==Background==
I am Dragonborn fire mage. I was one of the Heroes of Athesia and a member of the Athesia council.  I am a fire dragonborn but also have some poison dragonborn characteristics. These include green scales
and resistance to poison.
After entering the realm with the other dragonborn I travelled to Unity city and spent most of my time: practising magic, practising
my cooking and most importantly trying to find a solution to the problems in my home realm. I hoped to find a solution that would not only let me go between
Athesia and my home but also solve at least the main problem in my realm. After deciding being a scholar was not for me, mainly because most of the books were
too small and were easily damaged by: my claws and tendency to accidentally set things of fire. This earns me the nickname Flametongue but also got me banned from most libraries.
I decided that the best way to find a solution was to go out and look for one and help protect Athesia in the process. I used the military training I had learnt in the Dragonborn Plain to become a General for Athesia and joined the Southern Alliance.
I have had a few meetings with Dr Malando Zevrran the Tiamat scientist. Although some of his experiments are unethical and have tried to kill me one of his most recent experiments may lead to progress in being able to move between the plains and make the trip two ways.
The subject of Dr Malando Zevrran’s wishing to join Athesia. I now wished to help from an alliance or at least peace between the Bahamut tribe and the Tiamat tribe. I have heard that a number of Tiamat wish to ally with the heroes of Athesia. This may result in many things mainly: one less enemy, more allies, and access to the doctor’s discoveries and advances, stopping
of the doctor’s unethical and dangerous experiments and to stop the supply of super solders and weapons to Escarsion Zevrran.
What also interests me is the egg held by Escarsion Zevrran. The problems in our plain seem to be caused by the loss of the Aeon Eggs one of which Escarsion has seemed to have found.
Due to an accident that was not entirely my fault; my
scales have been mutated into Jade. An encounter with an anger carnivores tree
that for some reason would not die, even when on fire, has left me with the belief
that there is no such thing as overkill. I have also had an Elder fire
elemental used to replace one of the scales in my left palm (not by my choosing
or doing). The fire elemental replaced the fire half of my half fire, half
poison dragonborn soul. This has left me with less control over my fire magic
for the time being giving me the desire to burn and consume 
When hunting rogue Jeti I was psychological damaged by the mindless slaughter of innocents that I was unable to stop. In battle, at least one side (my side) is under my control and most of those involved are there to fight and able to defend themselves. I will not pretend there is never any calateral damage but it is nothing compared to seeing a monster that is so
similar to yourself kill defenceless people. This left me with flash backs to that sight with me as the monster when I see similar out comes. I am haunted by the screams of the dead.
I was tricked by another Hero of Athesia into taking a dangerous weapon into the Fay Woods. This was revenge for the destruction of a
bar that belonged to the Hero. I am now banned from the Fay Woods by the Summer Fay.
While I was busy studding the grey dragon Zigorats and helping the elves with the problem of the Empress a piece was made between the 3 dragonborn races and the IO Aeon Eggs was recovered. However, this uncovered
new problems.
Chunks of my home land (the dragonborn vale) started
falling from the sky. The IO were skeletal and had powers they should not possess.
In an attempt to alter the course of one of the falling parts of the Dragonborn vale I was injured and lost the control of my magic when in times of stress. Fire now randomly vents for my jade scales when I am under stress or great pain. However, the falling of this part of the vale allowed
me and some other Heroes of Athesia to predict what would happen with the rest of the Plain. It was not good.
By the end of the year had we not done anything about it the hole Dragonborn Plain would have dropped from the sky from a height of 13 thousand feet. this would result in the liquefaction for the peninsular of Athesia.
Before that could be dealt with first we had to deal with the IO with the help of many Athenian Heroes we discovered that one of the IO priestesses had made a deal with a Grey Dragon giving up faith for long life for the IO. We were able to reverse this deal restoring the IO to their natural form.
Finally the time came to save both the realm of my birth
and the realm I now call home. As some Heroes of Athesia worked on ways to stop the Plain from falling and killing us all I worked on a way to evacuate the Plain. This was necessary just in case that we had to go to a backup plan and disintegrate the plain or incise the landing was not as smooth as planned. With the two other Athenian Heroes we stole the technology for a safe way to jump up to the
plain and then land back on Athesia. I became the first Dragonborn to return to the Plain from Athesia. However, this return trip was short lived as I needed to start the evacuation. With my people evacuated the Plain was roughly landed
in the sea, just off the Athenian cost.
Heralded as the saviour of my people, I decided that my job In Athesia was done. With my home land now conveniently turned into an
Island I retired from the Athenian Counsel and went to relax on the beach.
I was brought back out of retirement for one more
conflict 16 Athenian years after retiring to find it changed once again. I brought with me my nephew thrice removed Kulingle. A gold dragon born cleric who had been helping cleanse my soul from the taint that was put upon by being
an Athenian hero. In return, I was teaching him sorcery. Athesia was being invaded by astral beings stronger and more advanced than any of us. After a few encounters with these creatures, temporarily causing my scales to glow and a successful mission to free extract the Elder Fire Elemental from my body and soul; I joined forces with the heroes of Athesia once again with my nephew by my side for one last final battle. We fought bravely but were forced back by their superior power. Until there was a massive explosion as their astral ship was destroyed cutting them off from the source of their power. They were then defeated.
With the Elder Fire Elemental out of my body, I finally felt safe to retire once more. I stayed in Athesia to teach Sorcery to the next generation of heroes until I finally declared that I am too old for this stuff and went back to my beach on the Dragonborn Island. Kulingle became a new hero for Athesia. When I eventually died of old age my jade body was turned into a statue in the main city of the Dragonborn Island.
