Biography
Cath is a red swordtail dragon bonded to Dain Aetos in Rebecca Yarros’s Empyrean series. He first appears in Fourth Wing and continues throughout Iron Flame and Onyx Storm.
In Iron Flame, Cath is seen perched on the ledge during the first formation of new cadets and later attempts to intervene when Solas tries to burn a cadet.
His bond with Dain provides the power that manifests as Dain’s memory-reading signet. Though not as frequently in the spotlight as dragons like Tairneanach or Sgaeyl, Cath remains central to Dain’s role in the Riders Quadrant and the Revolution.
