Argentithrax

A dragonborn warlock who serves Asgorath the World Shaper. Professor of Draconic Studies at Forestheim University.

Physical Description
Argentithrax is an older dragonborn in his 50s. With parents representing clans from bitter rivals, silver and white, his flesh and scales are somewhat mottled not unlike that of a tortoiseshell cat (with white forming the base).

Backstory
His parents had a Romeo and Juliet-esque relationship which led to their exile from their clans. They lived as outsiders in a cottage outside the town of Foresthiem, the Northernmost of the Gorgon Isles. When he came of age, his parents thought it best he settle into the human world as he was considered an abomination of either clans. Argent, as he has been known, tried his hand at magic at the University of Gorgon, but lacked any interest in wizardry. He moved on to teaching Draconic studies for many years until one day finding a tome detailing the history of Asgorath, the World Shaper. The tome described a cave on the island where there used to be a shrine to Asgorath, and Argent decided to mount an expedition. The expedition did indeed uncover the shrine, but the spirit of Asgorath used a frightful presence type ability to drive off all the other members of the expedition. She then proposed to imbue Argent with tremendous knowledge and power in exchange for his help and service. Asgorath gave him three directives: 1) Prevent Tharizdun's release 2) Prevent collection or use of the 333 gems 3) Oppose and destroy the minions of Tharizdun Argentithrax is required to cast Commune as a ritual specifically for the purpose of communication with Asgorath every Starday at sundown. With Argent getting older and feeling robbed of the time that true dragons have to learn and study, his personal goal is to achieve agelessness. Either through his patron, or through his own efforts. For the last several years Argent has been splitting his time between teaching and his work for his patron using the job at the University as a cover for research and overall safety net. For the moment he is on sabbatical in Shorewall trying to determine why so many gems seem to be concentrating themselves there.
