Claimed to be the oldest of the Gods, The Scaled One has resided in the Forests of Nimph for his whole life. He has no need to wander into politics or power struggles with the other Gods and keeps mostly to himself, tending for his children and the nature around him. It is clear that he is willing to do much to protect those he holds dear and wields amazing power when needed. The most controversial part of his teachings is the act of cannibalism, for he permits it. This is supposedly encouraged to allow the strong to prosper and it can also have different social meanings. One can honor their enemies by eating their flesh well-prepared or one can humiliate them by eating them while they are still alive. The lizardfolk are known to use cannibalism to a great extent within their own societies. However, the most notable characteristic of The Scaled One is his perceptiveness. The lizardfolk believe that he is always watching over them in one form or another, and his piercing gaze follows all that would seek to harm his children.

The only God he holds a true rivalry with is The Venomous One. It is said that they once had a long-lasting romance together that ended in bitterness. The Venomous One took advantage of The Scaled One's children and corrupted them with her venom, creating the serpentfolk. This caused a great war between the two sides that is still ongoing. The serpentfolk are the only living creatures whose flesh is forbidden for eating by The Scaled One. After this heinous betrayal, The Scaled One has made sure to not let his children be corrupted ever again. For this reason, he is especially wary of Vraash and Arisu for they truly have the power of corruption on their side.
