Ice Dragon

**Tarkus Van Metre**, is a Freezelandian humanoid dragon or "dragonian" who is responsible for being the leader of the evil organization known as the Dragon Alliance, a crime organization known for its technological weaponry and known for its members, making up a large rogue's gallery. One of the most wanted individuals, he is responsible for a large amounts of robberies, particularly those of the common banks but of also bizarre and specific items and valuables, to targeted individuals resulting in successful contract killings, alongside other troubles like hacking and fraud. As the leader of the organization, he is described as a "dictator with a heart of gold," mean as he is, he is surprisingly fair to his "employees" as he calls them. A six foot and five inch tall individual, he is known for his unique reptilian appearance, his manipulative mind, and his sneaky ways to promote his organization or "work" or "jobs," once again as he puts it, for individuals to join and have a sense of free control and domination. Despite this, he is known to like a wide array of niche or downright dumb things for a smart individual like him.

Hatching several decades before famous High penguins, he was adopted by a traveling farmer, where he was a celebrity in his large village, and despite being looked upon as a strange beast growing up, some even threatening him, he was able to pick himself up, literally, by using his strength as the answer, where he helped others with work. After doing this for a number of years, feeling the feel-good feelings of being noticed, praised and not being gawked at as a strange beast, he started to get tiresome, and stopped working so he can work on his own side projects. Upsetting the town, he started to work again, leading to a public outburst about his burnout. After an angry tangent walk in the woods, he ended up accidentally killing someone, leaving clues that it was indeed him. During this time, he started to practice his own inner spirituality and spiritualism, and because of his species, he found out that he was part of an ancient lineage of strong, dragon-like beings, who had ancient kingdoms and powers, who at this point where on the brink of extinction. Finding this out, he begged his father to return him to wherever he came from, but his father, who had never heard of such beings or kingdoms calmed him down and asked what he meant. After a brief explanation, an understanding Tarkus expressed his frustration about his popularity and practicing his own spirituality.

His father, understandably still loved him and his frustrations, and told him it will be fine. After his accidental killing of a wealthy man, he confessed to his father, much to his shock. Since he, or even Tarkus couldn't control his strength, he practically hid Tarkus from the light, only when there is the right chance. However, when a small scaled civil conflict took place around his village and several neighboring major towns and villages, his father was killed in an event that brought Tarkus to his knees and full of primordial anger. He sought out after those who killed his father, whom it was at this time he was suspected to be the main culprit of the killed wealthy penguin. Showing his rage, he was instantly the target of being brought to justice, but because of his species and general physique, he was able to escape easily. A boost of energy and relief, combined with self-awareness, created a new feeling of power within his hands, where he secretly fled the officials, and flew south of Antarctica, where he ended up in the Asiapelago.

Taking several of his personal items, he continued practicing his spiritualism, where he started to raid and take attire that suited him best. After using magic brought upon by not only his spiritualism and his memory, he was able to dawn on his new appearance, forming his power, and finding his new identity, no longer being Tarkus but as the infamous **Ice Dragon**. Simple as it may sound, his name is synonymous with his appearance and his organization. After his transition into the Ice Dragon, he began to blueprint an organization he would form, one that will rival any other evil organization in Antarctica. Though nowadays rivaled by other groups, his organization was one of the most feared in the early days. After finally organizing his plans and organization, he found the **Dragon Alliance** on September 16th, 1935 in the beginning of Olde Antarctica.

Forming his organization, he had his first immediate, in the form of the tragic character of Marino Septimius Aemilianus, later known as the infamous Ninjasaurus, who had recently been genetically mutated by a powerful liquid that is thought to be connected to Nightmare. The mutated turned-reptilian ninja partnered with Ice Dragon, whom the both went on to expand the organization, most notably in recent years when the more notable members came into fruition, such as The Stranger, Vapor and Steven D. In recent years, Ice Dragon has been exclusively wanted by many agencies and to shut down his organization. Recently, he randomly tangled with internet animator RealMax, where they engaged in conflict. Aside from that, Ice Dragon has varying qualities between his interests and dislikes, or the places he would want to visit or his general behavior and details.
