Conrad Waters

Dragon Advisor, Hand of the King, The Wise

"Blood needs to be paid for with blood"


Unknown Past

There are few who know who or what Conrad was before he entered the Sigwald IV Agolith's service. The halls of Aerowyn (Castle) are willed with many rumours. He has been thought of as a foreigner to Tearithia, exempt war criminal and even a long lost cousin. None can fathom the possibility that a Bastard, born with nothing to his name, can rise to such a high and prestigious position as that which he finds himself in. Nobles laugh at the idea, naming it silly and senseless if true. Conrad laughs with them, or perhaps at them, for he remembers every single name of every single noble who ever laughed at him knowing he will get back at them one day.

Oldest and Wisest

Though his family, or lack thereof, brings him no inherited reputation or renown, he makes up for it with his experience and wisdom. There are few who have won the king's trust, but Conrad has managed to become not only a trusted advisor but also a close friend. Franko and Conrad can often be seen together discussing a wide range of subjects in addition to the standard duty-bound talks that are required. His cunning is unparalleled and is as admired as it is feared.

Dragon Advisor

In the Dhûr-Lhûg he fulfills the role of Dragon Advisor, meaning he not only serves Franko but also his heir, Arnold. He rides a dark blue dragon with a serpentine neck. Whiskers and a beard adorn a narrow and wrinkled face with a lion-like mane behind its head. The dragon is unique to compared to the others of the order and its speculated that its not from Tearithia.
