Thanks Isida, I had the idea of a halfling informant working from the inside (and being so small and insignificant away from the eyes of the masters). Plus the concept of a monk/sorcerer sounds like a deadly combo...all I'd need are some rogue levels then MacGuyver hear I come!

If you go that route, it might be advisable to focus on the power spells and enchantments, to avoid redundancy; my svirfneblin focuses on illusion.

Good call; avoiding SR is a good plan against dragons, though many of us have it too.

I figured the dragon was the father... The other way would just be to complex if you ask me.
As for the dragon type I think on it some more as I’m having trouble finding a way to incorporate my idea in to the game world.

Appearance: Having fought many time in the arena, scars of glory cover his body, but when he come into the arena, none can be seen, because he is wearing the black dragon suit. That suit have been build by a half-dragon to honor his ancestor dragon. Made with the dark and strong adamantium, this suit protect the wearer much more than any normal suit of armor. The plate mail have been made to looks like a black dragon hide. The scales all over the armor are so sharp that they can be use as a weapon as itself. The helmet looks like a dragon heads who is using his breath weapon. The gauntlet, with the same scales, can be use to deal great damage, but they are enchated to give some of the dragon's strenght. A cloak is added to the suit, to represent the wings. Finally, a greataxe complete the suit, but his shape is near the one of a great wyrm finger, with his claw at the end.
Personality: To come
Background: Born in the wilrderness, he was a protector of the tribe. The tribe have been wipe out by the army of a dragon. Some have been capture, and Gortag was among them. He was then trained to the modern style of combat so he can efectively fight in the arena for the pleasure of his new master.

Appearance:
Tall for an elf at 6', he makes for a grim figure. His skin is white as snow, for he hasn't seen the sun in quite a while. When on a "mission" his face is painted in a twisted parody of a jester, with two black diamonds over his eues and a black, sneering grin on his lips. His hair is black, tied in an untidy ponytail. The make-up only enhances his mask-like face, expressionless except for the flickering of his eyes, as he continuesly scans his surroundings. He is dressed in black silks, with soft knee-high boots. From his belt hangs a simple rapier and a dagger. His black breastplate and his long black cape blurr his outline and shade his face. On his back a quiver is strapped. Next to it an ornate composite longbow hangs.
Personality:
His face is schooled to remain blank, showing no sign of sadness or joy, remorse or cruelty. He only lives for revenge, and will sacrifice anything for it. Seldom does he sing, but when he does, the sadness and sorrow silences even the most jaded drow. Many doubt his sanity, but few his dedication.
He can be heard muttering to himself sometimes, telling jokes, a sure sign violence is to follow.
Background:
512 years ago there was great joy and hope in the Elven kingdom of Shen'Tarra, for the queen had given birth to a twin, something only rarely seen in the long history of Elvenkind. The girl, Siannah, eldest by mere minutes, was educated as a priestess of the Elven God of Light, whilst the boy , Raen-Lothar, proved to be a natural singer who had a voice of the purest gold, therefore to be trained as a bard.
Shen'Tarra was the first nation to fall, completely taken by surprise on the night their Gods died. Most of her people were enslaved, amongst them the princeling twins.
The Black dragon Lanferrar, who headed the invasion force, soon learned of their identity. Raen-Lothar was brought before him, and was given the choice : either walk amongst his people, laughing and joking, and pick ten people to be sacrificed, or watch his sister getting tortured and raped.
He broke after six long days. Every month he had to choose. If he didn't laugh or joke, his sister was punished. Should he speak to any of his people about this, the same. Meanwhile, he was treated like a king, given two mute human slaves to pamper his every need. He was dressed in the finest clothes, and given leave to wander about freely.
His people looked at him, and he could hear them whisper : Betrayer, Sadist, Jester of Death.
And evry month he chose. Strangers at first, people he had never met. Simple folk, old people. Then acquintances, friends of the family. Trusted retainers were next, and last, his friends and familie. He was forced to watch them being sacrificed, as always.
Evry night he had to sing his mournfull dirges of the sacrificed to his master, who revelled in the sorrow and distress. If he didn't please, his sister would once again be brought forth from the dungeons, and he'd be forced to watch.
Four hundred years he watched, and waited. His hart grew still, dead in his chest, fueled only by hatred. When his family died he had to choose from the other slaves, or from the children, or the women, joking as he did so, for his masters petty cruelty knew no end.
Then, five years ago, an opportunity rose. The control over his voice, and over the powers in his blood, were finally strong enough. He managed to escape his quarters, and found his sister.
One final time his eyes misted as he watched her beautiful, green, mad eyes grow still.
He left under the cover of night, freeing both slaves and beast from the gladiatorpits, so he could escape amidst the confusion, the slaughter and bloodshed. Together with the prize gladiator of his master he made it to the underdark, and has been striking at the minions of his former master ever since.(the gladiator bit is optional, just a way to already introduce two characters)
His old name is long forgotten, as his master ordered him to reinstate the Elven tradition of being named by your own people. Therefore he is known as Iluvan'an Tesau, or Ishamael.
