Wagner

Wagner the King of the Dragons is a supporting character in the main storyline of erion saga book series, Wagner was the king of the Dragons and one of the most feared beings in Erion. He is short tempered, stubborn, and, rather rude for a king. He was also known as King of the Skies. This name is almost as fitting as his official title; Wagner is the only Dragon aside from Leventhan whose wings are large enough to support flight. Wagner appears to be a wyvern, which is appropriate, as the wyvern is known to be vicious (much akin to the personality of the dragon king) and noble (referencing the royal lineage that Wagner comes from).Wagner is also Boss Of Final Stage of Winterhorn Mountain.
== Profile Overview ==
Wagner is one of the three dragons that exist and it resides in the Winterhorn Ridge Mountain, he is considered the most powerful of all dragons that resides in Erion. it is also is called the King of Dragons and King of the Skies respectively. A powerful, short tempered, and spiteful dragon it is a powerful foe to all that are not dragons. However he is the second most powerful dragon with the first being Leventhan once it had fully grown.
This dragon is dubbed as the "king of the skies" by some of the inhabitants of the erion particularly due to it's great strength and being the most powerful dragon in all of the three existing ones that lives in the icy mountain located in the western realm of erion, until the leventhan became an adult dragon later during the armageddon, over taking wagner as the most powerful dragon in erion and also taking the title of "king of the skies" from this dragon.
== Appearance Traits ==
Wagner is a large mostly crimson colored dragon. His underbelly is grey while he has purple plating scales on his legs and his back, which is reinforced with a pronounced and spiky back. His wings sprout to large claws, his feet have three talons each. His head has two curved horns on the sides.
== Personality Classification ==
As previously stated, Wagner is hotheaded, rude, and stubborn preferring to act on his emotions rather than rational thought especially once he becomes filled with rage. Nonetheless, he seems to care about friendship; much of his anger is generated by sorrow left by the death of his good friend, Hindel. This causes him to fly into a rage whenever seeing a Psypher, his desire for revenge compelling him to attack without thinking. This even went as far as extending his rage to unjustified targets, seeking to destroy whoever defeated the Shadow Knight (his main target of revenge) instead or threaten to burn a forest of his demand wasn't met.
He is, however, rather noble as he will listen to the desires of whoever may have defeated him, accepting them as his equal.
He has a strong distaste of humanoid races, seeing them as corrupt. Wagner sees the danger of the Crystallization Cauldron, swallowing the Ring Titrel to stop the ring from ever being found, and to stop Armageddon. 
== Background Story ==
Demon Lord Odin made a deal with Wagner at one point that resulted in the dragon giving the man some of his blood. Because of this, Odin can never harm Wagner, but is rendered more powerful than he was before. Many of Odin's abilities, such as hovering, may have stemmed from this deal. It is a possibility that Odin may have actually been a regular human before this transaction, and the Valkyries and Berserkers (assuming that Odin's people are his descendants) state of being may only be because of Wagner's blood.
He would often recommend his dear friend Hindel to stay away from humans as Wagner preferred to be, believing them corrupt and dangerous, knowing that Hindel preferred to stay close and that he would meet his demise at some point. Hindel knowing of his fate decided regardless to remain where he was, which eventually ended on his destruction at the hands of Oswald by orders of Melvin. 
At some point Prince Cornelius comes atop Horn Mountain to visit the Dragon Hindel in search of wisdom. He is however met with Wagner and the news that the wise Dragon was killed and that another Dragon is enslaved. Wagner then directs his wrath at Cornelius for possessing a Psypher, the mere look which angers Wagner greatly. Cornelius defeats him but spares Wagner. Sensing his good nature Wagner decides to lend the prince a helping hand, flying him towards the Pooka Village. He reveals the nature of the village as the previous citizens of the kingdom of Valentine who have joined together in order to break the Pooka curse. While Wagner couldn't tell exactly how they pretended to do so, he guided the prince there knowing he would have better chances to succeed. Wagner departs warning the prince that he wouldn't restrain himself should they meet again.
Driven to a rage the Dragon would assault Ringford seeking revenge on Oswald. However Mercedes warns the dragon that the Shadow Knight was no longer around as he was defeated. Wagner then demanded whoever defeated the Shadow Knight to present himself atop Horn Mountain otherwise he would burn Ringford to ashes. Mercedes climbed atop Horn Mountain to present herself as the one who defeated the Shadow Knight. Wagner ridicules Mercedes as young, naive and weak and puts her strength to test. Mercedes tries to calm to raging dragon, and Wagner acknowledges that Mercedes may have defeated the Shadow Knight thanks to her Psypher bow recognizing them as threats to Dragon race. Mercedes vows to not use her weapon for evil so Wagner asks what will she use it for. Mercedes replies that she will use it to defeat the Demon Lord Odin. Wagner is pleased and prefers to let the Psypher users kill each other rather than interfere directly.
He is later visited by former Valentine princess Velvet on the top of the Mountain. Velvet requests Wagner help in order to stop the Cauldron War and with it the chances the Crystalization Cauldron could cause another tragedy like that of Valentine, knowing that Odin had seized the Cauldron while she had the Ring of Titrel. Wagner suggested that he swallowed the ring since he had made a deal with Odin causing the Demon Lord to be unable to harm him thus putting the ring on the safest place possible. Eventually General Brigan tried to offer Velvet in sacrifice to retrieve the ring from the Dragon much to Odin's reluctance. This plan was foiled by Gwendolyn who killed the traitorous general.
Later Odin makes a contract with Oswald to slay the Dragon Wagner in exchange for Gwendolyn, her spear and a Castle. Oswald goes to Horn Mountain to face the Dragon King who is more than eager to get revenge on his friend's name at last. However he is no match for the Belderiver user and is killed. The Ring of Titrel kept by Oswald as spoils and not given to Odin since the ring was never part of the deal, much to the Demon Lord's annoyance.
== Relationships ==
=== Princess Velvet of the Valentine Kingdom ===
She sees wagner as her trust safekeeper, velvet would entrust to the dragon the titrel ring to it's stomach as it's hiding place in order to prevent anyone from finding it that have intentions of using it in evil ways or for anyone who has greed for powers and war domination of the world.
=== Prince Cornelius of Titania ===
Dragon wagner was hostile to him at first due to the fact that he uses a psypher weapon that made the dragon think that he could be the one who killed hindel using a psypher weapon but cornelius explains to the dragon that he was not the one who killed dragon hindel however, wagner was still unfamiliar at psypher users at that moment he decides to launch an attack against cornelius who mistakenly that dragon believes as the killer of hindel, and the two later fought on resulting in cornelius deceisive victory and the dragon was impressed and warm heartedly affected that despite the dragon was hostile to him, cornelius seems to show not to kill the dragon and prefers to spare wagner itself, this act was literally seen by wagner as an act of kindness towards the dragon itself and decides to do a favor for him in return by bringing cornelius to the ruins of the valentine kingdom where the dragon has heard that there are lurking other pookas there that might help him in his situation problem while on the other hand, cornelius has no really intentions of killing the dragon as he just wanted to do self defense for himself and make the dragon stop it's attack towards him by overpowering wagner with his sword skills that will scare the dragon and refain itself from attacking him.
=== Demon Lord Odin ===
Him and wagner made a deal back then before the main storyline events started and they both see each other as "dealing" friends as they both agree to the same thing during the deal, odin made a deal with the dragon to give him some of the dragon's blood in order to strengthen odin's body to make him an overpowered figure in exchange that odin's power can never harm wagner in any way.
=== Fairy Princess Mercedes of the Ringford Kingdom ===
Wagner's reaction to her is relatively the same as the dragon did to cornelius but more hostile as he perceived her species as the most "famed" liars in erion and therefore cannot be trust, mercedes informed that it was not her who killed hindel and as wagner wanted to hear more but without causing any disturbance to fairies in their kingdom, wagner invited mercedes to come to the winterhorn ridge mountain in order to explain there instead of explaining to the dragon in their kingdom homeland to avoid causing disturbance and fear to her people to tell the dragon more about her explanation where mercedes explained that the shadow knight of their kingdom who was the actual killer of hindel insisted that he have died along with her rebellious cousin who launched a revolution against mercedes to take the crown of leadership from her.
=== Oswald the Shadow Knight ===
Wagner despises Oswald with every fiber of his being, due to him killing Hindel. As a result he develops an unquenchable hatred for both Oswald and Psyphers this hatred is such that upon merely seeing a Psypher causes him to go into a furious rampage in which he must be fought and defeated in order to be calmed down. This rage causes to attack Ringford demanding Oswald to fight him. Upon learning of Oswalds 'death' however he would demand proof that Mercedes had done the deed. While he would be beaten and satisfied Oswald would escape the Netherworld due to Odin needing his power. When Oswald met him Wagner would remind Oswald of his deed only to be taunted by Oswald saying he killed a 'lizard' and he would kill another. The two would fight however Wagner would be denied his vengeance as he perished by Oswald's hands in the same spot Hindel had died.
== Abilities ==
Wagner is not only the most aggressive dragon, but he is the most powerful (both qualities disregarding the existence of Leventhan). For one thing, he is capable of flight. This gives him an advantage that Belial and Hindel, bound to the ground, do not have. Wagner is also known for his fire-breathing ability: he often uses this alongside his flying ability, allowing him to avoid attacks whilst attacking. He can create large cyclones that he can only transcend, effectively trapping his enemy. Enemy fire and ice spirits are often known to appear while Wagner is attacking. He is also quite durable as, like Odin, Brigan, Belial and Odette he has fought 4 of the 5 Psypher Wielders, Oswald, Velvet, Mercedes and Cornelius, and has survived the battles, though to be fair 3 of the 4 only fought to calm him down enough to talk while Oswald was actively trying to kill the dragon itself.
== Trivia ==
* Wagner is named after the German composer Richard Wagner, who wrote the opera Der Ring des Nibelungen upon which Odin Sphere is based.
