Dantrag Baenre

Dantrag Baenre was a drow fighter, and formerly the Weapons Master of House Baenre in Menzoberranzan. He was considered the most formidable warrior in the city once Zaknafein was dead. Dantrag always envied Zaknafein's reputation, and had a great desire to best him in combat; however, Zaknafein was sacrificed to Lolth before the two could meet in combat. Dantrag did, however, get the opportunity to challenge Zaknafein's son, Drizzt Do'Urden, the famed renegade. As Drizzt attempted to escape the Underdark with Catti-brie and Artemis Entreri, Dantrag attacked him in a tunnel, leading to an epic confrontation of swordsmanship. Ultimately, Drizzt proved the superior warrior (largely due to his father's training), and Dantrag was killed by Drizzt in the Underdark passage.

Personality
Dantrag appeared to be an honorable warrior, preffering not to attack unarmed opponents or to strike from behind. However, this attitude was largely due to Dantrag's highly-developed sense of pride; he believed that no-one could best him in melee combat. Dantrag was the second boy of House Baenre, behind his brother Gromph Baenre, the archmage of Menzoberranzan - but he had no usurpers aspirations. The only role he desired was that of Principle Master of Melee-Megthere, a position he was not allowed to acquire by his mother, Yvonnel Baenre, due to his usefulness as Weapons Master of House Baenre.

Equipment
Dantrag wore a pair of Bracers of the Blinding Strike on his wrists, which allowed him to wield his two long swords with incredible speed. However, even with these enchanted bracers, he was no match for Drizzt, and upon Dantrag's defeat they passed into the renegade drow's hands. Drizzt now wears them on his ankles, claiming that speedy footwork is just as important as lightning swordplay in a fight. Dantrag also possessed the sentient sword Khazid'hea, which was forged by the surface elves. How this sword came into his possession is unknown, but after his death it returned to the surface in the hands of Catti-brie.
