"Ever had a child? I thought not, giving advice to a child is like flinging sand at an obsidian wall, nothing sticks. The brutal truth is that we each suffer our own lessons - they can't be danced round, nor slipped past. You cannot gift a child with your scars - they arrive like webs, constricting, suffocating, and that child will struggle and strain until they break. No matter how noble your intent, the only scars that teach them anything are the ones they earn themselves"

I believe he's mentioned as having a bushy black beard, if that helps.
These glories we have raised... they shall not stand.

Yeah, i always pictured him as a lumberjacky Tiste Andii type. Not as tall as Rake or as wide as Karsa, but somewhere inbetween.
That probably didn't help at all, did it? Sigh....

i think SE has deliberately not given us a good description of draconus. large, bearded warrior is about as far as its gone really.
There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.

The beard is sort of a given. It's impossible to be that much of a badass and not have a beard.

I think he has two eyes, a nose and a mouth. Probably one head, two arms, two legs....and yeah, a giant beard...of tentacles.
Things and stuffs...and other important objects.

...Every tale is a gift,
And the scars bourne by us both,
are easily missed,
In the distance between us.

Nice! 
Yeah, i always assumed he is Tiste Andii, or at least maybe a primitive TA (if that's even possible) of some sort. He is alleged to have been Mother Dark's lover before Father Light came around with flowers and candy and Al Green CDs, and aspected to Dark (Night is his thing i think?). I could be completely wrong as well. It happens. Many, many times.

Worrywort, Merazes you two are very cruel for trying to suffocate me with laughter....
Sadly I can't help with any descriptions, I assume you looked in DoD around where he runs into Ublala, might be something there?

Leonidas-like. Gerard Butler-like.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I always had a lot of difficulty picturing Draconus, mainly because I never quite worked out... well, what he was supposed to be. The Elder God of what, exactly? I know they don't have as specific roles as the "new" gods, but he doesn't seem to be aspected to anything at all. I always defaulted to seeing him as a generic cloaked-figure-robed-in-shadows, which is probably just a massive failure of imagination on my part.
