Overall
Draug can be a rather useful knight if effort is put into him. While he has slightly less defense than other Knights he makes up for it by having more Strength and HP (including a high +10 bonus when you promote him to a General.) and being extremely balanced, despite being a knight, he even has high speed and skill growths (more than his defense as a knight), he actually has low defense, so it is a good idea to keep him as a knight to keep his pretty high defense growths. As such it is a good idea to put Draug on the front lines to go up against powerful foes because as long as there are not any Magic users, he can last long.

In FE11 and FE12, Draug has a very good base and growth in speed. Thus, it is viable to reclass him to a more offensive class such as Pirate, Hunter, and Mercenary. However, his durability will suffer because his HP and defense bases are comparatively low, and he will need to catch up in weapon rank.

Following Marth's orders, Draug became the commander of Grust's garrison.

Archetype
Draugs are early-arriving armored Knight who serve as nice walls in the beginning. They can be difficult to train during early chapters (usually due to the high number of axe users in games that feature the weapon triangle), but can become valuable later on.

List of Draugs
There are others who are considered Draugs, but this is the generally agreed upon list.
 * Arden (FE4)
 * Bors (FE6)
 * Oswin (FE7)
 * Gilliam (FE8)
 * Gatrie (FE9)
 * Meg (FE10)
 * Kellam (FE13)

Etymology
Draug is "Guard" spelled backwards. This is also true of his Japanese name, and the equivalent is true of his name in every other European translation, of the equivalent word in each language.
