## Biography

### *Prince Lander and the Dragon War*

When Prince Lander and Prince Lemual went to visit the Drekkers in hopes of resolving the Division of Lener's Crossroads, they meet Biggting Pusher, who is described to be as large as both Lander and Lemual put together. When Doove does not answer Prince Lander's question about the ongoing game, Biggting arrives, telling the princes to forgive Doove's sudden density. He proceeds to tell them that the match is between the Gates Hale Raiders and the Tane-side Chippers, and that he is for the Chippers. He adds that Doove is rooting for Gates Hale, and assures the princes that Gates Hale will be walloped (Doove groans at Biggting). Prince Lander thanks him, and asks his name. He answers that his name is Biggting Pusher, and that, like his dad, he is a Pusher (presumably someone who pushes heavy objects for a living). He asks if the princes need anything pushed, as he is free from pushing work at that time and will soon be killed off sentry duty. Doove and the other soldiers groan. Biggting says that he will happily push anything they want, and tells them to just point and say push. He laughed, and mimed pointing and pushing. He told the princes that his dad always says that, and it makes him laugh like an idiot every time. Doove, shaking his head and moaning, repeats his words about being like an idiot. Prince Lander says that he actually does need something pushed, right beside where the match is being played. Biggting instructs Lander to follow him, boasting about his pushing abilities as they go. Prince Lander then asks if he is close to the Drekker chief. Biggting replies that he's not exactly allowed near the chief, because of a mistake that he or the chief made, he's not sure whose it was, but that other than the proximity ban it could be said that he was pretty close. Prince Lander and Prince Lemual followed Biggting through the Drekker camp. Biggting was walking in long strides, and his head was held very high, and in Lander's opinion it was a bit too high, as he couldn't see the path well and tripped often. When they reach a clearing, Prince Lander watches the game (which looked like a fight—some rabbits were blocking, some were pushing, others were kicking and tackling, and others were in a pile). Someone struck a brass cymbal, and the players stopped. Biggting clapped, yelling to the Chippers that that was a good one, and would show the others. Prince Lemual inquired who was winning, but Biggting said that he had no idea. While Lander is talking with Chief Heckle, the chief mentions that Biggting Pusher was a good example of the hot-temperedness of youngsters. Lander said that Biggting didn't seem at all hot-tempered, but Chief Heckle only laughed and patted Lander's arm. When Lander returns from talking with Chief Heckle, he finds Prince Lemual facing off against Haldorn, who he describes as being even bigger and stronger than Biggting Pusher.
