Character Details

Backstory

Pyraxis was raised in a small dragonborn enclave in the Khalkist Mountains, where oral traditions kept alive the memory of Bahamut long after the gods withdrew from Krynn. When the Dragon Armies descended from the north, burning villages and enslaving populations, Pyraxis felt Bahamut's call resonate in his blood like a war drum. He emerged from the mountains clad in armor forged in dragonfire, wielding a warhammer inscribed with prayers to the Platinum Dragon. The return of the Dragon Armies means the return of the gods — and Pyraxis intends to ensure it is Bahamut's light, not Takhisis's shadow, that prevails.

Personality Trait

"I breathe a small puff of flame when I'm angry. It's involuntary and embarrassing."

Ideal

Bond

"Bahamut called me to war. I carry his flame into the heart of darkness."

Flaw

"I see the conflict in absolute terms — good versus evil — and struggle with moral ambiguity."

An imposing gold dragonborn in heavy chain mail bearing Bahamut's star-and-claw emblem on the breastplate. His golden scales gleam even in dim light, and wisps of flame occasionally escape his nostrils when he speaks with passion. A heavy warhammer rests at his side, its head etched with draconic scripture.
