Gadorf

**Gadorf** was a human-Wyvern Abomination hybrid, Xedros' son, and the Master's subordinate. He ran the criminal underworld for years, accumulating wealth and resources for the Master while he searched for a way to become stronger.

## Appearance

### Human Form

Gadorf's human form was the embodiment of perfection, with light black hair, clear blue eyes and a face that seemed to have been carved out by an artist in love with their own creation, his muscular body almost bulging out of his clothes. However, he seemed more like a patchwork of different humans assembled together with no harmony in his features.

### Wyvern Form

His 4 meter high (13 feet) body was covered with golden scales, two membranous wings folded under his armpits connecting his little fingers to the hips. He had a long neck, snout, and tail, his nostrils doubled in size and mouth bigger than a manhole. The talons on his feet were longer than twenty centimeters (8 inc) and harder than steel.

## Personality

Gadorf was extremely prideful, viewing himself as a dragon and believing himself to have been born a ruler - stomping on ants was his birthright. He would go to any lengths to achieve his goals, freely practicing Forbidden Magic and using people and organizations until they are of no more use to him.

## Abilities

Gadorf's black core gave him the ability to absorb the life force of living beings, to detect the magical talent of those close to him, enhanced regeneration, and partial resistance to most elements. Gadorf's Origin Flames are on par with the Tier 5 spell Raging Sun.

## Background

Gadorf's father Xedros refused to Awaken Gadorf, leading Gadorf to spend the last two centuries experimenting with Forbidden Magic fruitlessly until he met the Master. He raided small cities, but nearly died multiple times when the Association responded quickly. He met the Master, who took an interest in him due to his stubbornness and mastery of light magic and arrays. The Master defeated Gadorf in less than a minute and convinced him to make a deal. By becoming the Master's test subject, he acquired his black core and the Life Draining array, and allowed the Master to study true magic and experiment with perfecting Abominations.

The Master introduced him to the criminal underworld, and with Gadorf's arrays, he was able to open illegal Warp Gates across hundreds of kilometers, making him the ideal method for transporting people and contraband as well as smuggling away traitors like Headmistress Linnea and Archmage Lukart. Half of his profits from his criminal empire went to fund the Master's research, as the Master kept Gadorf on a tight leash. Leading figures in human society would sometimes use him to get rid of overzealous officers such as Captain Yerna or settle their grudges away from the Crown's eyes, like in Lith's case.

Lith, Red, and the Xenatos Police Force led by Captain Yerna infiltrate Gadorf's warehouse where he keeps drugged prisoners and runs his drug enterprise. They attempt to leave after discovering Gadorf's array, but are teleported into the Life Draining array. Gadorf kills almost all the members of the squad aside from Lith, Yerna, Red, Khran, and two other orange cored members to use them as fuel for the array. After Lith gains the upper hand, Gadorf transforms into his Wyvern form, but Lith is able to overwhelm him with his Gatekeeper sword, cutting through his flesh like butter. By damaging the array, the energies seeping into Gadorf's black core corrode it instead of nurturing it, which would cause the life forces in the array to destroy Gadorf's cyan core. Gadorf's Origin Flames nearly overwhelm Lith, but Red manages to disrupt the array, crippling Gadorf's cores, before escaping with the surviving squad member.

Facing death, Gadorf decides to forcefully become an Abomination by collecting the array's remaining energies into his body. However, Solus, in her gauntlet form, strikes the Wyvern down with Gatekeeper and Lith finishes him off with a darkness spell.
