In Noxus, warriors known as reckoners face one another in arenas where blood is spilled and strength tested—but none has ever been as celebrated as Draven. A former soldier, he found that the crowds uniquely appreciated his flair for the dramatic, not to mention the spray of blood from each of his spinning axes. Addicted to the spectacle of his own brash perfection, Draven has sworn to defeat whomever he must to ensure that his name is chanted throughout the empire forever more.
"'The best' is wherever I decide to set the bar each day."— Draven
Draven grew up as an orphan on the streets of Basilich until his hometown was conquered by Noxus. He and his brother Darius joined the Noxian army, but Draven grew steadily more bored with the drudgery of soldier life. Instead, he was drawn to the excitement of the Reckoners' gladiator arena. After playing an instrumental role in Swain's coup over Boram Darkwill, Draven was appointed the Glorious Executioner, punishing the enemies of Noxus with spectacular deaths.
Appearance[]
Draven is a tall, muscular man with fair skin and dark brown or black hair. He is variously portrayed with either brown, gray, or green eyes. His body and face are decorated with reddish tattoos, a series of thick, angular lines. He is virtually never seen without his signature facial hair: a long, thin mustache that extends past his jawline.
He typically wears light leather armor, accented with metal spikes and white fur. His weapons of choice are a pair of large, spinning axes meant for throwing.
Personality[]
With a knack for spectacle and showmanship, Draven is a bombastic, blustering personality and a famous crowd-pleaser during his gladiatorial "performances." He is brash and impulsive, often acting purely on instinct. In addition, he is almost cartoonishly arrogant, loving himself and the sound of his own name with extreme passion. As such, he often refers to himself in the third person. He is also a remorseless killer, executing his opponents in the ring with no hesitation.
Draven and Darius are renowned as the 'Blood Brothers' (Draven being the younger one). Draven looked up to his older brother for guidance. They are competitive brothers, with both generally disapproving of the way the other goes about his life.
Draven supported Swain when he was considered a disgraced figure, and aided him in his coup for the leadership of Noxus. For this, Swain considers him a friend and ally.
It is revealed in The Whispering Doodad that both Draven and Warmason Tamara Lautari harbor feelings towards each other that they refuse to express to one-another, much to the confusion of the observer.

“Here, doodad,” she whispers to the grass. “Pretty please, with sprinkles on top! I'll let you take us somewhere you want to go next.” The doodad—or whatever it's really called—doesn't respond, but I sense it rolling away from Lulu. Well, not really rolling, as such, more making itself be where she isn't.
