**Mordain Asclepius** is the Prince of the Asclepius Clan and was the former best friend of Kezess Indrath before their falling out over the actions Kezess took against the Djinns that led to their extermination. Among the Asuras, very few know of what actually transpired between Mordain and Kezess which caused Mordain to disappear. Eventually rumors about Mordain's disappearance circulated throughout Epheotus and people began to call him the Lost Prince and believe that he had left Epheotus to join Agrona Vritra.

It is revealed he and his clan tried to save the Djinn but were able to save only a few of them and later took hiding deep in the beast glades alongside other Asuras who oppose Kezess and Agrona as Mordain is an enemy to both of them.

it is revealed that he welcomes Aldir and Wren who both has rebelled against Kezess because of his selfishness that led to the death of the Dijnn, elves and Taci also lead the Asura astray and to oppose Agrona. As Mordain and Agrona are enemies because Agrona kept one of the phoenixes a female named Dawn as a prisoner when Mordain wanted to make peace with him. Dawn was then executed by the Legacy. Later, he sends Avier to fetch Arthur Leywin to bring him to the Beast Glades and meet with him.

## Appearance

He is a tall man with an athletically graceful physique with eyes blazing like the sun. He wears a golden robe stylized with golden feathers and flames over a cream coloured silk tunic and dark pants. He has markings like feathers burning like a coal downs the sides of his face, which had the same air of eternal youth like Kezess Indrath but where Lord Indrath could only appear as smug and dispassionate but Mordain's sharp lined face conveyed an undeniable sense of curisoity and wisdom as Arthur describes him.

## Personality

He is the polar opposite of Kezess Indrath unlike Kezess who is corrupted, power hungry, selfish and short sighted Mordain is a very calm, patient, polite and wise asura. He does not look down on Lessers and he respect those who catch his interest like Arthur. Like Aldir He values intelligent life, Asuras or Lessers in general, as he attempted to save the Dijnn. Unlike Kezess's brusque, dispassionate and lofty way of welcoming as when Lord Indrath met Arthur, Mordain welcomes Arthur in a very curious, kind, formal, and polite way. He is very patient as shown with Arthur who was angry with Aldir because of Elenoir's destruction under Kezess's orders and defended Arthur from Chul who was angry with Arthur and Mordain himself. Arthur because of making threats against their guest Aldir and Mordain not making a move against Agrona for killing Chul's mother, Dawn.

## Relationships

**Kezess Indrath**: They were best friends but later became enemies as they disagreed over the Djinn when Kezess exterimnated them which led to a fallout between them and the destruction of their friendship becoming enemies. As Mordain disappeared from Epheotus and the Asclepius Clan was removed from The Great Eight.

**Aldir**: It is unknown what their relationship was before, but later Mordain sheltered him when Aldir defected from Kezess's service and Mordain attempted to defend him from Arthur but Aldir stopped him.

**Wren Kain**: He shelters him alongside Aldir when they departed from Epheotus after Aldir's defection.

**Arthur Leywin:** He heard about him from Aldir and Wren and was quited surprised about him that Arthur is a reincarnate and the bond of Kezess's granddaughter but he was convinced that meeting Arthur is not worth the risk. However after some talking from Aldir and Wren he sends Avier to fetch him. When they meet Mordain smiles and welcomes him in a very kind way to which Arthur is grateful for him and he asks if he is planning to help them against Agrona and Kezess to which Mordain tells him to join them and discuss the valid point. He and Arthur talk about a Djinn city which Arthur saw in his last trial in the Relictombs burned by Kezess. When Mordain attempts to defend Aldir, Aldir stops Mordain and accepts all of Arthur's anger as it is understandable. He also defends Arthur from Chul who is angry because of making threats against Aldir as Arthur has the right to speak his mind. Later, Mordain agrees to Arthur's request by sending with him the Djinn-Phoenix hybrid Chul who wants revenge against Agrona for killing his mother Dawn after a sparring match between them indicating their strong alliance unlike Arthur's tenous alliance with Lord Indrath. Later Arthur shows the egg Sylvie turned into after her sacrifice to Mordain's Shock and Mordain explains there is an asuran legend says that true self sacrifice is rewarded with rebirth. After two months Mordain meets Arthur again and explains the dragons are in Dicathen as a part of Arthur and Kezess deal but warns to Arthur to be careful as Kezess is not easy. They part on good terms.

**Sylvie Indrath:** He learns about her from Aldir and Wren that she is bonded to Arthur Leywin. He later helps Arthur in reviving her when he shows him a portal to the relictombs and explains the egg she turned into. He meets her after Arthur revives her with help from Aldir where she thanks Mordain for helping Arthur with a bow. Despite Mordain being enemies with Agrona Vritra and Kezess Indrath her father and grandfather Mordain bears no hostility or emnity towards her as she is raised by Arthur. He regards her with a polite and a curious welcome that she is a part dragon and a part Basilisk raised by a human making her an alchemy of contradictions asking where her loyalty lies. She responds with a fierce determination that her loyalty is with Arthur and Dicathen in which he replies that she will always be pulled in three directions as both factions of asura will attempt to manipulate her for their own gains. Mordain demonstrates concern for her and tells Arthur to be careful from Agrona and lord Indrath not to let them use her as a weapon or a shield. He parts with her on good terms indicating their strong alliance.
