• He trains the boys along with his own son Ashwatthaman  
• He had impressive military skills

• Arjuna is the only student who passed his test

• Drona wants his students to capture king Drupada
• This is because Drona was betrayed by Drupada
• They had once been friends
• Drona wants revenge
• The king is captured and brought to Drona
• Drona takes half of the kingdom and gives the other half back
