Name: Regent
Race: Argent Drake [Draconic Beast]. A species of wyvern adapted to living in ice and snow. They have lost the ability of flight in exchange for adaptations to this environment, and have an elemental affinity for ice. They're solitary hunters, and are becoming increasingly uncommon due to they themselves being hunted for their valuable fur and the fact that they will hunt and kill livestock or humanoids should they run across them. They also possess a certain amount of innate magical power and are capable of learning basic spells. Said to be one with blizzards. While normally solitary, they will form small packs to raise young.
They're immune to ice, and resistant to water. They are susceptible to fire. Cutting weapons tend to underperform compared to blunt and especially piercing weapons, as their scales are easier to crush or fracture than slice. Their breath weapon is a beam of pure cold.
Age: 20 years old
Appearance: A broad, powerful chest connects to similarly strong limbs and a canine head, crowned with two horns that jut straight forward and serve as a rough indicator of age. The body is covered in white fur that terminates just before the shoulders and hips, and runs down the full length of the tail on both the top and bottom. White scales cover the extremities. The body is somewhat tapered, with the chest being significantly broader than the hips. Two ridges of hardened scales start just below the neck and run up and over the chest, along the back and eventually becoming the edge of the tail and flaring out at the ends, providing a strong surface for use in combat or a rudder for swimming. The forelimbs have a similar hardened layer of scales that flares outward, attaching where a wing would have once. They possess powerful, non-retractable claws that serve to grip both prey and ice. The back legs are somewhat leaner in comparison, with one claw opposed to the others much like one would find on a bird of prey or another species of wyvern; these claws are also smaller and duller than the ones on the forelegs. The tail itself is also broad, muscular, and flat, with the aforementioned scales accentuating rather than defining the shape.
The fur on the chest is somewhat thicker and longer, and all of the fur on the underside is rather downy in comparison to the coarser, tougher stuff found on the upper half of the animal. The claws are black and the eyes are, fittingly, an icy blue. There are rows of scales around the fur and running up the forelimbs in three lines each that glow brightly when he exerts significant quantities of magical power. The fur itself also does this to a much lesser extent, and both can be voluntarily activated, usually as a threat display.
From his feet to the top of his torso and neck (the highest point on the body) in a normal standing position, he is about 15 feet tall, and 40 feet long from the tip of his horns to the tip of his tail.
Personality: Still clearly a predator, despite being trained to not do irritating and inconvenient things like eating townsfolk when not ordered. This colors most of his thoughts; smaller beings are regarded as prey foremost, anything of comparable size is a rival. As he obviously can't attack others, he tends to actively intimidate them as much as possible. That's not to say it's impossible to earn his respect, or even affection; he's a sucker for treats, and proving to be a worthy ally (or adversary) is certainly possible. Tends to view those who have moved out of "not food because I'm not supposed to eat the staff" as pups, while those that have shown significant efficacy in combat are pack-mates (and subject to the same standards they would be.) Will fight and risk a great amount of personal harm to protect those in either of these categories, and expect the same. A bit smarter than people tend to think.

Background: One of the last argent drakes born in Castle Dour, before the mother that had birthed them died of illness with the sire following soon after. Both had been captured wild and trained with great difficulty; argent drakes are intelligent and proud creatures, and it took quite a bit to convince them to acquiesce to the commands of their handlers. They were intended as beasts of war, but the sealing of the keep meant they saw little of battle. As a result, they became little more than massively oversized pets for the lord of the castle.
The pup Regent obtained his name for his size relative to his littermates, and later his prideful and sometimes bullheaded nature. (Really, he's average sized, but his litter was not a particularly healthy one.) When he grew large enough, he began training with the soldiers of Castle Dour; this was not only to improve the combat skill of both, but also in the hopes that he would recognize the prowess of the soldiers as he grew older. It was during this time that he was also instructed in the art of broadcasting his thoughts, making two-way communication much easier. The advent of Azegeor has caused this training to be renewed, providing a distraction from a growing wanderlust and frustration with being cooped up in a castle.
