Persona Biography

Born and raised within Bahamut's Palace, Vinderex came from a noble family of dragons 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 wreaking 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.

Though powerful in his true form, he is still unaccustomed to his human body, and is not well versed in the arts of combat. Survival sometimes demands that he shows his more dragon-like abilities, but he does his best to keep his true nature hidden and explain his occasional outbursts. One way he does so is by always wearing an armor made in his own image and which he claims to be enchanted. The armor's enchantment supposedly grants him the strength of the dragon it portrays, but the power is actually all his own.
