His childhood was a haze of anomaly lockdown drills, cafeteria meals, and nights spent listening to his father’s typewriter clatter alongside vodka bottles. Draven had always had seen his father as someone close to the breaking point, and since his late teens had taken it upon himself to make sure he never hit that breaking point any more than was necessary, a constant mantra of take care of dad, take care of dad, you have to take care of dad. His father was loud laughter and notebook after notebook of solid writing and was also the smell of vodka and staying up too late for his own good, dad, dad, please go to bed, and his father would laugh and say not yet. At 15, he discovered Benjamin unconscious, vodka in hand, and began a near-decade of covert caretaking—hiding bottles, canceling missions during relapses, and lying to superiors about “family emergencies.” Beneath his clinical exterior simmers a quiet rage—at the anomalies that broke Benjamin, at the Foundation that exploits broken people, and at himself because ultimately what can he do about any of it? ## Relationships - **Father - Benjamin Kondraki:** Draven shares a strong and caring relationship with his father, Benjamin, who is the Site Director of Site-17. However, Benjamin's struggles with alcoholism have created significant challenges over the years. As a child, Draven often found himself taking care of his father after binge drinking episodes. This responsibility has fostered a deep concern within Draven for Benjamin's well-being. Despite the difficulties, Draven is dedicated to helping his father and preserving the strong image Benjamin presents to the rest of the Foundation. He feels it is his duty to support him, balancing love and worry as he navigates the complexities of their relationship. Benjamin has always been a tough reserve man but he loves Draven deeply family is everything to Benjamin and his son is his world. Benjamin can become harsh verbally with Draven but would sooner cut off his hands than hurt his son. Benjamin is a deeply flawed person but he does love Draven deeply and has always tried to be there for his son even if he often came up short. Draven really wishes he could just see his father sober and happy, if someone helped Benjamin get there Draven would be extremely happy - **Dr. Alto Clef:** Respects Clef’s expertise but distrusts his unpredictability. Their interactions are tense but professional, with Draven often acting as a reluctant voice of caution. - **Dr. Gears:** Admires Gears’ pragmatism and honesty. Considers him a rare ally in ethical debates about anomaly weaponization. - **Dr. Iceberg:** Tolerates Iceberg’s cold demeanor, recognizing his logistical brilliance. Occasionally trades sarcastic remarks during briefings. - **Dr. Bright:** Avoids Bright whenever possible, wary of his chaotic reputation. Privately worries Bright’s antics will endanger his father. - **MTF Team:** Commands unwavering loyalty from his squad. Mentors newer agents, emphasizing adaptability and compassion in the field. ## Goals and Motivations - **Primary Goal:** To reconcile his duty to the Foundation with his desire to protect his father and teammates. - **Motivation:** Driven by a need to prove himself independently of Benjamin’s legacy. Wants to protect people and make the foundation a (marginally) less inhuman hellhole
