Cassian Draeven
and his bonded shadow-dragon
DrakmyrβIn the shadow of death, I found my wings.β
Backstory
Cassian Draeven was forged in the fire of battle long before Basgiath.
Once a soldier on the frontlines, he saw comrades fall while he carried the burden of survival.
By the time he entered the Riders Quadrant, he was already scarred, hardened, and far older in spirit than his peers.
During Threshing, many believed he would fail. But when the shadow-dragon Drakmyr descended, swallowing the light itself with wings vast as night,
it was Cassian who stood unflinching. The bond was instant β two broken warriors recognizing one another.
Now, cadets whisper his name with fear and reverence alike. Cassian and Drakmyr do not strike recklessly, but with precision.
They are a storm of silence, dread, and white fire β protectors cloaked in shadow.

Drakmyr
