Description: Antares Draco was a Force-sensitive Human male who led the Imperial Knights during the Second Imperial Civil War. A skilled pilot and lightsaber duelist, Draco was fiercely loyal to and willing to die for Roan Fel, Emperor of the Galactic Empire and later the Empire-in-exile. Draco was trained in the ways of the Force by Master Eshkar Niin, and was an Imperial Knight as early as 130 ABY at the conclusion of the Sith–Imperial War, when he fled the Imperial capital with Fel as the Sith Lord Darth Krayt seized control of the Empire and the galaxy, declaring a new order and driving Fel's forces into exile. When Eshkar Niin deserted the Imperial Knights, Draco was sent to kill him and left him mortally wounded after Niin murdered Fel's wife, the Empress Elliah. Draco continued to serve the Emperor, eventually becoming an Imperial Knight Master and the leader of the Order. In 137 ABY, he accompanied Fel as the Emperor retook the world of Bastion and established a fortress world from which he could assault Krayt's forces.

When Draco learned that Fel's daughter Marasiah was being pursued by Krayt's Sith agents on Vendaxa, he defied the Emperor's orders to not mount a rescue attempt, and brought his trusted friend Ganner Krieg to the world in an attempt to rescue the woman he loved from the Sith's clutches. Escaping the planet on the Mynock, a ship belonging to the bounty hunter Cade Skywalker, Draco and Krieg were able to return the Princess to Bastion, but at the expense of their Emperor's trust. Draco hoped to win enough of Fel's trust back to persuade the Emperor to allow him to marry the Princess, and grew very staunch in his willingness to obey orders. Over the next several months, he and Krieg were sent on missions to the Wheel space station and to the Jedi Order's Hidden Temple on Taivas. While at the Temple, they joined a strike team put together by Skywalker to assassinate Darth Krayt on Had Abbadon. The mission saw Krayt nearly killed, but the war continued to rage on. Draco later accompanied Fel to Agamar along with several other Imperial Knights in order to conduct peace talks with the Jedi Order, but the meeting was interrupted by forces of the One Sith.

Draco ordered the Emperor's escape shuttle to ferry Fel away from Agamar and to safety, although it meant leaving Marasiah behind. The Princess was captured by the Sith, and Draco later led a rescue mission on the Sith world of Korriban. The mission was successful, but Draco remained onworld to buy her time to escape. There, he was taken prisoner by Niin, who had become the Sith Inquisitor Darth Havok, and Havok subjected him to agonizing torture in an effort to learn the Emperor's secrets. Draco broke under the torture and told Havok about the Jedi's Hidden Temple. He was then frozen in carbonite and made into a gift for Cade Skywalker, whom Darth Krayt wanted to entice into a confrontation. Skywalker brought Draco to the Temple, and the two joined in its defense as Krayt's forces attacked. The Jedi were evacuated, and Fel and his allies immediately launched a counterstrike at Sith-controlled Coruscant. During the battle, Draco stood aboard the Star Destroyer Jagged Fel at the side of the Emperor, who yet believed in Draco's unquestioning loyalty. Draco's loyalty was ultimately to the Force, however, and he held true to his oath as an Imperial Knight and slew his liege during the battle when the Emperor fell to the dark side and attempted to unleash a deadly pathogen onto Coruscant's surface.

Following the defeat of the One Sith, a new galactic government known as the Galactic Federation Triumvirate came into existence. Marasiah Fel became the new Empress while Draco became the head of the Imperial Knights. The Triumvirate's efforts to rebuild the galaxy were stymied by an underground One Sith insurgency and the appearance of a rogue Sith, named Darth Wredd, who wanted to destroy the One Sith and restore the Rule of Two. Following the Carreras Incident, Draco objected to the Empress' new policy of ignoring Darth Wredd and letting him kill the One Sith but followed his orders nonetheless. Draco later implemented the Empress' "Most Wanted" campaign to hunt down war criminals from the Second Imperial Civil War. During this campaign, the junk dealer Ania Solo was arrested for allegedly murdering the Imperial Knight Teemen Alton. Draco personally headed the three–member military tribunal prosecuting her but was forced to acquit her after the Imperial Knights Yalta Val and Jao Assam presented evidence clearing her name. Later, Draco had Jao arrested on charges of deserting the Imperial Knights. After Darth Wredd kidnapped Jao Assam, Antares Draco commanded an Imperial Knight force against One Sith forces during the Battle of the Floating World. During the battle, Draco was wounded but recovered due to timely medical intervention by Ania and her Mon Calamari friend Sauk.

Personality and traits
Draco's position as head of the Imperial Knights was one that he earned through years of hard work, discipline, and loyalty. He possessed unwavering loyalty to the cause of the Imperial Knights and was willing to die for his Emperor. However, his loyalty, though unflinching, was not blind. Draco defied the orders of his Emperor on at least one occasion, when he and Ganner Krieg traveled to Vendaxa to rescue Princess Marasiah Fel from the Sith. This event caused Draco to wonder if the concept of loyalty could transcend obedience. Following this incident, Draco was willing to accept any punishment that the Emperor would hand out and became more willing to obey his Emperor in the hope that it would persuade Fel to allow Draco to marry the princess Marasiah. Draco's loyalty was such that he unhesitatingly obeyed Fel's order to obtain the Muur Talisman from Celeste Morne and dismissed the objections of Krieg and Azlyn Rae that it was an evil Sith artifact which would corrupt their Emperor. On this occasion, Draco insisted that Imperial Knights always served the Emperor's will, but Ganner Krieg speculated that he was letting his desire to marry the Princess cloud his judgment. This occasion also saw Draco verbally quarrel with Krieg, who was normally his most trusted friend.

Although it was said that his personal feelings rarely interfered with his work, Draco was openly critical of the Jedi and remarked on more than one occasion that Shado Vao was no match for an Imperial Knight, despite having bore witness to the Jedi's skills. When meeting with Vao and other Jedi on Agamar to discuss an alliance against the Sith, Draco remained open to the idea of a security leak in the Jedi's ranks. His malice toward those who did not serve Fel's Empire also extended to bounty hunters, members of the Galactic Alliance, and those serving Darth Krayt's Empire. Draco had no moral qualms with killing members of the latter group, although fellow Imperial Knights Krieg and Treis Sinde did. When Marasiah was captured by the Sith on Agamar, it caused Draco a great deal of anger. He was advised by Krieg and Shado Vao to master his anger, but instead chose to use it to disguise himself as a Sith in order to rescue his love. Darth Havok, Draco's former Imperial Knight Master, believed darkness to have always been inside of Draco, and Draco willingly drew on the dark side of the Force when dueling Havok on Korriban. However, Draco refused Havok's offer to join the Sith, insistent that he would rather die fighting.

Draco's dedication to Fel was second to none, yet he knew that instinct and intuition were as important to an Imperial Knight as dedication and discipline. He believed that listening to the Force and heeding one's insights were paramount, and these beliefs helped craft him into a cunning, loyal, and very competent warrior. In spite of his brashness and cockiness, Draco was nearly incorruptible. However, his love for Marasiah could cause him to lose face and control of his emotions. Marasiah's brush with death on Vendaxa prompted Draco to threaten the lives of Jariah Syn and Deliah Blue and saw him punch Cade Skywalker in the face when the bounty hunter offered to heal Marasiah with the Force. When the Imperial Knights were attacked by forces of the One Sith on Agamar, Draco placed his duty to the Emperor over his duty to the Princess, ordering their escape shuttle to ferry Fel to safety when Marasiah had not yet boarded. Although he ultimately chose to go to Korriban to rescue her, he was initially conflicted, feeling that he should perhaps remain on Bastion to help protect the Emperor. During his rescue mission, he was determined to get Marasiah out alive, and was unwilling to fail in his mission. After rescuing her, he chose to remain on Korriban and buy her time to escape. He was willing to die, and believed that the will of the Force would decide his fate. Although he did not die, he became a prisoner of the Sith, and, despite having to endure long periods of torture at the hands of Darth Havok, was unwilling to betray any Imperial secrets. He eventually betrayed the existence and location of the Jedi's Hidden Temple when he believed Marasiah's life to be in danger. Draco did not ask for forgiveness, but he was willing to fight next to the Princess in an effort to regain his honor. He felt himself unworthy of the Emperor's continued trust, but both Fel and Krieg continued to believe in him. When the Emperor fell to the dark side of the Force, Draco held true to his oath as an Imperial Knight and slew his liege.

Following the defeat of the One Sith, Antares Draco became the head of the Imperial Knights. In his new position, Draco was troubled by the shortage of seasoned Knights within the rank of his Order. He and his superior Empress Fel regarded the Knights as the personal representatives of the Galactic Triumvirate. In the end, Draco and Fel rectified this shortage by appointing Master Yalta Val as the prefect of the Imperial Knights Training Facility on Coruscant. Val succeeded in boosting the Imperial Knights' numbers. In the wake of the Carreras Incident, Draco viewed the rogue Sith Darth Wredd as a threat due to his role in the destruction of the Carreras communications array and the attempted murder of Master Val. He expressed unease at the Empress's decision, at the behest of Admiral Gar Stazi, to leave Darth Wredd alone to kill the One Sith infiltrators.

As an Imperial Knight, Draco regarded his fellow Knights as brothers and sisters in arms. He regarded the murder of the Imperial Knight Teemen Alton as a serious crime against his Order and vowed to bring justice to his fallen comrade. Draco was convinced of the junk dealer Ania Solo's guilt in the alleged murder of Alton until his fellow Knights Val and Jao Assam presented evidence that exonerated her. Due to his adherence to the rule of law, Draco was forced to release Ania. However, he did not hesitate to carry out the Empress' orders to imprison Jao for deserting the Imperial Knights, a charge which carried the death penalty. When Ania tried to plead for clemency on Jao's behalf, Draco was confident that the Empress would not change her mind on that matter. Draco's feelings towards Ania improved after she saved his life during the Battle of the Floating World and he allowed her to visit Empress Fel.

Relationships
Marasiah Fel
During the Second Imperial Civil War, Draco was in love with Marasiah Fel, the daughter of his Emperor and a fellow Imperial Knight. On one occasion, Draco claimed that he cared about her more than his vows as a Knight, his fealty to her father, or his loyalty to the Empire. His feelings for her were enough to prompt him to disobey the Emperor's orders when she was in danger and to unwaveringly obey his orders when doing so might convince the Emperor to let Draco marry her. After being told to forget the idea of marrying her, Draco spent weeks sulking and, influenced by the Emperor, told Marasiah that he did not believe that they could pursue a relationship. She, however, had no intention of letting her father run her personal life and made it clear that his feelings for her were reciprocated. When Draco obeyed his duty to the Emperor and ferried Fel away from forces of the One Sith on Agamar, leaving Marasiah behind in the process, it caused Draco a large amount of anger. He rescued her from the clutches of the Sith and was willing to die protecting her, at peace with the knowledge that his death would keep her safe. Draco did not die, but was taken captive by the Sith, and only began telling them information about the Jedi when he believed Marasiah's life to be in danger.

Following the defeat of the One Sith, Draco continued his relationship with Marasiah Fel. Fel viewed Draco as someone she could lean on during her moments of doubts and stress. On one occasion, he assured her that he had never known her to be anything less than strong after discussing the manpower shortages facing the Imperial Knights. While Draco respected and loved his Empress, he still did not hesitate to disagree with her. On one occasion, he expressed concerns about her decision to leave the rogue Sith Darth Wredd alone. Prior to the Battle of the Floating World, he advised his liege to remain aboard the Star Destroyer since without her, the Order would have nothing to fight for. Despite Fel's combat prowess and enthusiasm, she acquiesced to Draco's request; knowing her importance to the Imperial Knights. The bond between Draco and Fel was sufficient enough for the latter to enter the battlefield after Draco was attacked and wounded by a Sith combatant.

Powers and abilities
A powerful Force-user, Draco was extremely skilled both with a lightsaber and behind the controls of a starfighter. He was said to be a competent and cunning warrior and proved this claim on several occasions, aiding in fighting off legions of Sith on Vendaxa, Agamar, and Taivas, and singlehandedly cutting down a large group of Sith on Korriban. Draco was skilled with various uses of the Force, including telekinesis, sensing disturbances in the Force, and the Force shield talent. Although he usually fought with a single lightsaber, he was able to effectively use two, even when one had dual blades. When he felt he had to sacrifice himself for Marasiah Fel and to regain his honor, he entered a state of fury, cleaving through Sith. He defeated Eshkar Niin in lightsaber combat once, but Niin, by then Darth Havok, bested him in their second duel, subduing Draco with Force lightning. Draco had a strong will and resisted Havok's subsequent torture for long periods of time, refusing to betray Imperial secrets in the face of physical agony.
