Appearance
Ignatius is a towering crimson-scaled dragonborn with polished ruby-red scales, swept-back black horns, and a broad, powerful frame. His gold eyes remain calm and attentive until danger threatens the innocent. He wears battered vestments beneath practical travel gear, carries a massive greataxe marked with the emblem of his faith, and keeps his holy symbol chained around his neck.
Mannerisms
Ignatius begins each day by touching his holy symbol to his brow and reciting a short prayer. Before delivering judgment, he asks witnesses to speak without interruption. In conversation, he often lowers his head to meet the eyes of shorter folk, and after battle he carefully cleans his greataxe before tending to the wounded.
Personality
Ignatius is solemn, protective, and unfailingly courteous to the vulnerable. He speaks with the measured patience of a priest, but his temper flares when someone abuses power or harms the defenseless. He enjoys quiet acts of service, honest debate, and stories about people who chose compassion when vengeance would have been easier.
Ideals
Justice. The strong are entrusted with power so they can protect the weak, uphold righteous law, and punish cruelty.
Bonds
The temple that raised Ignatius is his family, and he will risk everything to defend its people, relics, and teachings. He also carries a cracked bronze prayer bell recovered from the ruins of a mission destroyed by marauders.
Flaws
Ignatius is quick to judge those who break laws or mock sacred traditions, even when mercy and flexibility would serve better. Once his rage begins, he can become frighteningly certain that his cause is righteous, and he sometimes mistakes obedience to his conscience for obedience to his deity.
Quirks
Background
Ignatius The Crimson was hatched beneath the red banners of a remote temple dedicated to a stern but compassionate god of justice. His clutch was expected to serve as guardians and ceremonial warriors, but Ignatius distinguished himself less through obedience than through an instinctive need to place himself between danger and the helpless. The temple priests taught him scripture, ritual, and the discipline of service, while the old weapons master taught him how to turn his anger into a shield for others. His draconic breath first erupted during an attack on the temple, when he stood over a group of terrified novices and unleashed a wave of fire against the raiders. As Ignatius grew older, he became a traveling acolyte and protector, carrying his faith beyond the temple walls. He believes divine law is not merely a list of punishments, but a promise that the strong must defend those who cannot defend themselves. His rage is a frightening force, yet he treats it as a sacred burden, unleashing it only when cruelty leaves no other answer. He now journeys from settlement to settlement, seeking lost relics, aiding endangered congregations, and proving that a dragonborn warrior can be both terrifying in battle and gentle in service.
