Viren

THIS PAGE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE DRAGON PRINCE
===Introduction===
Lord Viren was a middle-aged NightWing who worked as high mage of Katolis. He was accepted by King Harrow as a brother, and he was the father to Soren, Claudia, and The Being. He held the position as one of Aaravos’s favorite pawns.
===Appearance===
====Physical====
Viren is a tall, intimidating NightWing. He has a sharp jawline and a regal stance, with near-perfect posture. He has curved, blunt talons worn down from anxious scraping and straight horns. The spikes on his head and slightly longer than average, and he moves very stiffly, as if in constant pain. He has a staff he often uses for walking as well.
====Coloration====
Viren has mostly dark brown scales in his normal form, that have faded and grayed with age. His underbelly is a light skin tone, and the spikes down his back are black. A streak of gray is prominent on his chin, and there are streaks of gray in his brown horns. His eyes are a pale gray that appear a light lilac in certain lighting. 
Corrupted Form: Viren’s corrupted form results in his scales becoming completely gray, with massive splotches of black and darker gray. His eyes are pitch black, sclera, Iris and all, and his horns and spikes are white. He has gray purple scar-like markings over his eyes and in his underbelly in this form as well.
====Accessories====
Viren has a lavish style of dress. He often adorns himself with pale gray robes with a yellow hem and red on the inside. He has a book holder strapped over his left hip, and his cloak typically has a collar that sticks up around his throat. His staff is known as the “relic staff” or the “Staff of Ziard”. It was gifted to the first dark mage, Ziard, by one of the “great ones”. Viren uses this staff to help channel his magical ability, or as a piercing weapon.
After his infiltration of Lux Aurea, Viren wore a simple white robe.
====Scars====
After his fatal fall from the top of the Storm Spire, Viren gained a long slash-like scar extending from the right side of his temple to the back of his head. This scar was typically concealed by paint Viren used to hide the injury. Eventually he lost access to the paint and it became apparent. On his back right leg Viren has a jagged and blossoming lightning scar from his original encounter with Avizandum. His back right leg also sustained another wound across his knee, making it Viren’s weaker limb.
===Abilities===
====Tribal====
Fire: Viren has the ability to breathe fire, though like most of his family members he typically doesn’t. Viren prefers to use dark magic, and finds it easier than actually breathing fire himself. Since he never uses his fire, his ability to breathe it is incredibly weak.
Night Vision: Viren can see in the dark fairly well, not as well as a SeaWing, but moderately decently.

====Harrow====
The speculation on Harrow and Viren’s relationship was rumored and gossiped about by the citizens of Katolis. Harrow and Viren had been close friends since they were dragonets, but they’ve been known to have explosive fights. 
When Harrow was coronated and became King, he asked Viren to stand by his side for his official portrait, setting a precedent. Viren came to Harrow with a “creative solution” on how to solve the ongoing famine in Katolis and the kingdom of Duren. Queen Sarai tried in vain to convince Harrow not to go through with Viren’s plan, but she accompanied Harrow on the journey to slay a magma Titan, regardless of her feelings on it. When Viren stayed behind to help the queens of Duren fend off Avizandum, Sarai went back to rescue him, knowing how much he meant to Harrow. Sarai ended up dying in Viren’s arms after she saved him from Avizandum, and Viren was permanently injured. Viren stood by Harrow’s side at Sarai’s funeral, and comforted him when he had to tell Callum his mother was dead. 
Not long after, Viren offered Harrow a way to get revenge on Avizandum. Harrow took it and the two journeyed into Xadia and confronted the king of the dragons. Harrow used a spear enchanted by Viren’s magic to kill the archdragon, while Viren held him at bay. Harrow was knocked off his horse and injured his leg, while Viren went and stole the dragon king’s egg. 
After killing Avizandum, Harrow and Viren’s relationship quickly deteriorated, and they grew irritable with each other. While Harrow was under threat of Moonshadow Assassins, Viren gave him the chance to save himself by switching his souls with a two headed Soulfang Serpent. Viren begged Harrow to take his solution, but Harrow refused, reminding Viren that he was just a servant to Katolis, nothing more.
When cast into a fever dream after almost dying, Viren recalls his relationship with Harrow. Viren is grateful to be with Harrow again, and admits how much he’s missed him. They hug and Viren says that all he ever wanted was to mean something to him. Viren always wondered if this Harrow was just a figment of his imagination, or if in his dark-magic induced coma he somehow made a connection with Harrow’s spirit.

*They’re themesongs are We Have It All by The Pim Stones and Daylight by David Kushner
*In the actual show Harrow is always pictured as above Viren, accenting the differences in their statuses. Then, when Viren’s at his most vulnerable, Harrow bends down to his level, in order to lift Viren up
“He insisted I stand by him for the painting…because he knew I would stand by him through anything.” -Viren to Claudia about Harrow
