Character Details

Backstory

Nikandros was born in the city of Mytros, raised on tales of the Dragonlords who once rode great wyrms across the skies of Thylea and saved civilization from the Titans. His family claims descent from one of the original Five — a claim that is politically convenient and impossible to verify. But Nikandros believes it with every fiber of his being, and when the Oracle prophesied that new heroes would rise to face the returning Titans, he presented himself at the Temple of the Five as a chosen champion. His strength is genuine, his courage unquestionable, and his ego enormous. Whether he is truly the demigod he claims to be or merely a talented mortal with delusions of grandeur remains to be seen.

A tall, powerfully built man with the bearing of a statue come to life. He wears gleaming bronze armor engraved with dragon motifs and a crimson cloak clasped with a golden dragon brooch. His shield bears a sunburst design, and his spear is tipped with celestial bronze. He looks exactly like the hero of a myth — and he knows it.
