Introduction

A noble family founded in the Empire of Akritos by Varangian Guard Commander Dionisius Dracontas The First; first Commander of the Akritian Army. After the fall of the Empire, they have moved to the North to seek a place to stay, historical archives say that they were residing in Hanseti-Ruska for a while and eventually became citizens there. The House of Dracontas is extremely devoted to the religion of The Church of Canon, as even in the old days, they kept themselves to the behavior that they should have when they are in a war and concluded as victorious. The family has gained their reputation through the war against the Turkin, as Dionisius had fought in the war and was concluded as victorious against the enemy. Dionisius eventually took the remaining Turkin with him and allowed them to live in the small province that he owned.

When the Barony of Trabzon was built, they decided to move there in order to reunite with their lost Akritian brothers and sisters rather than adapting to the culture of someone else. Georgios Dracontas, son of Dionisius Dracontas VIII was put in Command of the Varangian Guard. The House is of noble Akritian origin and their ancestry has quite a lot of important figures of the Akritian history. The family became good friends with the House Of Komnenos-Arianites, the descendants of the Akritian King Justinian Komnenos, the House of Dracontas have pledged loyalty to the family and protection of the property they uphold.
