakath and fight him once more. Upon the players defeating Drakath, the Queen of All Monsters speaks to Drakath in his mind that he is her salvation and that she is leaving him behind. The players learn from Drakath that the Queen of All Monsters is already on Lore and that the Chaos Titans are rising in a plot to rule all of Lore. Drakath states that he is now fighting against the players and the Queen of All Monsters in order to make Chaos bow to him. Back on Lore, the Queen of All Monsters has risen and new lands are being formed.
Crownsreach
At his new lair at Crownsreach, Drakath is brought out of his slump by his right-hand woman, Cemaros, who advises that Drakath gets his castle a makeover. Voltaire is hired by Drakath and Cemaros in order to do a makeover of Drakath's new lair. The players were brought along with Voltaire because Deady was unavailable. Voltaire presents Drakath and Cemaros with the statue of the ancient deity Shub'hathrys from Necronus which Drakath accidentally awakens. Shub'hathrys goes on a rampage, unleashing Eldritch Parasites and Crawling Oozes as the player work to calm down the Panicking Villagers. After the players bested Shub'hathrys, who regresses back to a statue, Drakath vows not to touch it again while Cemaros states that Drakath will when he unleashes it on an unsuspecting world, which Drakath didn't want Cemaros to tell the players. Voltaire is hooked up with some marketing people to promote his Gothic Castlekeeping service, with Drakath featured in the issue.

Trivia
- He had a "pet" named Krakhim.
- Drakath is not one of the 13 Lords of Chaos, he is their leader.
- Drakath was an Undead Dragon in AdventureQuest.
- The reason that Drakath killed Sepulchure might be because his master ordered him to, probably because he was not useful anymore.
- It is also possible that he could be controlled, or chaorrupted, by the Chaos, and used only as a puppet.
- His master is the Mother of All Monsters, who also gives him his chaos powers.
- His armor is purple and grey, which is a combination of the primary colors of Swordhaven and Shadowfall, blue and white and red and black, respectively.
- The sword he used as a bandit is the Dragonlord's Loss, a sword forged by Cysero to celebrate a Dragonlord's most recent victory, but was stolen by Drakath on the way to him.[9]
- Quibble stated that Chaos Lord 13 is already at his side waiting for The Hero.
- That is, until it is later revealed that the Hero is the 13th Lord of Chaos.
- Although not mentioned much, but Artix once confirmed on the Battleon forum that Drakath and Victoria were in love when Drakath was the leader of the Darkwolf bandits.
