Overview
Theriot is a genuinely sad example of a dragon. He's incredibly old but has stayed incredibly detached from the world. Staying largely hidden in the Gulf of Mexico he has done little for the past few decades aside from answer the occasional call of the Sea Dragon to destroy an oil derrick or other environmental threat in the Gulf.
The few metahumans that know of Theriot's existence are often curious to why the runty sea dragon has never made his presence a factor in his home region.
The answer is at best, sad, and at worst, a tale of deep emotions carried too far across time and changing circumstances. When he went to sleep, his best friend, lover and spiritual companion was in his soul. He has not been able to find it since the great awakening and the lack of its presence has driven the dragon into a deep depression.
Theriot is now awake, engaged, and watching events in New Orleans for the first time in a very long time.
Note: This is a Dragon in reference to our Contact Rules you automaticly gain one point of Notoriety if you take him as a contact.
GM Notes
- Unlike other more notable members of his species, Theriot has stayed incredibly close to home ground. He has mourned the end of his former life, plans, and former lover and best friends. While he is far from without resources, he has cultivated a network in the city by using various metahuman guises over the years, he does not control the vast resources of most dragons and is currently in the process of building up his hoarde and his people.
- Among the creole communities, swamps, and native communities that retreated to manors, wilderness camps and bayou estates Theriot has an immense presence and those who even know of the Dragon know the Bayou is a dangerous place for unwelcome interlopers.
- Theriot awoke at the same time as numerous other dragons, but has remained relatively inert and desperately looking for something, while simultaneously refusing to leave the Gulf of Mexico region to look for it anywhere else. It has been almost all encompassing.
