Online:Drakeeh the Unchained

thumb|right|Trophy of Drakeeh's head
Drakeeh the Unchained is the Naga leader of the Blackguards and a descendant of one of the prisoners held at the brutal Blackrose Prison. Now he has turned the prison into his base of operations and his gauntlet, where he pits people against his best soldiers (and then himself if they can manage to get that far) for entertainment, as well as to settle disputes with anyone who challenges his rule.

He has kidnapped a former member of the Blackguards, Pimaxi-Taeed, who you must rescue during the related quest. He wields a two-handed greatsword, and you will face him during the fifth and final round of The Black Gauntlet, where you'll find out exactly why he's the leader of the Blackguards.

Skills and Abilities
;Spirit Ignition: Drakeeh will select six ghosts for him to use in his next ability. Players must absorb the ghosts with golden circles around them and cleanse themselves at one of the ritual stones in the arena. Spirit Ignition also applies an enemy AoE around all players, as well as does some initial damage.  If player AoEs are touching when Spirit Ignition wears off after 6 seconds, then all overlapping players cause each other to take a large burst of damage.  If a player is not touching another player's AoE, then no damage occurs.
;Spirit Scream: A few moments after marking the ghosts, Drakeeh will attempt to absorb them and cause a massive explosion. If the players have cleansed all of the ghosts, this ability does little damage, but if any of the ghosts are up, this ability will deal increased damage for each ghost he has absorbed.
;Negate: After Spirit Scream, Drakeeh will set a negate down around him. This ability can be very easily avoided, and deals plenty of damage while you're standing inside of it, so try not to stand in it.
;Summon Shadow Proxy: Drakeeh can summon shades of himself that have all the same abilities as the main boss.
;Void: Drakeeh channels a dark spell that must be interrupted. If he is allowed to cast it, the spell will explode on the ground and send three small aoes flying out, which deal a lot of damage.
;Charged Leap: Drakeeh will target one player, leap into the air and drive his sword into the ground. Roll-dodge or block this ability; it deals a lot of damage. After he lands, stones will fly into the air around him and deal moderate damage to anyone nearby.
;Cleave: Drakeeh will channel a frontal cleave with his sword. This does a massive amount of damage, so make sure the tank has Drakeeh taunted so they can absorb the damage.
