## Bio

*"Come on, Shattermaster. Let’s show them what a REAL rider and his Dragon can do."*
― Dagur the DerangedThere has been a lot of speculation as to what happened to Shattermater between being injured by a boulder while saving The Edge from Dragon Hunters and his brief return as the ring bearer in Dagur and Mala’s wedding. Although there is something of truth in these speculations, the truth might be a bit closer to the heart.

Fishlegs, who fancies himself somewhat of an expert in Dragon Sociology has this to say on the matter:

The thought of Shattermaster and Dagur working together was a bit of a ‘what the Thor’ moment for me. There are a lot of wild Dragons we were keeping track of near The Edge, looking for those we might tame. Shattermaster was one of my first picks. I have a soft spot for Gronckles, but even among those beautiful beasts, Shattermaster stood out as more intelligent and resourceful than any of his pack.

I grew up with Dagur. Even when trying to be a better man, he was always kind of a maniac. It’s not the best personality for a Dragon like Shattermaster. Also, seeing Dagur responding to this majestic and intelligent animal in a way I could only call ‘underwhelmed’ set my teeth on edge. Even after they bonded and started coming up with all those battle tactics together, I still thought it was a bit weird.

I’m not criticizing either of them with this, but you could see the cracks in their partnership coming from a mile away. Don't get me wrong, either one of them would have sacrificed himself to save the other, but that’s just what it all led to, isn’t it?
Shattermaster went so far beyond what any other Dragon would have done to get the approval of their rider, And although Dagur was appreciative when it benefited him, I don’t think he noticed that Shattermaster was trying so hard. In the end the poor Dragon burned himself out.

I cared for him for weeks after his injury. Dagur only really showed up to talk about the amazing adventures he was having with Sleuther. I could tell that really hurt Shattermaster in deeper ways than the boulder crushing his ribs ever could. But he got over it. He moved on. He went back to his pack for a while. I would see him flitting around in the hills, free as a bird. I think he found himself again.

When the wedding happened, though it was different. I don’t think Shattermaster would have come if he wasn’t truly happy for his ex partner. And to be honest, Dagur was super happy to see him. I don’t think Dagur really has the kind of emotional depth that leads to reflection on his behavior if you know what I mean. But I think it was significant that he asked Shattermaster to be the ringbearer for his wedding. I always wondered if that was Dagur’s way of saying sorry. Sleuther was a bit miffed by that, but meh. Dragons are crazy.

I’ve seen Shattermaster around the Edge of New Berk lately tho. Hanging around watering holes, giving young vikings the side glance. I don’t know. I think he might be ready to try again. Do you know any single riders?
