My dear gentlemen, ladies...I am an Assassin. I have killed more people than Cancer. I Like my work. I am very good at it. It is not just a job. It Is a vocation. While some men excelled in athletics or the sciences as children, I was most adept at doing harm to other living beings.

Oh Good. I so much prefer blades to bows. There's always so much more blood.

~ Drakon to Green Arrow Family.
Constantine Drakon is a villain from DC Comics and an enemy of the Green Arrow Family. He is also easily one of the best martial artists in the world and assassins for hire.
Drakon claims that he had nothing strange or traumatic in his upbringing to turn him into a efficent assassin, he was simply curious to see what if he could do. He considers what he did not just a job but a vocation, and takes pride in the professional manner in which he operates.
Past[]
As a child growing up in Greece, Drakon was teased by other children due to his short height. But once he started killing people at the age of ten, however, Drakon found he was no longer sensitive about his stature. As Drakon discovered that he was a prodigy in killing, he proceeded to make a living out of it.
Meeting Green Arrow and Superheroes[]
When the immigrant workers of the corrupt "Elevast" construction company developing in Star City began mutating into troll-like beasts because of illegal Beta-Vaccine testing, the company hired Drakon. His job was to eliminate the monsters and cover up the link between them and the corporation. Green Arrow's investigations into the monsters put him in direct confrontation with the assassin. In their first encounter Drakon soundly defeated Green Arrow, and crucified him with his own arrows. He chose not to kill the archer because he wasn't being paid enough to kill superheroes yet.
Drakon's next victim was attorney Joanna Pierce, niece of superhero Black Lightning, shortly after she had discovered evidence of the illegal vaccine. Joanna had been involved with Oliver Queen, and although they had broken up almost immediately after starting a relationship, her death would greatly disturb him for some time to come.
Drakon would subsequently invade the Green Arrow household looking for copies of Joanna's evidence and face Connor Hawke, Ollie's son in battle. Connor was losing the battle badly when Speedy (Mia Dearden) arrived to help. Drakon grabbed Mia from behind as a human shield while Connor focused his bow on them. Drakon was defeated only after Connor actually shot him through Mia's shoulder, and then blew up the house with Drakon in it.
Drakon did not appear again until he was hired by Brick as part of a revenge scheme against Green Arrow. Drakon attacked Roy Harper, scarring his throat and taking him prisoner. Mia and Connor again squared off against Drakon, who again outclassed them in martial arts skill. But the two heroes outwitted him for a second time, luring him into a trap set by Shift of the Outsiders
Imprisonment, Meeting the Terminator, and Getting Payback[]
After a year of imprisonment, Drakon would met his fellow assassin for hire, Deathstroke after he was caught by Green Arrow. The two of them broke out of prison and confronted the Arrow Family. Despite being outnumbered four to two, Deathstroke noted that Team Arrow "should have brought more guys." as they proceeded to engage them in combat and nearly kill of all them but the two of them were defeated and forced to escape when the Justice League arrived to rescue Team Arrow.
