Background[]

Draven grew up as an orphan on the streets ofBasilichuntil his hometown was conquered byNoxus. He and his brotherDariusjoined the Noxian army, but Draven grew steadily more bored with the drudgery of soldier life. Instead, he was drawn to the excitement of theReckoners' gladiator arena. After playing an instrumental role inSwain's coup overBoram Darkwill, Draven was appointed the Glorious Executioner, punishing the enemies of Noxus with spectacular deaths.

Appearance[]

Draven is a tall, muscular man with fair skin and dark brown or black hair. He is variously portrayed with either brown, gray, or green eyes. His body and face are decorated with reddish tattoos, a series of thick, angular lines. He is virtually never seen without his signature facial hair: a long, thin mustache that extends past his jawline.

He typically wears light leather armor, accented with metal spikes and white fur. His weapons of choice are a pair of large, spinning axes meant for throwing.

Personality[]

With a knack for spectacle and showmanship, Draven is a bombastic, blustering personality and a famous crowd-pleaser during his gladiatorial "performances." He is brash and impulsive, often acting purely on instinct. In addition, he is almost cartoonishly arrogant, loving himself and the sound of his own name with extreme passion. As such, he often refers to himself in the third person. He is also a remorseless killer, executing his opponents in the ring with no hesitation.

Abilities[]

Tamara[]

Lulu&Tristana[]

Riven[]

Draven seesRivenas a mighty warriorworthy of his timein The Fleshing Arena.

“Here, doodad,” she whispers to the grass. “Pretty please, with sprinkles on top!
