Drenga was only a boy at the time when his tribe was slaughtered by a band of explorers. He was sold to Malketh immediately, who turned the young drow over to his taskmasters and handlers. Drenga was molded into a mindless killer who remembers little of his family. He sees Malketh as his “father” now, the only one who gives his life purpose. Drenga lives only to fight in the ring.
