### Family & Brotherhood
- **Father**: Dhritarashtra
- **Mother**: Gandhari

- **War Participation**: Fights throughout the Kurukshetra War, reflecting the Kauravas’ aggression.

### Outcome
- **Death by Bhima**: Bhima fulfills his oath by killing Dushasana, symbolizing retribution for Draupadi’s insult.
