[QUOTE="The_Universe, post: 2088939, member: 8944"] Mordred is subtle. He favors plans that advantage of his own immortality (or near immortality) often waiting centuries for a carefully laid plot to come to fruition. However, once the hammer drops, it drops quickly - he went from a mysterious mercenary leader to the Dragon Emperor (after nearly 3000 years of waiting) in under a year, before. Only his death allowed the Falcon Kingdom to come to be. He is violent, cruel, but crafty - his vengeance is not always swift, but it is frequently terrible. He uses others as pawns, feeding upon their desires and wishes to get them to do what he wishes them to do. Mordred favors working with those whose lust for power mirrors his own, but he is not above using other methods of persuasion. Mordred rarely acts himself, preferring to use powerful underlings as his eyes, ears, and hands. He came to power through very few of his own actions - instead, he encouraged others to pave his way through seeking their own interests, and then stepped on or over them to grab power for himself. Many who serve him will know that they are serving him - others might labor their whole lives without realizing that they were carrying out the will of such a foul creature. The Bluestar spent very little time in the presence of Mordred, himself. When disguised as a human, he was very cold - almost reptilian. If he felt any emotion at all, it was a deep seated desire. The desire made him ruthless, and cunning. To bring the Great Ring under his rightful rule, to bring the people of the Dragon Empires that falsely venerated his father's other descendents to the worship of his mother - Tiamat, Lady of Shadow. He also wanted to ascend to deityhood (or whatever state Tiamat held) himself, and was not above attempting to destroy his mother to achieve that level of power. Obviously, he failed in that endeavor. He was attacked during his ascenscion to the same state that his mother held. He had gathered those loyal to him at his keep on what is now called the Isle of Mourning. The fledgling Falcon Kingdom got word of the gathering, marshalled their forces, and attacked the island while all of Mordred's power was gathered in a single place. While the Armies of the Falcon clashed against Mordred's twisted and evil servants, the Heroes of the Last Age sought him out, and found him deep beneath the catacombs of the ancient castle. There, he revealed his true form (a dragon the color of a starless midnight) and defended himself with talon, tooth, and no small amount of magic. Though he sought to drain his mother's power to gain his own, he sought her help, and it was only the intervention and sacrifice of Oberon that prevented her from entering the fray, as well. Mordred sought to escape once the power and bravery of the Chosen Warriors of the Light became fully known to him, but the Bluestar was able to create a wall of Force that kept him trapped in the caverns beneath the catacombs. Even as Mordred's great fleets were attacked by the skyship [i]Harrier [/i]outside his hidden Aerie, the Heroes weakened, and eventually struck the Dragonlord dead - battered and wounded, it was the Woodshadow who struck the revealed Mordred's head from his sinnuous body.
