Biography

Leothan is an Irid dragon introduced in Onyx Storm as a member of Andarna’s true den. Alongside two companions, he first confronts Andarna and Violet on a remote isle, testing Violet’s character to determine whether humans had evolved beyond war. Though cautious, he remains after the others leave, showing a more patient and curious nature.

Leothan later appears in Aretia, where he secretly observes Andarna and activates the Aretian wards by breathing onto their wardstone. Revealing that Andarna shares his bloodline, he offers her the chance to leave Violet and return to her den. Torn between her loyalty to Violet and her identity as an Irid dragon, Andarna accepts his guidance to learn more about her kind.

Physical Description

  • An Irid dragon with shimmering, mutable scales that can blend into his surroundings
  • Horns marked with swirling patterns similar to Andarna’s, highlighting their shared bloodline

Powers and Abilities

Like other Irid dragons, Leothan can alter the color of his scales for camouflage and stealth. He can also communicate telepathically with humans outside of a rider bond.

Relationships

Andarna Leothan reveals that Andarna belongs to his bloodline and would have been part of his den had she not bonded Violet. He becomes her guide to understanding her true nature as a member of the Seventh Breed.
