(Green Arrow III #27-31) - Drakon was adept at killing, and enjoyed it so he made it his vocation. he became a famous assassin and was hired by the Elevast Corporation, whose construction of the Star center in Star City was jeopardized when monsters they created killed security guards at an Elevast construction site. Green Arrow killed one and brought it to his friend in the Star City morgue Dennis Porter. Drakon killed Dennis and defeated Green Arrow in combat. He refused to kill Arrow because he hadn't been paid to, but Arrow nicked him with an arrow, so he drove arrows through each of Arrow's hands. Drakon lured three of the monsters into a building using drugged meat, and when they fell asleep he set the building on fire. Green Arrow rescued one of them and blinded Drakon with a glue-arrow, but wasn't willing to stick around for another fight. Evlevast demanded results, and Drakon hung one of their board members out of a window before promising to finish the job. Joanna Pierce, the attorney representing the Lamb Valley residents set to be evicted by the construction of Star Center, discovered that Tepcorp, a subsidiary of Elevast, accidentally created the monsters with a tuberculosis vaccination. Drakon killed her, making her death look like a suicide by hanging. She'd e-mailed what she'd learned to Green Arrow, and Drakon sped to his home, where he found Connor Hawke and Mia Dearden. He badly injured both of them, but Connor set a gas fire to blow up the house and defeat Drakon, while taking away a copy of Joanna's e-mail.

(Green Arrow III #47-50) - Green Arrow chipped away at Brick’s empire, taking down drug rings, his skin trade and weapons shipments, prompting Brick to call in outside help. He brought in Riddler, the Duke of Oil and Drakon, who was underground in Venice, Italy. Drakon nearly killed Brick’s men, annoyed that they sought him out, but he gave them a reprieve when told that brick wanted to hire him to kill Green Arrow. The Duke robbed a bank to lure in Team Arrow, and Drakon separating Arsenal from the rest of the team by using a trip-wire to close the bank’s windows and doors. After a wild fight Arrow disabled the Duke by shooting an arrow at the base of his android skull, the one chink in his armor. Arsenal discovered a massive bomb in the bank and went to work disabling it. Once Arrow defeated the Duke, Drakon released the bank doors, allowing the patrons to leave, but Arsenal was still determined to defuse the bomb. Drakon set off the charge, seemingly killing Arsenal, but in reality he’d kidnapped the hero before the explosion. Arrow frantically searched the wreckage for Arsenal, and was joined by the Outsiders when they learned their teammate was in distress. After a full search they found no body, but they did discover Riddler’s calling card. Arsenal was being driven to Riddler’s safehouse, but escaped by using a hidden detonator on his person. He fought Drakon, who slit his throat to subdue him. Arsenal was forced to clamp his hands over his throat to keep from bleeding out and walked the rest of the way to Riddler’s. team Arrow and the Outsiders stormed Riddler’s safehouse, Puertas al Infierno, a former prison, and fought off the hi-tech armored mercenaries that guarded it. Shift captured Drakon after Speedy and Connor fought him to a stalemate, and Green Arrow found Riddler, who shot him in the shoulder as revenge for Arrow’s past brutalization of him. He tied up Arrow next to Arsenal, but once Riddler learned his security had been breached he fled, noting that his act was a game, and a hint of things to come when he was serious about destroying Green Arrow.

Deathstroke tried contacting him, but Drakon refused to respond. Realizing a one-on-one meeting would be the only way to get a hold of him Deathstrroke confronted Green Asrrow, allowed himself to be defeated and captured and sent to Alcatraz. Correctly guessing that Drakon was keeping tabs on Arrow, Deathstroke asked where the hero’d been for the past year, and Drakon was ready to tell him everything. After being defeated by Merlyn, Arrow recovered in the Marshall Islands, and relearned fighting skills, employing Deathstroke’s former mentor Natas to teach him.

(Green Arrow III #69, 71) - Drakon had Deathstroke place a scrambled call from Alcatraz to Star City police commissioner Brian Nudocerdo, telling him he’d come into information about Mayor Queen. Deathstroke told him it was damaging, and that he’d benefit from putting himself up as a mayoral candidate when the news hit. Drakon slipped drugs into the food of two guards, and while they were incapacitated, slaughtered them. Deathstroke and Drakon dressed up as the guards and escaped Alcatraz by boat. Deathstroke called Natas, and after sending him payment got a location for intel on Oliver Queen that proved he was financing the vigilante Outsiders. The villains released the intel to the media.
