"Like everyone else, the time eventually came that I had to go out and make my own life. Not much else to tell after that."

Persona Biography

Vinderex is a gold dragon, born and raised within Bahamut's Palace, coming from a very noble family that directly served Bahamut. He was still very young when a crazed man named Thaddeus Zephrine Geitz began a mad crusade to exterminate all dragonkind after his family's band of mercenaries had been wiped out by a black dragon. Geitz didn't discriminate between good and evil, all dragons were his enemy, and eventually he even found his way into Bahamut's Palace and attempted to slay Bahamut himself. Geitz ultimately was defeated by Bahamut, but not before reeking havoc, and slaying many good dragons, including Vinderex's father. Ever since that day, Vinderex never felt comfortable in the palace again; everywhere he looked sparked visions of the terrible day of Geitz's rampage. Unable to bear it anymore, he ventured out into the world on his own. But having spent all of his former life within the safety of Bahamut's Palace, Vinderex had never seen much of humans. Geitz had been his first memorable encounter with a human, and so in the years immediately after leaving the palace, he became the very worst kind of dragon, one who saw humans as a threat, and who spent his days mercilessly hunting down, exterminating, and enslaving any humans he encountered. Over time however, the slaves he kept got to know him, and began to see that such destructiveness wasn't his true nature. One woman in particular by the name of Aelia grew especially close to Vinderex, heard the full story of his past, and the origin of his hatred for mankind. As time passed, she slowly convinced him of the error of his ways. Decades went by, and Vinderex remained young as Aelia eventually grew old and fragile. Her dieing wish was for Vinderex to give mankind another chance. And so, Vinderex took on a human form, and went out to wander the land, mingling among and studying mankind as he traveled. He does his best to keep his true identity a secret, fearing that stories of his darker days might still haunt the lands. When asked about his past, he will usually give a deceptive story, implying that he was simply raised by a dragon, and leaving out his place of origin, and the details of why he left home. He always carries a mask with him, and only allows his more dragon-like qualities to show when he wears this mask. He claims that the mask holds power, implying that his dragon spirit resides within it, but in fact it is just an ordinary mask, and the "power" he speaks of is actually nothing more than helping to keep the truth hidden.
