==Overview==
Officially a type of lower [[Image:DE_Dracon.jpg|right|thumb|A Dark Eldar DraconArchon]]'''A Dracon''' is {{Fn|6a}}, they are subordinate to the commander for higher level Archons within a regiment Kabal. They command sub sections of soldiers in a [[Dark Eldar]] [[Kabal]]. They and lead realspace raids, but are also frequently seen leading involved in coups to replace their Archons as the supreme leader of their forces in large scale raids, or joining up with a raid currently in progress upon receiving word that considerable resistance has been metKabal.{{Fn|6a}}{{Fn|6b}}
===Armor=Known Dracons==Dracons usually dress very similarly *[[Khirareq]] — [[Kabal of the Bloodied Claw]]. Led a failed coup against Archon Akhara'Keth but was promoted to an [[ArchonHierarch]] (although they are careful not to outdo them), wearing light, pressurized, neuroresponsive armor that has been customized with talismans, trophies, and ornate modifications in order to distinguish themselves and emphasize the importance instead of their rank to subordinateskilled. In fact, most other races have difficulty telling Archons and Dracons apart because {{Fn|1}}*[[Maensith]] — [[Kabal of the Crimson Talon]]{{Fn|3}}*[[Th'tysh]] — [[Kabal of this. To make this mistake in the presence Red Seed]]{{Fn|4}}*[[Naezir]] — [[Kabal of an Archon or Dracon, however, is the Poisoned Tongue]]. Led a force to almost guarantee oneraid the space hulk ''[[Gallowdark]]''s own death, and perhaps even the Dracon in question depending on circumstances.{{Fn|5}}
===Wargear=Sources==By the time a member of a Kabal has achieved the rank of Dracon*{{Endn|1}}: [[Codex: Dark Eldar (3rd Edition Revised)]], they more than likely have attained access to the full armory of the Kabalpg. 46*{{Endn|2}}: [[Codex: Dark Eldar (5th Edition)]], and as such are frequently seen equipped with the same incredibly advanced wargear, or ancient and valuable artifactspg. In the event 26*{{Endn|3}}: [[Spirits of a fullTir-scale operationNamagesh (Short Story)]]*{{Endn|4}}: [[Lukas the Trickster (Novel)]], one that would include the Archon in battleChapter Fourteen*{{Endn|5}}: [[Kill Team: Soulshackle]], Dracon's obviously must allow their lord first choice on any equipment they might wantpg.8 ===Retinue===It's quite common for a Dracon to have a specific *6: [[Codex: Dark Eldar Warrior|Warrior(8th Edition)]] squad that they take on as their retinue, but these warriors are less like bodyguards, and more like disciples, blessed with being given the opportunity to train under a being of such distinction and skill as to achieve the rank of Dracon**{{Endn|6a}}: pg. This Warrior squad is usually given a special name, and is treated with increased kindness by their Dracon, while suffering increased contempt by their fellow Warriors. These elites usually swear fealty to the Dracon over the Kabal, and as such are often the fulcrum necessary for a successful coup d'etat. Unfortunately, this means in the event of the Dracon's plot being foiled, these elites are usually killed or enslaved regardless of whether they had anything to do with the matter15**{{Endn|6b}}: pg.50
