Drakus

Drakus is the main and recurring antagonist of the FSL series. He is 1 of 3 known leaders of the Drakus Empire. It is believed he either founded the empire or renamed it after himself when he gained control. Not much is known about Drakus' past history, Realguest has stated that he is a descendant of Farrok and Sukard's brother, however Turbo has not stated anything about this and in fact has made implications about the opposite.

Plot
At the beginning of the first game, a cutscene depicts a near-death villager telling you that Drakus had attacked your village as well as slayed your king and others. You gain power, slay his commanders, then end him.

In the first FSL 2 cutscene, Drakus had been dead for 3 months, however he had came back and stolen the Forsaken Sword and then vanished. You have to repeat the process of gaining power, slaying his masters, then killing him. After slaying him, Christina will tell you that he was able to revive himself because his power and the Forsaken Sword's were "faintly linked" which led to him reviving himself. By slaying him again he lost that link and is forever in the ground.

However, his legacy didn't end. There were a few non-canonical iterations of him that appeared in FSL 2 and FSL 3, however he has not appeared in FSL 4 (yet). Challenge 2 and 3, provided by Bill, allow you to fight Drakus twice again. Challenge 2 contains Drakus III, a version of Drakus that has absorbed the full power of the sword, and because of that, the sword has taken his form. Upon completion you will obtain the Master Sword which is much more powerful than the Forsaken Sword. Challenge 3 contains Drakus IV, an exact replica of Drakus II, but with one catch, you cannot use any skills. Drakus IV is considerably easier than Drakus III and therefore you are recommended to beat him before doing III. When you defeat him, you will obtain Godly Armor which is more powerful than Thunder Armor. Drakus V appears in FSL 3. To access him, you need to slay Sukard, as well as find a portal in a corridor of Vailah Garden. Drakus V is essentially just a remade version of Drakus III, although still easier because he has less total health and you are much better equipped when fighting him than you are when fighting Drakus III. He drops the Dual Forsaken Swords on death which deal double the damage of the normal swords. All of these versions do not have an explanation for how they were revived, the lore behind their drops, etc. They were only added for the challenge or progression of the game.
