Dantrag Baenre Dantrag Baenre was a drow fighter , and the weapons master of House Baenre in Menzoberranzan . Description . A talented swordsman , Dantrag was unusually tall for a drow , closer to 6 ft ( 1 . 83 m ) than 5 ft , kept his white hair pulled up into a ponytail , and displayed watchful amber eyes , which blazed red when he was angered . Personality . Dantrag appeared to be an honorable warrior , preferring not to attack unarmed opponents or to strike from behind . However , this attitude was largely due to Dantrag ' s highly developed sense of pride ; he believed that no - one could best him in melee combat . Dantrag was the second - boy of House Baenre , behind his brother Gromph Baenre , the archmage of Menzoberranzan . However , he had no aspirations to usurp his brother ' s status . The only role he desired was that of Principle Master of Melee - Magthere , a position he was not allowed to acquire by his matron mother , Yvonnel Baenre , owing to his usefulness as weapons master of House Baenre . Relationships . Family . As a son of Yvonnel Baenre , Dantrag was related to many influential drow figures . His three most notable siblings were Triel Baenre , Quenthel Baenre , Jarlaxle of Bregan D ' aerthe , and Gromph Baenre the archmage . Dantrag also trained his brother Berg ' inyon , who was another warrior of notable skill ; he took his elder brother ' s place as weapons master after Dantrag was killed by Drizzt . Dantrag had a grandson named Tiago Baenre . Uthegental Del ' Armgo . Uthegentel Del ' Armgo , a skilled fighter , was considered Dantrag ' s greatest rival . History . Dantrag was considered the most formidable warrior in the city once Zaknafein was dead . Dantrag always envied Zaknafein ' s reputation , and had a great desire to best him in combat ; however , Zaknafein was sacrificed to Lolth before the two could meet in combat . In 1357 DR , Dantrag did , however , get the opportunity to challenge Zaknafein ' s son , Drizzt Do ' Urden , the famed renegade . As Drizzt attempted to escape the Underdark with Catti - brie and Artemis Entreri , Dantrag attacked him in a tunnel , leading to an epic confrontation of swordsmanship . Ultimately , Drizzt proved the superior warrior ( largely due to his father ' s training ) , and Dantrag was killed by Drizzt in the Underdark passage . Possessions . Like most drow nobles , Dantrag wore a suit of drow chainmail , which was like a protective second skin . Dantrag wore a pair of " bracers of the blinding strike " on his wrists , which allowed him to wield his two longsword s with incredible speed . However , even with , and indeed , because of these enchanted bracers , he was no match for Drizzt , and upon Dantrag ' s defeat they passed into the renegade drow ' s hands . Drizzt believed the bracers threw him off balance in combat , and that the bracers made him slash so rapidly that he couldn ' t change the direction of his attacks , and that this had been Dantrag ' s downfall . Dantrag also possessed the sentient sword " Khazid ' hea " , which was forged by the surface elves . How this sword came into his possession is unknown , but after his death it returned to the surface in the hands of Catti - brie .
