YES IT IS!



Clearly he has a beard, and quite possibly a monocle. And a swagger cane.

I always pictured him in a cloak with a hood. And sandals. And scowling.

A well-featured man, beneath that thick, black beard. Eyes that had known malice long since stretched to snapping, leaving behind a strange bemusement, something almost regretful, almost … wise. Oh, this sword's realm delivered humility indeed. - Apsalara'a -(TtH)


"He came to us in the guise of a duke from an outlying border fastness – a place remote enough that none of us even thought to suspect him. And in his manner, his hard countenance and few words, he matched well our lazy preconceptions of such a man. None of us could argue that there was something about him, a kind of self-assurance rarely seen at court. In his eyes, likes wolves straining at chains, there was a hint of the feral – the priestesses positively dripped.

"But, they would find, his was a most potent seed. And it was not Tiste Andii."



After a time, Silchas Ruin settled back and resumed. "Power was drawn to him like slivers of iron to a lodestone … it all seemed so … natural. His distant origins invited the notion of neutrality, and one might argue, in hindsight, that Draconus was indeed neutral. He would use any and every Tiste Andii to further his ambitions, and how were we to imagine that, at the very core of his desire, there was love?"



"Consort to Mother Dark – he laid claim to that title, eventually, as if it was a role he had lost and had vowed to reacquire." The white-skinned warrior snorted, eyes fixed on the flickering flames. "Who were we to challenge that assertion? Mother's children had by then ceased to speak with her. (DoD)





I was speaking of the ancient forces – your kin, if you like. Among them, the Eleint. Was Draconus a true Eleint? Or was he something else? All I can say is, he wore the skin of a Tiste Andii for a time, perhaps as a sour joke, mocking our self-importance – who can know? In any case, it was inevitable that Anomander, my brother, would step into the Consort's path, and all those opportunities for knowledge and truth came to a swift end. To this day," he added, sighing, "I wonder if Anomander regrets killing Draconus."

Rudd started. His mind was awhirl. "What of the Imass? This war –"

"I told you," Silchas Ruin snapped, face betraying his irritation. "Wars are indifferent to the choice of victims. Innocence, guilt, such notions are irrelevant. Grasp hold of your thoughts and catch up. I wondered if Anomander has regrets. I know that I do not. Draconus was a cold, cold bastard – and with the awakening of Father Light, ah, well, we saw then the truth of his jealous rage. The Consort cast aside, see the malice of the spurned ignite a black fire in his eyes! (DoD)





"There is irony in this," Sechul said with a wry smile. "The removal of Anomander Rake is like kicking down a gate – in an instant the path beyond runs straight and clear. Only to have Draconus step into the breach. As deadly as Rake ever was, but a whole lot crueler, that much closer to chaos. (DoD)
