Rasend Dracon

Physical Description
Rasend is a Dragonborn Barbarian with black scaly skin, red eyes and jet black hair. He has the barrel-chested build of a farmer and stands at 6'4". His most defining features are his large, muscular calves. On introduction, he wears no armour but has shorts that cut off just above the calf in order to show them off as much as possible. He also wields a heavy two-handed sword and javelins.

He later purchases a set of scale mail, a longsword and a shield from Preston.

After the events of the battle with Mason Silentdawn, Rasend grows bulkier, and to near 8 foot in height. His black scales are covered with pieces of the Shard of Omalgus, and his eyes burn a bright silver.

Background
Rasend was born in Narron, an island north of Valkir where most other Dragonborn can be found. Due to the myths around Dragons that exist in the world of Varian, Dragonborns are looked down upon by many of the other races.

An event in Rasend's past led to his family being slaughtered and he was exiled to Alabastra, a hell-on-earth island with active volcanoes. Due to this, he grew up alone in harsh climates, and learned to fend for himself. However it also means that he lacks some of the capacity for language and social interaction that the other heroes possess.

At the start of the story, he has left Alabastra following a vision he saw. His first instinct was to travel to the town of Preston, and we first find him on a boat to the mainland.

Rasend's Vision
The vision that Rasend experienced enveloped him in darkness. He saw a Human man with two black, ritualistic tattoos on his face. This was later revealed to be The Necromancer, Mason Silentdawn. Mason was casting incantations on a glowing red crystal. The cystal called out to Rasend, telling him to come and find it. When Rasend next looked at a map, he felt compelled to travel to Preston.
