True Name: Infernis
Alias: Infernis the Red
Race: Dracolich (was Dragon)
Species: None (was Fire)
Age: Unknown (Infernis is over three thousand years old)
Personality: Infernis the Red is a cold, calculating individual. He has patience spawned from his immortality, and is willing to wait a few thousand years for a plan to come into effect.
History: Not much is known about Infernis the Red, except that he was one of the original dragons ever to inhabit "Io's Blood Chain". His ambitions were to dominate dragonkind as a whole, but he was slain by the Gold Dragon named Exaurdon. Instead of merely dying, however, his magical powers and pure hatred snatched him from death's grasp. About a hundred years after his death, Infernis reformed, using the bones of his past life as a sort of vessel, a phylactery. Although he had immense powers, even more then he had in life, he was not yet strong enough to make an appearance as his powers were forming over time. So, Infernis looked for a puppet from which to use his influence to gain power over time. He found this puppet in the form of Deathstream the Black, the clanlord of Clan Blackmoon. Deathstream's clan was for the most part a small band of bandits. Infernis came to Deathstream when the great Wyrm was alone and promised to aid the clan, ensure that they would become the rulers of the island chain, and whispered other promises into the dragon's ear. Deathstream was so exited about the promises that he did not really ask Infernis what he wanted in return. Infernis, for the next few thousand years, acted in secrecy through his puppets, gaining influence in the lands of both the Fire and Ice Giants, and a good amount of all the clans. Nobody except Deathstream knew that the Dracolich even existed.
However, there is always a band of heroes (a term I use lightly) who come along and mess up the evil overlord's plans. So was the case with Karnagathis the Red, along with a few other fellows, who eventually discovered Infernis and tried to put an end to his evil. Infernis, knowing that he was not yet fully formed, cast an illusion to do battle with his enemies while he cast a spell to flee to some random location. By now, he is mostly formed, but still not yet ready to make any drastic moves.
Kin: None; Infernis is much older then any mortal dragon would ever hope to be, thus his kin are all dead, not that he cares.
Powers: Infernis wields supreme magics, as he has had literally thousands of years to perfect his Art.
Other: A few things I should note about Infernis the Red. First off, he is originally the main villain of the D&D setting "Council of Wyrms", and thus was never actually fleshed out - something I plan to do in character. Also, do not worry, I won't make him disgustingly powerful, but he is a bad arse, no bones about it. (ain't pun fun?)
Thanks to darkdragon for the pic!
