Draka horseskull
Matron of wyverns
Draka was a courageous warrior of the Horseskull clan, the mate of Durotan, and the mother of Go'el.
As a teenager, Draka asked the clan's shaman if there was any way to strengthen her sickly body. Visited by a vision of the ancestors, The shaman told Draka that there was a way, but it could mean death. The shaman sent Draka on a hunt to obtain a wing feather of windroc, horn of talbuk, and fur of clefthoof. From the three ingredients, Kashur claimed that she could make a potion to cure Draka's illness.
Young Draka started her adventure alone. She had never been allowed to join any orcish hunts, and now she had to learn from the world itself. As time passed, Draka's skill increased and, although still weak, she defeated and claimed her first kill of windroc.
Draka was successful in defeating a talbuk and a clefthoof and obtained all the ingredients she needed. She returned back to the shaman, who revealed the true meaning of Draka's hunt, that the ingredients and potion were not truly needed. The hunt itself had been intended to make Draka a strong and determined horseskull orc. In the end, now proud and beautiful, Draka joined a Kosh'harg celebration, where she was noticed by Durotan and Orgrim Doomhammer.
The next day, Durotan asked her to join him on a hunt, something which often meant that a male orc intended to choose a female mate. Draka responded that she was too young to be anyone's mate. Durotan then insisted that it would be simply a hunt and nothing more.
They set out on their first hunt, where Durotan was injured by a lion. However, together the two orcs were able to kill the beast. Draka said that she reached her adulthood today. They kissed, marking the beginning of their relationship.
After this, Draka stood by Durotan and his decisions through the years, although she did not like the situation of the orcs. Draka, Durotan, and their clan were exiled and found their homes.
Before leaving, Draka and Durotan visited Durotan's mother Geyah. Draka told her she was pregnant, and Durotan added that the child would be named Go'el.
The guards had heard every word between Orgrim and his visitors. They decided they didn't need Gul'dan's permission to eliminate the Horseskull - clearly, he would want Durotan, Draka, and their child dead. After traveling for several days, the guards fell upon Durotan and Draka. The Horseskulls fought bitterly against their attackers, killing one of them. But the remaining guards struck down Durotan and Draka, and Go'el was left to die.
History
A Warrior Made
When Draka was born, she was a weak and sickly orc. Not only did her Horseskull clan-mates discriminate against her, but orcs from other clans also claimed she was a dishonor to the orcish race. Blackhand said that if she was born in his clan, she would have been drowned at a young age. Draka and her family were forced to move to the outskirts of the Horseskull village by Garad.As a teenager, Draka asked the clan's shaman if there was any way to strengthen her sickly body.

Rise of the Horde
Durotan met Draka at the celebration. He was surprised to see her and was not sure whether she was of the Horseskull. But then he remembered that she and her parents were exiled from the village because she was very sick. But now it seemed that she had overcome her illness.The next day, Durotan asked her to join him on a hunt, something which often meant that a male orc intended to choose a female mate.

Death
Draka gave birth to Go'el, child of Durotan, shortly before joining her chieftain on his secret meeting with their old comrade Orgrim Doomhammer. There Durotan explained what he knew about Gul'dan, the Shadow Council, and the demonic bargain. Orgrim decided it was time to stop the evil orc. He urged Durotan and Draka to take shelter in their village until he sent word to them. Orgrim commanded his guards to accompany the Horseskulls on their journey home and keep them safe. That would be a mistake that Orgrim would regret to his dying day. His guards were not loyal to him, but to the Shadow Council.The guards had heard every word between Orgrim and his visitors.
