Parent or mate seems pretty likely to me.

Parent seems more likely as in #188 we learned that the other one was a young adult.

Yeah, there's a reference that the cave where they found the star metal was initially made by another (larger) dragon. I'm assuming parent/mate. I may track down the link in a bit.

Makes me guess parent... perhaps the important client flying in mentioned by the oracle here? Who disintegrated my kid seems like a decent question, all things considered

 

[Intrope]

Disintegrate x 4 = V is at least 17th level and he/she can't say it again

Another sign of V's breakdown: why is V wasting Disintegrates on an Imp, anyway?

Better question- how'd the imp survive a disintegrate?

 

[EroGaki]

Didn't the original Black Dragon they fought say that his mother taught him how to speak lizard, because it was important to study other cultures?

That and the fact that the dragon guarding the star metal was a young adult seems to suggest that this dragon is indeed its mother. Poor V.

An imp advanced to 6HD that rolled decently on hp would survive 5d6 damage from a successful Fort save vs disintegrate. But it's still a kind of special imp!

It also (claimed to be) a "pretty good" sorcerer.

Hmm, that would also make it a pretty special imp, since garden variety (SRD) ones don't advance by character class.
