Drakon

## Biography

Dante Graves a.k.a "Drakon", is an elite mercenary, considered the world's deadliest assassin.

#### Origin

Dante was an elite black ops mercenary who engaged in many covert operations for various government and military agencies, including assassination, counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, and sabotage missions. On one mission out in East Asia, he was fatally wounded in battle and on the brink of death, when he was saved by a mysterious figure watching from the shadows, revealed to be a member of the Lotus Clan. Dante was brought back to the Clan's headquarters where they tested an experimental serum that White Lotus created as a mystical equivalent to a super soldier serum, in an attempt to enhance his assassins. The process was a success, enhancing Dante’s strength, speed, reflexes and healing. In exchange for saving his life, Dante had to serve as an assassin for the Lotus Clan. He served in the clan for 8 years, operating as a high ranking member. Drakon’s time in the clan overlaps with Echo’s for a short time, as he was one of the assassins who took part in young Logan Hawk’s training. Shortly after, Drakon had a falling out with the clan, causing him to leave to pursue freelance mercenary work, having built up a notorious reputation in the criminal underworld.
