Georgios grew up in an atmosphere where it was all about leadership, as his father wanted him to become a commander that the Akritian people have never seen. Georgios his father, Dionisius Dracontas, has a position of power within the government of the Akritian people, as he wanted to expand the family's power through both politics and military. His father had quite an influence on the behavior he was showing during his time in school, as he would often take lead in events and command his classmates. Georgios was always fascinated by how the poets wrote the exploits of historical Akritian kings, this got Georgios motivated to write poems about his family's exploits but also about himself. As Georgios was absolutely proud of one of his forefathers being King Justinian, he often boasts about it and compares himself to his figure. When Georgios became seventeen years old, he was fluent in eight languages; Akritian, Turkce, New Marian, Auvergnian, Batavian, Romanian and Common. The perks of being linguistic are family-perks, as they are learning them to do diplomacy with the ones in their native tongue. When Georgios was eighteen years old, he was abducted to a small camp of Varangian Guards, to train and to learn how to be a leader in war and in defense of the Akritians.
