Archivist Nachampassesa is the starting hero for the Drakken.
Lore[]
As with most of its kind, Nachampassesa spent the time of his coming of age roaming Auriga in order to add to the Drakken store of knowledge. While mapping a particularly promising fault crater, Nachampassesa fell through into an ancient bunker of the Endless. In a moment of ecstasy driven by Dust, adrenaline, and euphoria, Nachampassesa gained a deep perception of the uses of Dust. When he returned weeks later to study and archive the contents of the bunker, he discovered that it had been looted by Vaulters.
Driven to rage by this act of thievery and vandalism, Nachampassesa tracked and killed the group through a series of tunnels. The experience was formative in more ways than one; he became both claustrophobic and a lifelong enemy of the Vaulter people. To this day he remains wary and mistrustful of the Vaulters and tends to strike before speaking; a level of aggressiveness rare among the pacifist Drakken.

If you play with ELCP there is some changes:
- "Friendly Banner" is available earlier on Level 2 (when it is actually useful).
- "Raptors Eye" moved to Level 3 and connects to "Narrative Master" and "Defender" in order to provide a better path towards "Inspirational Leader".
- "Cultural Ambassador" directly connects to "Narrative Master", "Cold Operator" and "Battlesaur", offering alternative skill paths for generals and governors.
