Rei Tyrson's tale is one of tragedy, redemption, and transformation. Born a green Dragonborn, Rei's life drastically changed when he was adopted and fostered by the Dao, mystical denizens of The Underland City. Under the watchful eye of Ophal, the Dao elder, Rei was molded into a fierce warrior. This Dao upbringing ingrained in him a profound belief in the cycle of death — a conviction that everything born from the earth must one day return to it. Rei's path crossed with The Sunsations, an adventuring party, leading him on a journey into the depths of The Crowned Grove. Here, they awoke Verdan, the ancient green dragon. For Rei, this act was a blasphemy against the natural order. Consumed by his Dao beliefs, he resolved to slay the dragon and restore balance. His initial attempt was thwarted by Shanara the Salamander, a member of the Sunsations, who bested him in a fierce duel. This setback, however, only fueled Rei's determination. Retreating to the Underland City, he assembled a formidable force — three elite Dao warriors and three formidable Steel Sentinel provisioned by Ophal to aid Rei in his quest for vengeance.
Rei and his cohort tracked Verdan to a secluded valley, only to find themselves ensnared in the dragon's trap. The battle that ensued was catastrophic. Verdan's fury melted the Dao warriors and tore apart the Steel Sentinels. But Rei, showcasing his adaptability and quick thinking, polymorphed into a giant ape and hurled an exploding sentinel at the dragon. The resulting explosion, combined with Verdan's acidic breath, created a deadly chain reaction. In the climax of this battle, Rei met his end atop the ruins of a Steel Sentinel. Yet, in a twist of fate, the core item:5313278] of the fallen sentinel impaled him, reviving him with newfound strength. With Verdan blinded and vulnerable, Rei delivered the final blow with his katana, ending the dragon's epoch-long reign. The battle's aftermath left Rei forever changed. Bathed in Verdan's blood, he fused with the dragon's soul, inheriting powers akin to a green dragon and forming a telepathic bond with the slain beast. With this newfound power and purpose, Rei transformed from a wayward warrior into the Earth Realm's guardian. His mission now is to uphold the natural order and protect his homeland from any who would disrupt its delicate balance.
