Uganza is a hermit who lives atop the mountain above Lower Bliss. He is Felix’s mentor and father figure, having taken him in when he was 14. Though he appears as a human wizard, it has been revealed that he is an ancient platinum dragon.

### Appearance

In appearance Uganza looks like a human in his late 40s/early 50s, with dark hair greying at the sides and eyes that change colour depending on the circumstances, most commonly being ice blue or burning orange. He stands at around 6’1, when choosing this form he specifically polymorphed himself to be exactly one inch taller than his friend who he modelled the body after purely to irritate him. His usual outfit consists of a grey and pale yellow tunic under white and silver wizards robes.

### Trivia

There is still much that is unknown about Uganza’s past (and present) but known facts about him include:

- He hatched from his egg in a cavern either on the draconic plane or in the Underturned.

- As a young wyrmling he somehow ended up in Talahmnna and was hunted by humans until he took refuge in the cavern that has since become his home.

- Throughout his formative years he impersonated humans in order to learn about their culture and make friends.

- He trained for at least a century at a monastery on a different mountain.

- He befriended an Empress and her daughter.

- Uganza is skilled in chronomancy, dunamancy and planar magic. It is suggested he is somehow involved in taking care of the multiverse.

- He has bonded for life with a golden dragon by the name of Tyr, but is unable to reach her due to her being exiled.

- Uganza is a connoisseur of tea, but his favourite blend is red mountain heather. He is capable of drinking scalding hot liquids without issue.

- He sleeps on the floor in increasingly odd positions. He has slept in a bed on less than five separate occasions.

- Uganza is friends with a celestial hound. He is their favourite being. He gives them belly scratches.

- Uganza’s magic often feels like warm sunlight with thunder rolling underneath, but Felix experiences this as a gentle embrace. His magic will wrap around Felix’s protectively whenever in close proximity.

- Uganza has at one point been a celestial knight, and fought in the Planar War.

- He is trapped in his polymorphed form due to a pact he made to protect a fae child. This means he is unable to revert to his draconic body and fly to his wife’s island to visit her.

- Uganza has outlived every friend he has ever had bar two.

- There is a stained glass window depicting a highly styalised image of him in the Citadel chapel in the same style as the mural Ameretti painted on the ceiling of his cave.

- Uganza is friends with, or at least on speaking terms with 3 major deities/entities: The Guide; The Editor and The Archivist.

- He has an unconscious ability to read thoughts if he isn’t concentrating - this can create awkward situations for example hearing Felix thinking about how hot Pukanis is

- Though he uses mage hand to occasionally give Felix a light hit to the back of the head, Uganza has only injured Felix once, purely by accident.

- It is implied Uganza has committed horrible atrocities in times of war. The nature of these is unknown.

- In dragon form, Uganza would barely fit in the cavern.

- He finds it amusing to occasionally enter drinking contests in taverns, knowing full well his dragon’s alcohol tolerance is beyond any who may accept the challenge.
