Dracomidas

Dracomidas (presumably not his real name) is a Quaartheinian inventor. He is known for being an obnoxious, inconsiderate fool who scares people with his dragon-like flying machines. His location is unknown, for he is currently missing.
== Character ==
=== Appearance ===
He has somewhat grey skin, usually messy with oil. He has unkempt hair and an unkempt beard. His eyes are a greyish green. Normally, he wears a brown cap to cover his balding head; a torn grey apron; dark brown boots and gloves; a brown shirt and brown trousers. He is fairly slight of frame.
=== Personality ===
Generally, he is manic and absorbed in his own inventions. He is obsessed with personal goals to the point where he shuts out the outside world, seen in how he disregards the fears and safety concerns of others when he tests his inventions. 
Extremely critical-minded, he sees the world in blueprints and his first thought while seeing any device or construction is 'How does it work?'. He has a habit of ignoring people, selectively listening, and tinkering. Despite this he is not a cruel or mean person, just obsessive.
=== Skills and Abilities ===
He is an excellent inventor, mechanic and mathematician. Though skinny, he is physically fit. He is an excellent thinker, with a great mind for puzzles.
== History ==
Dracomidas was fascinated with technology as a youth, but mostly invented harmless perpetual-motion toys and clockwork devices. He was tutored in invention by some of the most famous Quaartheinian minds, and as a young man, showed clear and lucid promise as an inventor.
His descent into dragony madness began when his older brother vanished. This bewildering incident remains a mystery; though Dracomidas insisted that his brother had been taken to a lair above the clouds by a great winged beast, few believed him, and thought that the elder brother had died or ran away, and that Dracomidas had imagined the 'winged beast' to deal with the grief.
Dracomidas became obsessed with finding this 'lair above the clouds', and while some of his inventions still benefitted the Quaartheinian people, they were largely just flying machines in increasingly dragon-like styles. These included muzzles that aided breathing in high altitudes, tails to aid steering, claws for landing, and, of course, huge leathery wings. Dracomidas amassed an enormous arsenal of flying suits and machines, found in his sprawling basement when his home burnt down.
Strangely, Dracomidas vanished shortly before his 56th birthday. Civilians claim to have seen him in one of his wing-suits, leaping off a steeple and taking flight, disappearing into the clouds, and not coming down. Usually he would be forced to land, or he'd come to a crash landing, but he was never seen again. He has since become a sort-of cryptid in Quaartheinian folklore.
