Akaros

Akaros, the Destroyer is the draconic aspect of destruction. He is one of the Ascendant Dragons.
== Description ==
One of the most violent aspects, Akaros flings himself into conflict before considering the consequences. Luckily for the Akaros, he is rarely the one who has to bear the brunt of those consequences. Akaros' immense power means that he is the only Akaros to have existed, and is one of the two firsts still remaining, the other being Nox.
== History ==
Like all of the original Ascendant Dragons, Akaros was born from Luna to aid with the apocalypse begun by Meyrin's arrival. Afterward, he settled in what would be called the Dragonlands. He allowed others to also dwell in the land, though it was a hostile land made moreso by Akaros' presence. Eventually, the settlers there decided to attempt to cleanse the land of evil creatures including Akaros. They inevitably failed, though by Akaros' claim, he never took direct action until they attacked him first. 
When the Calamity struck, Akaros intended to remain neutral, but was betrayed by one of his allies. His essence was removed from his body, and locked away behind a demon door (beneath Mudwall?). Around 900 years later, Belxari accidentally freed him, and he wandered about aimlessly for a time until he began to remember himself. After Belxari ascended to godhood, she sought him out and offered to help him figure out what happened and fix it. She placed him inside a dormant sky elf warforged that was being repaired by Andy Greene in Wolis. Unbeknownst to anyone, the warforged was still alive, and over some time Akaros found he was able to power the warforged. 
Not realizing that the disembodied dragon god of destruction was within him, Andy allowed the warforged, named Teer, to be free, offering him a task to accomplish while he learned about the world and the place warforged had in it. It was during this adventure that Akaros revealed himself fully to Teer and his party members. Nox appeared, using the skeleton of a slain dragon to communicate with him, expressing his pleasure at seeing him alive, if not well. It was eventually revealed that it was Nox who betrayed and attacked Akaros, intending to become the only Ascendant Dragon. 
Akaros accidentally became friends with the party, going so far as to interpose himself between Renn and Lysaro. It was he who first realized that the being inside Kiono's halberd was Time. In particular Akaros seemes to have gained a particular fondness for Teer. 
Akaros consumed a sound monster in the remains of the Tomb of Silence beneath the Alibrook starter dungeon and elements within Donjon, allowing him to regain some of his former strength. His is able to manifest as clothing for Teer and has more recently shown the ability to create a form solid enough to have combat applications.
