Draal the Deadly/Relationships

A list of **Draal the Deadly**'s relationships with certain characters throughout the franchise.

## Romances

### Nomura

It was hinted that Draal once might have had a relationship with the Changeling Nomura that ended badly, given how hostile they are towards each other. However, they seem to have reconciled after Nomura reformed. When she heard about Draal's sacrifice in Angor Reborn she felt deeply sad about his death and kept a huge hate towards Angor Rot.

## Family

### Kanjigar

Kanjigar is Draal's father. When Jim is summoned into The Void for the first time, Kanjigar reveals that he had to distance himself from Draal in order to protect him. After each summoning, Draal asks Jim whether his father spoke of him and Jim gives him the same answer, "No".

In "Something Rotten This Way Comes", Kanjigar's spirit makes an appearance and, after his father finishes speaking to Jim, Draal reaches out to the apparition. Reaching back but unable to touch, Kanjigar then apologizes to Draal for pushing him away and says that he was proud of him. As Kanjigar's spirit then returns to The Void, Draal continues to reach out and call for him.

In "KanjigAAARRRGGHH!!!" Draal is able to hug his father and speak to him while he is possessing AAARRRGGHH!!!.

### Ballustra

In The Way of the Wizard when Baby Draal is born she, like all mother love and deeply care about her son.

### Tarigar

Not Much is known about their relationship and we don't know if Draal has ever met or heard about his grandfather.

## Friends/Allies

### Jim Lake Jr.

Draal initially despised Jim, whom Draal felt had robbed him of the mantle of Trollhunter. He was hostile towards him and set out to humiliate him to beat up during his training. After Jim defeated Draal in a duel but refuses to kill him, Draal was disgraced and unable to show his face in Trollmarket. He decided to live with Jim as his bodyguard instead, and the two form a brother-like relationship. Draal became very protective of Jim as the series went on and even taught him how to wield his sword better and because of this Jim would confide in Draal in ways he didn't with anyone else, not even Blinky.

In Part Two, Jim stayed loyal to Draal and was not willing to fight him after he got brainwashed by Gunmar's Decimaar Blade.

In Part Three, Draal was freed from his brainwashing and helped Jim and his friends to get the Staff of Avalon. However, before Draal could help them any more, a fight ensued between the Trollhunters and Gunmar and Angor Rot. During this battle, Draal was cursed with the same Creeper Sun poison that turned AAARRRGGHH!!! to stone and was transformed to stone completely when he saved Jim, saying that, "It [was his] honor, fleshbag".

Jim was heartbroken by Draal's sacrifice and eventually avenged him by killing Gunmar.

### AAARRRGGHH!!!

Although they rarely interact alone, Draal seems to tolerate AAARRRGGHH!!! as a close acquaintance.

### Blinky Galadrigal

At first, Draal saw Blinky as an incompetent trainer, even retorts that people in his company forget how to fight (which offended AAARRRGGHH!!!). Later on, after Draal vows to protect Jim, Blinky agrees to allow Draal to train Jim in single combat.

### Vendel

Vendel and Draal don't seem to love or care for each other that much, but they have a grandson-grandfather relation.

### Toby Domzalski

At first, Draal didn't seem as please to see Toby in Trollmarket with Jim. Later on, despite not interacting much, they seem to get along just fine.

### Claire Nuñez

Draal and Claire don't interact much, but they seem to get along fine. During their training secessions, Draal helped her focus on her new Shadow Staff to make it work.

## Enemies

### Gunmar

Draal despised Gunmar, especially after he possesses his mind and forced him to attack his surrogate brother, Jim, which only intensified his hatred for the Gumm-Gumm warlord more.

### Bular

After learning that his father felled at the hands of Bular, Draal developed an intense hatred for the son of Gunmar. It's likely plausible that he also wanted to inherit the amulet because he wanted to avenge his father's death.

In "The Battle of Two Bridges", the two sons engaged in a brief but intense battle before AAARRRGGHH!!! intervenes to save Draal. In the end after Bular is killed by Jim, Draal became more at peace and was greatly relieved that Bular was gone once and for all.
