Shkiv is an ancient Brass Dragon. Unlike others of his kind, Shkiv embraces solitude and does not collect rare items. He was taken as a young Wrymling by the Lord of Chaos Ygorl who raised him in Limbo. Living in Limbo prolonged Shkiv's life much longer then normal dragons so his age is unknown to even him. Shkiv then served as Ygorls mount for millennia and even through The Great Rising that made Ygorl the undisputed ruler of Limbo.
At some point, Ygorl disappeared from Limbo. Even now, his where-abouts are unknown. Shkiv waited for his return but it never came. Feeling betrayed for his extensive and degrading service to his Lord, he partnered with another of Ygorl's servants whom he despised, a Slaadi priest named Skirnix, to escape from Limbo and re-enter the Material Plane where he met a large grouping of Kobolds. The Kobolds, now treating Shkiv like a god, fueled his now justified vendetta against Ygorl. Shkiv discovered the legend of the Pandorica and found out how to merge himself with Despair in order to become more powerful the The Lord of Chaos himself, he would take the mantle of both God of Chaos and God of Death, making him the most feared deity to ever exist. Rumors state that he has already obtained half of the Potara, and has located the Pandora's Box.
