Lord Drakan's age is unknown, but the first accounts of his existence date back to the early Second Age, making him at least 8,000 years old. The enigmatic nature of the vampyric race leaves his origins in question, but it is known that he was brought to Gielinor from the realm of Vampyrium by Zaros, the god of control. The exact details of this realm are a mystery, however. Despite his immense importance to both ancient and modern history, Drakan has managed to remain unseen by the public eye during much of his reign until The Lord of Vampyrium.
