'''Commander Dracus''' | '''Commander Dracus''' is a [[Cabal]] [[Commander]] of the [[Imperial Cabal]] and formerly a [[Legionary]] of the [[Red Legion]]. | ||
Dracus is infamous for the deaths of countless lightless [[Guardian]]s during the [[Red War]], and the elevation to a warlord in the wake of [[Dominus Ghaul]]'s death and [[Empress Caiatl]]'s eventual ascension. He would be one of many aspiring champions to join Caiatl's [[War Council]] through the [[Rite of Proving]]. | |||

In the ensuring [[Aftermath of The Red War|aftermath]] after Ghaul's defeat, Dracus went onwards to create a name for himself and became known amongst the Red Legion's remnants as a warlord, achieving for himself the rank of Commander. Stationed on [[Nessus]] in the aftermath, Dracus hunted the small [[Unknown Birds|birds]] of Nessus along with his comrades for sustenance, taking enjoyment in the birds' challenge and satisfaction in being trapped. | ||

Dracus expressed his disgust to the Legionary, who was unaware of the old traditions of the [[Rite of Proving]]. The female Legionary then offered a challenge to Dracus, to which he pondered for a moment the possible prospects in proving himself to Caiatl and shot the Legionary dead mockingly.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]], PlayStation 4, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:From the Front|From the Front]]</ref> | ||

After initiating the Rites of | After initiating the Rites of Passage, Commander Dracus will enter the battlefield as a large horn plays in the background to signify his emergence. Dracus is a large Legionary who is supported by waves of Cabal reinforcements. His primary method of attack is a heavily modified [[Cabal Slug Shotgun]] which fires [[Arc]] damage at an immense fire rate and range. He is also highly durable and capable of unleashing a ground attack called Quake if players get too close. | ||
When his health is depleted by a third, Dracus will create an immunity shield and summon a [[Shieldbearer Centurion]] as his champion to shield him. Killing the Centurion will disable Dracus' immunity shield and allow players to damage him again. | When his health is depleted by a third, Dracus will create an immunity shield and summon a [[Shieldbearer Centurion]] as his champion to shield him. Killing the Centurion will disable Dracus' immunity shield and allow players to damage him again. | ||
At random intervals, often upon half his health depleted, Dracus will summon a portable shield that will act similarly to shields deployed by [[Injection Rig]]s. These shields cannot be shot into, but shot out from and can be disabled by repeated damage to the core. Repeated blows to Dracus' Shieldbearer Champions and damage to himself will end up killing him. | |||
