## Biography

### Backstory

Before the events of ''Dinosaur Planet;;, Scales was born an orphan where he grew up with the SharpClaw Tribe with a hatred against authority and was feared by many when he was a total bully to them. As he grows up as an early teen, he became the youngest general where he participated in many battles. From his lust of power, he succeeded in an act of a coup against the original Tribe leader and took the Tribe for himself.

After being denied to become a ruling tribe, he meets up with the Kamerian Dragon, Drakor and makes a deal with him. Capture Prince Tricky and Princess Kyte so the tribes would turn against each other as well as gaining enough Kamerian technology to reverse engineer to create weapons, transportation and ships for his conquest of Sauria.

Eventually he soon takes control of the two Force Point Temples and uses the magic extract from Sauria's core for evil and later goes to Warlock Mountain to lay waste against the EarthWalkers and met up with Randorn where he defeats him in his battle against him but spares his life after agreeing to let him rest for a while.

Departing Warlock Mountain, Scales soon met Krystal aboard his battleship, Galleon, where he explained his encounter with Randorn and plans on visiting Kyte's mother. Krystal tries to stop him, but Scales knocks her off and told her she would have to kill her to rescue Kyte. He was then struck by lightining while his fate can be optional, get knocked off the Galleon or stay there and turns invisible.

As Krystal returns to the Galleon, Scales makes his move to steal the Galleon back, leaving Kystal behind at Warlock Mountain. He soon goes on his crusade to search for the SpellStones where he meets up with Garunda Te and demands to know the location of a SpellStone with Garunda refusing the offer, only for his daughter, Belina, to tell him about its location to save the SnowHorn Tribe. Keeping Garunda's word, he spares them but also keeps them prisoners at Dark Ice Mines.

At CloudRunner Fortress, he is seen interrogating the Queen CloudRunner to know where to find the next SpellStone, but the queen refuses to spill it out and tells him he was a fool for believing Drakor into granting him what he want which he ignored and demanded her to bring the Spellstone. However, the Queen CloudRunner didn't obliged as he soon orders his sentries to execute her, killing her in the progress, captures krystal when her presence was discovered by a sentry and places her in the dungeon.

After Krystal rescues the first of Kyte's siblings, he's seen speaking with a SharpClaw learning that not all CloudRunners' gold are onboard and tells him to hurry it up and vows an ultimatum on Kyte to destroy everything she loves and intends to kill her if she doesn't tell him where she hidden the SpellStone.

He reaches deep into CloudRunner Fortress with some SharpClaws where he is seen annoyed with one of them messing around with the SpellStone after they found it and orders the SharpClaw bring it to him. Krystal comes out of hiding and wonders how Scales survived and he responds he was gifted powers that she can only dream of and teleports away.

After Krystal attempts to place the fifth SpellStone in the Desert Force Point Temple, he makes his final appearance where he attempts to stop her from putting the SpellStone in by telling her that she won't return to her homeworld if he does so but krystal says she would rather be marooned on Sauria than to let it be under Scales' tyranny. After inserting the SpellStone in, they get teleported to a desert area where they fall. Krystal landed on an oasis while Scales gets paralyzed from a rock which injures him. The Bonehead then appears and tells Krystal to retrieve it as it was revealed to be utilized from kamerian technology while Kyte states it became useless before the Bonehead informs them to bring it to the mutant of Willow Grove and decides to watch over Scales. Scales then vows to have his revenge before collapsing and goes unconscious.
