Identity theories

Yuillegan:
Good ideas, all!

I think Cadmus, Theseus, and other demigods (in the traditional sense of being children of gods and mortals) are likely candidates.

I am not at all convinced Drakul is a dragon, as the only evidence for that is that is an interpretation of his name (not even necessarily the most correct one). IF we want to delve into Drakul's origins in that sense we should start another thread.

I think we need to look at famous characters (both historically and legendary).

I doubt Drakul sets himself up as a ruler very often, Jim says he often just works with a small team. So less Atilla the Hun and more Jack the Ripper etc.

I suspect the same applies to Odin although perhaps not quite as much flying below the radar. Beowulf, Galahad/Lancelot/another Knight/warrior, Cu Culchain (as Con said), St George is a good one as Vadderung is also St Nick etc.

These are some of my guesses -

Drakul: Jack the Ripper, Procrustes the Stretcher, Peter Niers, Christman Genipperteinga.

Odin: Beowulf, Knight of the Round Table, Theseus, Siegfried, Cu Culchlain. 

Conspiracy Theorist:
I think Drakul has posed as a Dragon and is not necessarily is a Dragon

In Arthurian Lore the Dragonslayer is Sir Palomeides a Saracen who converted to Christianity who slew the Questing Beast as part of the quest for the Holy Grail which does exist in the Dresdenverse. His companions were Sir Percival and Sir Galahad, the latter most likely a Knight of the Sword. What if this is how Odin got his Soulfire from the White God? By aiding in the quest to recover the Grail? From Sir Palomeides this would open the door to Odin being Saint George and St Nicholas. the Soulfire allowed Odin to resurrect the Einenjharen into the mortal plane, necessary for his current occupation.

I think Drakul and Junior were was involved in Arthurian Lore, Drakul as the Questing Beast, and Junior as Mordred.

This would mean Odin never met a dragon he wasn’t willing to fight. Ever.
