Biography
Dragul Nol Henrius Govius Menudias Partenuvonomias Dumid Os Kartanon (ドラグル・ノル・ヘンリウス・ゴビアス・メヌディアス・パルテヌボノミアス・ドゥミド・オウス・コルタノーン, Doraguru Noru Henriusu Gobiasu Menudiasu Parutenubonomiasu Dumido Ōsu Korutanōn) was a male human born into the world as the son of Draguliel Hendrius Nodomis Pertegomidus who was the ruler of the Parthevia Empire. He was noted to have had three brothers with one of them being Barbarossa. Since he was a child, Drakon had a close relationship with the First Imperial Princess, Serendine Dikumenowlz Du Parthevia and used to follow her around. He became a Parthevia Empire Army's Commander Officer at 14, as his family has been generals for many generations. When Baal's Dungeon appeared on Parthevia, the Emperor wanted to obtain its power, since Parthevia was in war against Reim Empire. All the soldiers who were sent to the Dungeon died, and the Emperor also decided to send Drakon. Drakon recruited more people among the population to join him for this task. Dragul is in a cart driven by two soldiers of Parthevia. The soldiers are asking themselves why them, the proud National Forces, are stationed at an outlying region like this. One of them says Parthevia is losing it, as they are recruiting children from some remote countryside, and the other one tells him to keep his voice down. Dragul throws a sword between the two, and tells them to quit their nagging, and asks if they call themselves proud Parthevian soldiers. They apologize. The second soldier says that Dragul looks like a kid, but he's more overbearing than most other generals. Later, in Tison Village, Dragul has his sword pointed toward Sinbad, who is on the ground with Dragul's two soldiers' halberds at his neck. Dragul introduces himself as the Western Region Military Commander. He tells Sinbad that he has received an official draft notice from the army, and that in three days he should finish his preparations and enlist. He says that if Sinbad takes any longer than that, then they had come for him, then asks Sinbad if he understands. Sinbad asks what if he said no. Dragul kicks him in the face, and says someone like Sinbad doesn't have the standing to refuse, and that this is a formal offer from the military. The villagers start to get rowdy, but Dragul's soldiers tell them to shut up, and to get back to their own work. Dragul says that this village is nothing but women and children. He said there was not much workforce left in this village that they could use, and they should report this to the higher ups, and the soldiers agree. Dragul says he takes them for exactly what he said. He says for a country, its citizens are a valuable workforce, and asked that if it was not natural for everyone to work blood, sweat, and tears for war. He says Sinbad should learn what a real workforce is from observing other citizens, which means military service. Sinbad says that the military service isn't a workforce at all. He says his father was deployed and never came back, along with other men in the village. He says they're just tools for this war, and there is no way he'll ever enlist. This makes the villagers rowdy again, as they agree with Sinbad. They yell that they're not just tools for this war, and that it just causes suffering for them. Dragul's soldiers what's wrong with them, and why they're putting op such a fight. They ask Dragul what they should do. Dragul and Sinbad stare at each other for a while. Then, Dragul says that Sinbad can fuss all he want, but he can't escape drafting orders when they come. This quiets everyone. He asks Sinbad if he understands that Parthevia requires his services. He says everyone should already know the existence of "The Dungeon". He adds that Parthevia's Magicians say that there is a power residing there that far surpasses that of human intelligence, and that it is a power that can greatly influence the direction of this war. He says that they must get their hands on that power no matter what, and that it is an imperial order from his majesty. He tells Sinbad that in the end, his father was deployed after all. Lastly, he tells Sinbad that he should know how it ends, then departed the scene.
In Parthevia's palace, Dragul received the mission of the Dungeon Conquest with 100 men. When he heard that this news, he was shocked but an older military officer told him that they have appointed him because, even if Dragul is young, he was no less than any grown-up as a swordsman and as a leader. To add that, above all, he was from the distinguished Dragul Family. Dragul accepted the mission and begins to think about it. He thinks that all men who entered into the Dungeon died, and that this mission is no different from sending him to death. Then he begins to think aloud, saying that he's nothing but the youngest son, after all, and that his brothers would never be assigned a mission of this kind. Then, the First Princess of Parthevia, Serendine Dikumenowlz Du Parthevia appears behind him and says that he shouldn't speak of such things so lightly inside the palace. He's surprised and calls her your Highness, and bows at her. She laughs, and says that her name is too long, and asks him to call her just Seren. He nods but asks her stop calling him Dragul Jr, since that was his childhood name. She sighed and said that he was too serious at times like these, and reminded him that when he was little he was a sweet little brother who followed her around like a duckling. This matter embarrassed Dragul, but then Serendine changed the topic and said that she had heard that in this conquest corps he was appointed the commander. Dragul nodded and solemnly said that although he was born in the Dragul Family, and served her since childhood, he was merely the youngest son, and yet she still treat him like one of her own family. He said that for this he was forever indebted to her and swpre that he would get good results in the quest because he will never do anything to soil princess Serendine's reputation. Serendine hit him on the head and laughed, saying that she already had a terrible reputation as the Venomous Spider Princess of Parthevia. Dragul objected that this was the nickname the enemy called her out of fear. She though answered that she liked this nickname and then with a serious face she said that if Dragul died she would not forgive him and left. Dragul answered as you wish, and while he also leaves he thinks that that was foolish of him. He thinks he was thinking of dying to begin with, as as a soldier who serves princess Serendine he will definitely accomplish their mission.
The day of the mission, Dragul is in front of the Dungeon and asks to two soldiers, Zamil and Tabi, if everyone is here. They nod, and says that the only person that is missing is Sinbad from the Tison Village. Dragul says that he should not have left Sinbad to his own devices, and he laments that this brat is causing them trouble. Sinbad suddenly appears behind of Dragul, and says that the one who is a brat is Dragul. Then, Sinbad exclaims to the soldiers that he's the one who will conquer the Dungeon and enters to the Dungeon. Dragul is outraged by Sinbad's words and orders the soldiers to advance. Some time after, the Dungeon's monsters, some kind of dragons, have killed all the soldiers and only remains Dragul, who is scared and exclaims that it cannot be that the strongest soldiers of Parthevia are dying like this. When the monsters head to him, Sinbad rescues him hitting the monsters with a rock and they hide in a hole. Dragul questions Sinbad, saying why did he save him. Sinbad says that he doesn't care about reasons, and points that Dragul is the only one who seems a kid now. Dragul gets angry, and says that he will enlighten Sinbad, since Dragul's name holds an honorable lineage. Dragul proudly introduces himself saying: "The youngest son of the Dragul Family, a clan of Parthevian Generals. Son of the General Draguliel Hendrius Nodomis Pertegomidus. Commander of the Western Military Unit, I am Dragul Nol Henrius Govius Menudias Partenuvonomias Dumid Os Kartanon." When Sinbad simply says that it's too long so he would shorten it to Drakon, Dragul first is left shocked but then he quickly gets mad. He asks Sinbad why wants he shorten an honorable name like his, and Sinbad, also angry, answers "who could say all that!!", and tells Dragul to take his name for example, which only has six letters. Both boys are getting angrier and pulling out their swords, ready to fight, when the biggest dragon sets its sights on them. Drakon and Sinbad hide behind a small cliff. They notice that all of the smaller dragons congregate towards it. Dragul fills Sinbad in on situation. Only half of the 100 soldiers Drakon led made it to the starting point of the Dungeon, as the remaining soldiers were killed by the baby dragons. They realize that the only door in this room is guarded by the giant dragon. Sinbad says they're being tested in this Dungeon. Drakon says he has a good idea, that Sinbad can be his shield.
Afterwards, he joined the Eight Generals alongside Sinbad to investigate the captured Black Metal Vessel that was recovered from the enemy. The relic reacted to Sinbad's touch with Yaimraiha determining that the sigils on it were those of Magnostadt with Drakon expressing his worries about the mage kingdom being allies of the Organization.
