Author's Notes

Snowtalon started first appearing on Champions in November 2011, as a power armored snow dragon with rather incidental origins. In many ways or others, he has grown and developed into a completely new character while still maintaining his core concept. As of now, he's a multidimensional snow dragon who was convicted, thrown into a multidimensional portal to certain death and ended up on Earth. He now works with UNTIL around the globe as a lethal, scaly weapons platform capable of dumping a third world country's worth of firepower into a single location.

However, Snow is not without his faults. He is a genuinely very 'human' character with identifiable weaknesses that can potentially hinder a mission or even cost him his life. However-however, this does not mean Snow is weak in any fashion. With his plethora of weaponry and his own abilities he had attained over the years, he is a battlefield terror.

Description

The man, the legend, the dragon. Skarius Snowtalon is one of the most iconic of his species, hailed as a hero by the Tralonian Empire formed by the Tralonian dragons. When he was double-crossed in a lifechanging moment and sent catapulting into our own dimension, he emerged with his integrity intact. Touched by the crucible of war and with a tempered mind, in two different universes where danger lurks at every corner, Colonel Snowtalon remains stalwart and relentlessly continues to push forward against the tide of malice, showing genuine care for the people he interacts with and leaving life all the brighter with every good deed, and an inspiration to many. Read on, and learn more of this great character - one who has not only been awarded with greatness, but scarred with personal tragedy and a tendency to be hard on himself.

Physical Appearance

The dragon is at peak of physical health for his species. Standing at a staggering 8 foot and boasting a muscular frame and build, Skarius' menacing structure is the result of intense physical training he endured in both his training and during his youth. His natural features also come into play, having draconic features such as horns that jut from his shoulders, the tip of his tail and outwardly from the very top of his head. The frills on the sides of his head are extremely flexible and can be folded for fitting into headgear, but they also serve as his ears. His military background is further supported by the massive lip scar streaking across his face. If one were to see his exposed chest, they would also notice a row of claw scars across his chest and what looks like a burn scar in the shape of a rune on his left pectoral. An interesting note is that unlike most dragons he lacks wings, causing many people to often mistake him for a lizard. However, the true reason for this is because his species has crossbred with so many humanoid lifeforms that they themselves have taken a more humanoid form: standing on two legs, external sexual organs and most obviously, the lack of wings. However, they still keep their other draconic traits, such as the horns, the head shape, tails, retractable claws/talons and of course the hearing frills. An interesting characteristic of his species is that their muscle tissue possesses a very high magnitude of density, Snow himself weighing near a metric ton. As a result, they are physically more able than humans - a pre-teen Tralonian can lift a ton with little assistance.

History

Early Life

Kizameth, the floating capital city of the planet of Tralonia.

Snowtalon was born in Northwestern Tralonia, October 26th, 813 BC, on the floating city of Kizameth when it made its way to the snowy regions. Snowtalon was a gifted boy from a young age, but often ostracized by others due to his inherent introvertedness and love for literature and lack of social ability. But how did he end up in the military? The reason for turning himself into a soldier was due to his parents' untimely demise at the hands of an assassin named Lord Tharne Darkveil, a powerful 'shadow dragon' with the ability to command the unstable power of the Qliphothic realm. He wished to serve and fight for his region, so no such murders would dare to happen in his home city. Tharne's bloodline had a long feud with Skarius', the two families had been at each others throats for longer than they could remember. At some point in time, Skarius Snowtalon became a fabled Tralonian Battlemaster - masters of all kinds of weaponry, inherited technological giftness and each with a genius IQ - Snow possessed one that reached 170.

The two conspired together to frame Snow for a severe crime - the crime of treason. They had a highly convincing double placed for this, who mistreated prisoners, brutally punished his own men and became detached and aggressive. His superiors grew suspicious after seeing the fake evidence and they had been taken in. Snow was arrested and brought to the Internment Center, and to a dimensional gate known as The Redeemer. However, his plea proved to be ineffectual, and he was condemned. While Azala observed from afar, Skarius was given only his armor, his multipurpose utility belt, and literally thrown in an extra-dimensional portal. This being a traditional form of punishment for severe crimes by his species, he was expected to survive for as long as he could in other dimension. There was no chance of knowing what one it was, certain it would led him to his inevitable death, and thus, he was placed inside, to be exiled to a world afar, to his death. Perhaps not.


Alone in Another World

Snowtalon, roaring at off-screen VIPER soldiers.

Fate decreed Snow's death would not come early. The Earth year was 1983, and a terrible winter storm had rolled in over the English countryside. By himself in on alien planet, Snowtalon did not panic. At one time, he was relieved as he had been condemned on his homeworld, now an outlaw. However, at the same time he was at loss as to where he was, and what to do. He traveled the countryside for signs of life, discovering the main inhabitants of the planet were humans. He had interacted with their kind from other dimensions before, and even in his home dimension. However, while the dragon was laying low from the inhabitants, he accidentally ran into a entourage of several soldiers belonging to the terrorist group called VIPER. He attempted to subdue them using his cryokinesis, as winter-based dragons had the ability to control cold weather and freeze water molecules in the air to create ice. Although he still had his durable armor with him, he was unprepared for the Draysha enforcer advancing on him, who shattered his left bracer with a few punches and soon knocked him out. They took interest in him because of his reptilian nature, and knowing VIPER's obsession with making reptile-themed super-soldiers, they took him to the Nest that had been hidden within a nearby mountain.

The VIPER scientists planned on splicing his corpse and experimenting with it, and confiscated Skarius' belt. However, little to their knowledge is that in confiscating it, the belt's remote distress signal device was activated, attracting the attention of UNTIL radar operators, their organization having a base in London. They dispatched the British super-team known as the New Knights of the Round Table, along with a small squadron of UNTIL strike soldiers. They discovered the distress signal was coming from a VIPER nest, and thus both the Knights and the soldiers tore their way through the base, snakes falling left and right. They discovered the distress signal belonged to Skarius' belt, and found him locked in shackles behind an energy cell, his armor nearby. Noticing his obviously injured state, the super-team took pity on the dragon. He was released and given both the armor and his belt back, and as a result his translation program allowed him to speak English to the soldiers. The Knights had him escorted back to the UNTIL headquarters in London, before promptly leaving. The dragon explained his situation to his rescuers, and asked why he had been captured by these humans. The agents noticed his lip scar, the armor and the belt, asking him if he were a soldier. The dragon replied he was once a military commander before coming to Earth at least a month ago by then, and that he was not from this dimension. However, given previous experience and that technologically advanced piece of equipment on his person, UNTIL Director Gideon H. Jones gave him a proposition - working with UNTIL as a supersoldier. Snow agreed, was given the codename BRUTUS, and his tale on Earth began.

The Battle of Detroit

Snowtalon's original urban outfit, worn in the Battle of Detroit.

In the next nine years, the painful year of 1992 had started. In secret, Snow was sent to Detroit to monitor super-crime activity. The dragon had been staying undercover for the last few years, so his appearance would not attract any attention - Millennium City did not lose Detroit's abundance of super-powered and diverse range of heroes. Thanks to his teaching of culture and learning from his UNTIL mentors, he could now speak English without having to use his translator. He had also developed his signature British accent.

On the 22nd of July, UNTIL's suspicions proved all too right, much to their dismay. Dr. Destroyer came close to destroying Detroit using his Meteor Magnet doomsday device, but the metahuman Vanguard sacrificed himself to stop the asteroids heading for Earth. Even then, this wasn't enough to stop the mad scientist's diabolical scheme. Destroids rising up to the thousands, hired villains and mercenaries running amok, even the green-skin four-armed brute known as Grond and the metallic, robotic dinosaur referred to as Mega-Terak began demolishing and rampaging around the city. PRIMUS forces were called, as were what was left of the law enforcement. Even the eight-foot-armed-to-the-teeth dragon smacked his jaw at the enormous invasion force, knowing that a huge battle would commence. Battling his way through many Destroids and trashing up several hired mercenaries in the process, he managed to save several civilians trapped underneath rubble while at it.

Snowtalon took to the skies with his combat gear equipped and his weapons at the ready, to strike at his big target - Mega-Terak, already under attack by several other heroes. The dragon swerved around the robotic skeletal dinosaur, pelting at it with ice shards, bullets and whatever else he could throw at it. The monster ravaged the streets, killing civilians and causing hundred thousands in property damage. It's static field, steel teeth and lightning breath proved a match for the powerful draconic hero, resulting in a tense, exhausting fight that lasted until early morning on the 23rd of July. The armored dragon had been fighting for all night, nearly out of endurance as it seemed Terak would win. However, the dragon had a sudden burst of energy, and defeating the robotic dinosaur by tearing out it's Bioinformatic Engine - ruining Terak's senses and causing it to flee.

Even though he won the battle he gazed off into the horizon. Soon, he could not believe his eyes as to what he saw next - Destroyer's Orbital Cannon had been activated, meaning Zerstoiten's underground base and presumably himself would have been obliterated, along with the Sentinels super-team. Knowing he would have very little time, Snow took what little chance he had and flew out of Detroit as fast as he could, feeling the heat of the incredibly powerful bombardment cannon on his toes. Once he had cleared himself from the blast zone, he fell down to his knees, looking at the ruined city. Distraught at the events and his failure, he was wracked with guilt, bringing back the stinging memory of his betrayal by his people as he returned to the UNTIL HQ in England to bring the terrible news. Despite all his efforts, he felt that he would be berated for being unable to save tens of thousands of lives. Expecting resentment, he was instead commended for his efforts in subduing many of the Destroids and Mega-Terak, to his surprise. Even though he failed, they had him on assignments around the world afterwards, despite such a tragedy.

Current Life

If anything, Snow is no relic from a past age. By 2011, Snow had become a global Agent, sent by UNTIL solo or occasionally with a team to various hotspots around the world. He has gotten to know many other colorful heroes in this time, as well as met a few enemies. No matter, the dragon was a rising star in the hero community for his efforts. His assistance in the cleanup of Westside, his involvement with Operation: Demonflame and his recent endeavors regarding the Destroid invasion, are examples of this. The project he is found working most with is Project Hermes, UNTIL's mystical force, as there has been a strange increase in magic-origin villains in the past years.

Socially, Snow's known for having a heart of gold underneath his scaled, grizzled exterior. He's smart, considerate and generally fun to have around. Even if his activities as a soldier leave him somewhat preoccupied, crime activity from the 90's/80's has died down, so he gets more and more free time and the occasional slab of paperwork thrown his way. He can oft be spotted working out at Carl's Gym, building things in the MCPD Armory or simply taking a break at Club Caprice or Shererra's Bar. Another trait of him is his charisma. As mentioned above he's met several heroes personally, many of them having worldwide or in drastic cases, galactic fame. In the past year, it seems that the crime waves have just died down.

However, as of late, there have been some new stirrings in Millennium City...

Home Renovating and the Annihilator Attack

Snowtalon and Armory engage in the fight against the O.S.F. Annihilator.

In late November and early December, 2012, Snow's recent trips to Caprice have proved to be quite interesting. While at the bar, he discovered that two Omega Strike Force soldiers had managed to infiltrate the club, looking for the Ben'haian Shir'ith, also known as Slicer. Though he managed to chase the two out of the club with the assistance of a wolven Cognatus member Tiria, the two grunts had been calling for "Annihilator support", referring to the large automated weapons platforms the OSF deploy on high-priority targets.

Once this incident died down, Snow got to work on building the elaborate underground base near his Penthouse. The ruins of Detroit proved to be an ideal breeding ground for building the base. Because of his involvement in the Battle of Detroit, he managed to fan out the entire base over a large area of the undercity. Humorously enough, he made an overpass over his friend Armory's own underground base, who had the same idea. He started storing his munitions here and set up a workshop in his armory. Once he was done with setting up the base, he installed the elevator system leading up to his penthouse in Downtown Millenium City, along with two hatch bays, one for his tank, the other for another, unknown vehicle. Interestingly, there was a large set of blueprints sprayed across one of his armory tables, hinting at another project he may have been working on.

On December the 8th, Snow had arrived at Caprice yet again to find Slicer at the bar. Recently, she had subdued an OSF General who's corpse was delivered to the morgue at the UNTIL HQ. While chatting, the female Ben'haian noted that an OSF ship may be arriving at Earth, which she knew through her contacts. After she left to go to her garage, the previously mentioned Armory arrived at Caprice, panting. He had discovered disturbing energy signals above the City Center. The dragon made his way there while Armory brought a rough prototype of his 'Demolisher' mecha to the signal, and to their dismay, an OSF Annihilator literally dropped out of the sky. A massive battle near City Center park ensued between the Annihilator, Armory and Snowtalon, culminating when the OSF killer robot reduced Headshot's prototype to a few scraps of metal on rocket legs. His prototype cannon blasted the robot apart, winning the battle.

In the mean time, Armory had repaired his mecha and updated it for when the OSF were to retaliate. Meanwhile, the blueprints from before were revealed to have been a secret project of Snow's to develop Centurion Strider, his own mech suit capable of tackling even the biggest threats. It most recently saw action against two different OSF ships.

Return to Sender (WIP)

Recently, Snowtalon encountered another Tralonian snow dragon who managed to evade Earth's dimensional barriers and enter the dimension. She went by the name Drozala Frostfist, who not only contacted Snow within her first week of being on Earth, but brought some very grave news - his home planet of Tralonia, the heart of the Tralonian Empire, had come under siege. A recent Qliphothic invasion occurred, and the planet's forces could not prevent the previous Emperor and Empress' demise. As a result, none other than the murderer of Snow's parents, a man Tralonia's history quickly forgot about, Tharne Darkveil assumed the role of the planet's ruler, with the assistance of his female compatriot - Azala Emberstone. Drozala's mention of the two almost sent Snowtalon into a barely contained rage. When Tharne took the throne, enormous black magic clouds obscured the atmosphere and plunged Tralonia into darkness. Now everyone lives under Tharne's brutal regime, but resistance forces fight indoctrinated Tharne loyalists across the the globe.

As a result, Skarius plans to amass an attack force and return to the planet of his birth. This movement has caused him to join an organization known as Tyrian Materials Complex, of which he as been assigned to as an assistant director - the group was made by a group of subsidiaries from another, the Metahuman Agent Contract Enterprise. With MACE's inactivity, the TMC was formed, and Snow was invited to join. Just a day after the mobilization for Tralonia was ordered, Snowtalon was attacked by Slayvel, the DEMON assassin, and Erilion the Immaculate, who was an incubus bound to DEMON's employ. The attack occurred inside Snowtalon's penthouse - Snow lost the resulting scuffle and lost an artifact he was keeping in stasis - this artifact was some sort of crown-shaped object with a relation to Qliphoth, as the energy inside resembled a Qliphothic energy signature. The two assailants managed to escape through a portal before Snow could stop them.

Achievements

The updated version of Snow's original urban armour.

Recent

  • Became an UNTIL Field Director, becoming the head of a new fighting force. Snowtalon now leads and personally directs his own missions rather than being sent on ones of another's choice - for this explicit purpose, he has been offer his personal garrison, courtesy of the best in UNTIL - Praetor Garrison.

Past

  • Promoted to the rank of Colonel - one of the few UNTIL agents to achieve such a rank.
  • Attended the first SUMMIT of 2013.
  • Engaged in a battle in Millenium City Downtown with the Eternal Demise cultist Zeph, and subdued him.
  • Defended the UNTIL Sky Command Carrier from destruction with an entourage of heroes from the Destroid invasion. Successfully destroyed the Mega-Destroid on the deck of the carrier.
  • Memory cores proved correct. Snowtalon, along with almost every other hero present in Millenium City at the time, destroyed six Mega-Destroids who attacked the Champions HQ. Even the Champions themselves came to aid, along with Nighthawk.
  • Successfully defeated a scouting force of Destroids with heroes Sergeant Kodiak, Veronica "Vivi" Arky, Wildeye and Nightstrike. Recovered memory cores for coordinates of a possible future attack.
  • Prevented a large force of ARGENT workers from recovering Questionite deposits.
  • Lead a team of heroes consisting of Bronx, Sparx and Mindscape to foil a Roin'Esh plot to steal an artifact from Force Station Steelhead. Communications were also restored.
  • Disrupted the timeline during the Vibora Bay apocalypse. As a result, an alternate timeline, separate from ours, was created where Therakiel succeeded in bringing about the end of the world.
  • Ventured to the world of Multifaria with the help of Cnidarico and Riou Hotaru. Defeated Shadow Destroyer. Unfortunately, the true Doctor Destroyer was freed, and soon escaped. The Resistance overthrowed Shadow D's remaining New Harmon police forces.
  • Escaped from the collapsing Shining Darkness and the demise of the Kings of Edom during the Aftershock incident, with a large number of UNTIL soldiers, Major Fulani Okonkwo, and four other heroes.
  • Defeated Teleiosaurus, Teleios and a small army of VIPER soldiers, (including the ranks of Redstone, VIPER-X and Ripper)on Monster Island. Also defeated White Rhino and Phillipe Moreau in a raid on Moreau's lab, with the help of heroes Riou Hotaru, Armory, Heat Screech, and Anarchy. Later, hunted down Teleiosaurus permanently.
  • Defeated Luther Black in Operation: Demonflame. His ascension was thus prevented, and DEMON subsequently fell apart. Some members banded together, others retreated to Qliphothic Caves.
  • Uncovered VIPER's plans to use the Serpent Lantern for their own means - banished Viperia and stopped the terrorists from succeeding.

Trophy Cabinet

The items in a cabinet present in his penthouse are:

  • Ripped and torn Roin'Esh cape spad with spaulder. After Whiteout, almost nothing catches our draconic hero off-guard.
  • A scythe blade used by a Qliphothic horror. He pulled it off the arm of one of the horrors during the Demonflame op.
  • Baron Cimitiere's hat. He has good style, but the accent is appalling.
  • Destroid leg. A painful reminder from Detroit.
  • The OSF Annihilator's head. There are wires leading into it's head and it's connected to his generator. It can still talk.
  • A New Harmon Police helmet. Scratched and burnt, this trophy was taken after defeating Shadow Destroyer.
  • Discarded VIPER Emblem. Snatched one of these after the Serpent Lantern.
  • The Teleiosaurus' skull. Alas, poor Yorick...
  • A DEMON wand. Collected from the "Aftershock" incident after the caves.
  • Snow's robotic arm he had before having his organic one regrown. With science.

Abilities

Skarius with his dual revolvers.
  • Technological Prodigy: Skarius is highly adept with several forms of technology. This technological prowess has remained in his family's bloodlines for millenia, and thus, Snow's prowess in creating or repairing tech is legendary.
  • Exceptional Combatant: His combat ability is staggering. The training he has endured has honed his marksmanship to impeccable levels, both with external weaponry and his cryokinesis. Coupled with hand-to-hand combat training, he wields not just the very temperature and guns from a pocket dimension, but his own fists, as lethal weaponry.
  • Augmented Strength: Snowtalon received powerful cybernetic augmentations when he became a Battlemaster. While the average Tralonian can lift upwards of five metric tons, with the highest non-military Tralonian being able to lift eleven, Snow's augmentations let him heft a whopping sixteen metric tons. It is said by many that Snowtalon is quite over-compensatory for being a master of all types of weapons while having such ability, but his ways are merciful. He prefers the enemy to either have a quick death or be rendered unconscious, living by a code that will never leave a person who is experiencing their demise in severe pain. His weight is exactly a metric ton in armor, but said augmentations can compress the weight as not to crush everything he sits on.
  • Inhuman Durability: Although it's certainly not fireproof, Snow's tough hide is capable of repelling smalls arms fire. Against larger calibers they'll have some trouble trying to get through the scales - against smaller ones, and they will literally flatten against his flesh. He wears his suit for more practical reasons - that, and he gets sent on all the dangerous missions, where an enemy will have certainly more high-grade weapons.
  • Cryokinesis: This powers come naturally the snow dragon - being capable of freezing water atoms present in oxygen and warping its temperature to below zero, freezing it completely and allowing him to shape it. Sub-zero spears, fists coated in ice shards, or cold cages. Snow comes across as incredibly invested into these powers, showing heavy skill and practice. The way Snow uses his powers is through manipulation of forces rather than producing the ice from his body.
  • Innate Aura: His time against magical enemies has caused him to form a powerful aura. This aura supplies him with decent magical resistance and the capability to read both auras and energy signatures. A sign of him doing this is when his eyes start glowing.
  • Snowball Rolling: One of Snow's more absurd methods of travel is composing himself inside a giant sphere made of snow, using his cryokinetic abilities to help roll it like a wheel at surprisingly fast speeds.
  • Money is Best Superpower: Snowtalon possesses a total sum of more than $10 billion dollars. Money is often quoted as the best superpower. Snow proves that in just about every fashion, from his armour to his weapons to his share of the power armour market, it's quite clear that it's gotten him far.
  • Genius IQ: Snowtalon was an academic geek from a young age, possessing an IQ of 170. As a result, he is extremely articulate, thoughtful, philosophical and creative. He is quoted as saying that his IQ is a bigger strength than his physical size, muscle, weapons and his armour.

Equipment

The AVALANCHE Tank.
  • TYRANT/SLAYER Powered Battlesuit: Snowtalon's highly sophisticated battlesuit, referred in official UNTIL records as the "T/S" battlesuit, short for Tyrant-Slayer, is a powerful war machine of masterly-crafted engineering. The helmet incorporates an armor-addup ability which is often used when needed for extra protection on the head. The heads-up-display details Snow's life systems, shield strength and armory integrity in addition to a priority targeting computer, which highlights targets of high importance. The utility pack on the back allows Snowtalon to hack into enemy installations, jam signals or upload viruses into enemy databases. The pack also carries his missile array containing six missiles arranged in two rows. The pack, as well as the feet, have jet thrusters installed to allow Snowtalon flight, exceedingly powerful in order to let the metric-ton dragon to fly. The actual protection the suit provides is a Kendrium-Titanium alloy, providing decent protection and allowing Snowtalon to zip about in what looks like superheavy armor.
  • Urban Combat BDU: Snow's lightest armor, this is more an outfit for fighting low-level street thugs and anything within an mostly urban environment. The plating underneath offers kendrium lacing to prevent most kinds of trauma and protect him against anything that could potentially damage him. It is a colored in a distinct blue-and-grey pattern, similar to that of other UNTIL agents, but with the colors inverted.
  • Voidite energy batches: The enigmatic power source that runs most of Snow's technology is known as Voidite energy, originating from the Tralonian-discovered bizarre dimension known to them as The Void. It is a highly transformative element that takes multiple forms, whether it be solid, liquid, or anything beyond and in-between. While Snow has yet to produce more of the energy, he keeps his reserves in batches that are present in his hideout. Voidite-powered technology is highly stable, but the two most interesting things are this: the energy self-replicates, meaning that the tech stays powered on infinitely, and the remarkable processing power it can dish out: Snow remarked that a computer running on Voidite energy has more processing power than the entire United States military infrastructure. As a result, he keeps it a well-guarded secret from many.
  • AVALANCHE Hovertank: This enormous hovering tank-like gunship was built by UNTIL as a part of project to deliver vehicles to a handful of heroes in Millenium City. Snow was chosen as a particular candidate, and his tank made it's debut when defending the carrier from destruction. It's Questionite Plating protects the tank from most conventional forms of harm, the teflon coating giving it the ability to reflect projectiles, and the tank is outfitted with anti-aircraft missiles, reconstructive nanites, a heavy cannon and an autocannon loaded with piercing rounds. The storage bay can also hold several people at once.
  • Centurion Strider Mech: The massive mecha that Snow had been working on since the last few months as a secret project has finally surfaced, armed with a wrist-mounted assault cannon firing torrents of hot, explosive lead, and a liquid nitrogen cannon spraying sub-zero jets of ice. It's plated from head to toe in a Kendrium-Questionite alloy, and covered in a massive, hexagonal, shield array. Lastly, the rocket pack releases avalanches of missile salvos towards his enemies, and comes with powerful jet thrusters at the base of the feet, like his standard suit, lifting the mech into the sky with hot, blue jets of flame.
  • Custom-Made Firearms: Among his preferred weapons are of his own make - an autocannon firing 600 rounds per minute (this led to its nickname The Dakkanator), a large semi-automatic shotgun and a pair of well-maintained and highly precise revolvers. He also possesses an assault rifle, a marksman rifle, an anti-materiel rifle and a so-called plasma cannon, firing superheated bolts of energy towards an enemy. Gun sounds: Autocannon firing, Shotgun blast and pump, and Dual Revolver fire.
  • Best of the Armory: A long-barreled, six-shot, elegant weapon, this revolver was given to him by Armory as a Christmas gift. It has a black marble handle, a pearl-white body and has an engraving in the shape of a dragon's body, with the end of the barrel coming out in the shape of the dragon's head. It's eyes glow similarly to his pendant, and the sights glow as well. "Skarius L. Snowtalon" can be seen encrypted on the side. This revolver is the only pistol in Snow's arsenal that is capable of firing more volatile rounds, such as thermobarics, and as such he uses it for a finishing weapon.
  • Icebreaker: An age-old relic recently awakened from Snowtalon's collection, the Icebreaker is a large two-handed sword that was recovered from a DEMON repository Snow once raided with a group of HERMES operatives in the Himalayas. Recently he tinkered with it and modified the sword with a cryogenic field enveloping the blade, causing it to deal frost damage when he strikes with it. Made from a combined alloy of kendrium and steel, the sword's density is so high that only those with super-strength can wield it.
  • Hyperspace Utility Implant: A highly advanced cybernetic augmentation allows Snow to access his apparel, weaponry, ammo types and armor straight from a pocket dimension the implant is linked to. It also uplinks with the suit to provide him with an ammunition counter and available magazines left in reserve for his firearms. Originally, Snow used a device attached around his waist like a belt to perform these functions before performing this procedure. It allows him access to various databases, the Champions Response and Protect channel and other commlines, as well as various programs such as text allowing for holopad typing. The belt was since given to the UNTIL-employed hero Armory.
  • Holographic Disguise: Snow is in possession of a small device attached to his left forearm that allows him to switch between his normal self and his more subtle human disguise. A few traits are shared between the real Snow and human Snow - such as the amber eyes and the pale skin.

Ammo Types

The ammo types used in his various weapons are of his own manufacture, though the schematics and even the actual rounds themselves are available for sale.

  • Standard Brass Casing Rounds: Used in different levels of caliber for his weapons, such as 20mm caliber for his autocannon.
  • Buckshot: The standard issue rounds used for his shotgun.
  • Pulson: Non-lethal ammunition. Delivers disorienting charges towards the enemy, usually knocking them out cold under enough fire.
  • "Lighters": Plasma rounds. These particular kind of rounds can recharge on their own, meaning Snow won't run out of ammo when these rounds are in. They can also inflict plasma burning on enemies.
  • "Nanites": Nanobot rounds are used to "eat" power, and can easily shut down machinery and electronics.
  • "Magemasters": Eldritch rounds, enchanted with the capability to punch through all but the strongest of magical defenses and wards.
  • "Holepunchers": Questionite-tipped or Kendrium-tipped rounds, which are capable of punching through almost any kind of armor. Used quite rarely in comparison to other bullets, given their metals' worth.
  • "Blasters": Explosive rounds. They explode upon contact, and tend to be used in the autocannon for safety.
  • "Snoozers: Tranquilizer rounds. Self-explanatory.
  • "Sparkplugs": Electrically charged rounds. Delivers a powerful shock to enemies, but is capable of short-circuiting machinery.
  • "Devastators": Thermobaric rounds. Thermobarics are of devastating (hence their name) destructive capacity, capable of delivering an explosion of longer duration than the Blaster model. Snow uses these only on particularly powerful threats, otherwise risking serious collateral damage.
  • "Shinies": Silver rounds. Particularly useful for dealing with supernatural threats such as werewolves.
  • "Exorcists": Rounds engraved with wards. Mainly used for fighting zombies, ghosts and spirits.
  • "Baptists": Holy water rounds. They are encased in a small capsule within the bullet and release upon contact. Used against vampires.

Weaknesses

  • I Do Believe I'm on Fire: Unlike many reptiles who are cold-blooded, Snowtalon is warm-blooded and does not suffer from any negative effects from warm nor cold temperatures. However, intense heat from natural and supernatural sources can cause his scales to burn like paper, causing intense pain and leaving him vulnerable to further attacks. Previously, he suffered from a mild form of pyrophobia.
  • Don't Play Hero: Though as common with many cases, Snow is almost too selfless, too selfless for his own good. This can be easily used to bait him and to lead him into a trap. He will stop at little to protect another's life, even if it means his own.
  • Houston, We've Got a Hull Breach: While Snowtalon's armour is highly resistant to supernatural, elemental, psychic and most conventional forms of attacks, enemies possessing above-average strength can bypass the density of the Kendro-Questionite suit and potentially cause a breach. This can easily expose his flesh and leave him vulnerable.
  • Sharp Objects and Bigger Bullets: While impervious to low-grade knives and low caliber-bullets, Skarius' scales are not indestructible. Anything more than what the suit can take and anything more his own flesh can take will most certainly do him in - and possibly, permanently.
  • Big Name, Big Stuff: Snow's presence and even his physical size attracts people. Sometimes, the wrong people - his large profile, both physically and from a reputation standpoint, can attract too much attention.
  • Broad Shoulders: His size is both his boon and his bane. His width and height means he can not fit nor sit on and in specific places and it's usually advisable not to take him on stealth missions due to this. He occasionally finds it a bit difficult to get his bulky form inside some entrances. The stealth part is mitigated somewhat with his new holographic disguise inhibitor.
  • I Said I'm Not Worthy: Snow's perhaps biggest weakness, is paradoxically the inversion of one of his biggest, best abilities: his willpower. Snow suffered from an inferiority complex as a child and also struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder, leading to some mental trauma later in his life. As a result, he is frequently hard on himself, and this can affect combat ability.
  • Not So Graceful: While pulling off some serious daring-do maneuvers using his jetboots, Snowtalon isn't as agile as he would like himself to be. Some people can easily run circles about him, and speedsters with the ability to deal damage quickly have the advantage against Snow.
  • When Lady Luck Frowns, You Will Have No Wi-Fi: Snowtalon's Voidite power source is magical in origin, as eldritch energy. As a result, it is unpredictable by nature. If fortune fancies a kick in the balls, Skarius' Voidite power source will shut down at the most inconvenient at times. This can also be caused by direct magical interference. The one chink in Snow's armour is if a spell is directly towards the core, it will cause it to malfunction and power down for anywhere between a few crucial seconds to hours at a time.
  • Deathly Ticklish: Humorously, Snowtalon's scales are extremely ticklish. This has been used against him once, much to his chagrin.

Personality

Snowtalon, on a date, and looking quite dapper at the same time.

Before taking an extradimensional roadtrip to Earth, Snowtalon's personality is in drastic contrast. He is mentioned by other Tralonians, as while being a fair commander and a noble man at heart - was very quick to aggression and spoke formally, refusing to shorten his words. This stemmed from his sense of inferiority towards some particular individuals, and his own particular frustrations about being an orphan and how much he has seen torn down, abused and perverted. Notably, this appeared in one of the Snowtalon shorts: he never shortened words, could easily see the corruption in the Tralonian Judicator, and grew quite angry when he was inside his VIPER cell.

Now, one would expect a creature of Snowtalon’s stature to be hostile, aggressive, and somewhat cold (pun intended). Skarius' personality is contrary to his appearance, much to the surprise of many that first encounter him. He possesses an energetic and virtuous personality, often placing the concerns of others far above his own; even going as far as sacrificing his life so that another may live instead. Such deeds have earned the respect of his peers in the superhero community, as well as the trust of his friends.

However, there is a more negative aspect of him that can push others away: his job requires him to often bark orders at his soldiers and assume the worst, meaning his occasional bitterness can penetrate his out-of-combat, more level-headed attitude. He often puts a blanket of snarky remarks and sarcastic retorts to prevent his more serious side from surfacing. Strangely for a military type, Skarius has a quirky manner of talking about even the most mundane of things, something that's earned him a few raised eyebrows. He tends to have a dry sense of humor and is quite deadpan when the time calls for it, and perhaps a little poetic or literary-minded. The latter is often his "battle persona", the attitude he develops while on the battlefield.

Allies and Associates

Armory

"Mike's like a little brother to me. While he can be almost uncontrollable when VIPER mooks are on the prowl, he's brilliant for such a young one."

Michael Renik is one of the many, many people Snow cares about. The two met at around the same time Riou and Snow met each other, and the two have an almost inseparable relationship. They have a lot in common - power armored suits, both are utter gun nuts and are employed by UNTIL. Their friendship have grown after the development of their respective bases, with Snow accidentally building an overpass over Mike's base in the process.

Particle Man

"Ooooh! He's so tiny!"

PM met Snow in Caprice, and the two maintain a regular relationship. They get along quite nicely, even if Snow would be very capable of killing him with a single step. PM doesn't seem to be afraid of his size, however. The two also create an amusing contrast, with Particle Man being roughly the size of Snow's foot.

Slicer

"What's more strange to the naked eye than an insectoid-based alien mistress in a short dress? A dragon in power a-...oh wait. Or maybe a dragon in a trenchco-...oh wait."

Slicer and our favorite snow dragon have only recently met, but the latter was one of the many at UNTIL who witnessed the finding of the OSF fleet behind the dark side of the moon, and thus knows what happened to the female Ben'Haian. He seems sympathetic to her struggles, as he had endured similar things in his own childhood. He also admires her fighting skill.

Persephone

"Despite the head-crushing thighs and the biceps roughly the size of pigs, she's no belligerent. She's good to you as long as you don't cross her. Much like myself."

A staple of these two's relationships is their constant making fun of each-other. The amazonian demi-god usually calls him [Snow] "Handbag", "Boots" or "Wallet", referring to the fact that reptilian scales are often used for the very same things. In return, he cracks nicknames based around her build - and lest we forget, her chest. Never the less, Snow genuinely cares about her.

Zurine

"Most people would have given up on her now. But me? Never. Once I put my faith in someone, I do not retract it. Zurine is no exception."

As of now Snow is Zurine's trainer for her physical and combat activities. Although the blue Lemurian has a strong belief that Snow's unlucky enough to be stuck with her, the dragon does plan to see her training through. On that note, Snow's remarkable patience clashes with Zurine's ineptitude with ice control.

White Glint

"Naive, but idealistic. Despite his brashness, he's well-mannered and a very powerful asset on the field."

Snow enjoys giving White the occasional jab every now and then, but essentially serves as his de-facto mentor (despite already having one). After White was subject to brainwashing and later broke its hold, the dragon extended the offer to built White a new power-armored suit based on his own designs.

Rogues Gallery

Slayvel

An incredibly lethal swordsman, Slayvel was a high-ranking inner circle member of DEMON who used magical powers to enhance his prowess with his swordsmanship. Since the demise of Luther Black during the Aftershock incident (presumably "living on in mankind's nightmares" according to Demoiselle Nocturne), Slayvel became the de facto leader considering Jack Fool, the Left Hand and Black Shepherd were all in custody at the time.

He assigned the cultists to assassinating UNTIL Project: Hermes agents and collecting enchanted artifacts, one of which being the Band of Edom. However, Slayvel allowed the Band to damage his mind, turning him into a psychotic, sadistic killer, if greatly enhancing his reflexes to superhuman levels and enchanting his sword with chaotic power. Even if his undercurrent of psychological damage is now ever-more apparent, the assassin still leads his own personal harem of Fire Demons and the cultists. Slayvel initially escaped from the Westside prison and contacted by Cyberlord when he discovered the whereabouts of the Roin'Esh ship, knowing Skarius was in the immediate area.

Slayvel nearly jumped at the opportunity to kill Snowtalon, being a highly trained and recognizable UNTIL agent, as well as the one who had subdued Luther Black during Operation: Demonflame. While on Cyberlord's ship, he engaged him in combat using his enchanted katana. Although he failed, he soon used a spell of teleportation and promptly disappeared from the scene.

Now the katana itself is a very different story, thanks to its chaotic enchantment. It is unpredictable - it can be as blunt as a ballpoint pen and won't cut through a thing. Other times, it can slice cleanly through questionite, as Snow learned rather harshly. In his possession and what he has been lying around are artifact fragments of Qliphothic appearance. Recently, it has been stolen through the assistance of Erilion the Immaculate and by Slayvel himself, after the two managed to successfully subdue Snow.

Erilion the Immaculate

The incubus who had taken back the artifact, Erilion is currently in-league with Lord Tharne Darkveil as a minion of his. Working closely with Slayvel and also with DEMON, Erilion first appeared in Venice, Italy. A friend of Snowtalon's, a mild amnesiac Roin'Esh by the alias of Eviscerator, pursued the very same succubus who had disguised himself amongst the populace. Erilion made his way far into the Vatican and uncovered the final piece of the crown required. Now, the only part that was needed was the crown itself - in Snowtalon's possession.

They attacked Snowtalon in his very home and managed to escape with it, through a portal. If interdimensional in origin, the very same crown may already be in Tharne's possession. Combine this with the dark magic clouds, and Tharne is bringing all of Tralonia to be devoured by the Bleak Ones themselves.

As an incubus, Erilion is a powerful demon who has claimed many lives through less-than-savory encounters. Unlike many so-called succubi or incubi inhabited Millennium City, Erilion is the real deal. Using powerful supernatural abilities, he can call upon infernal energies, ensnare his foes in pestilent chains, and choke them with toxic power.

Snowtalon: All That is Well

The follow-up to The Good, The Bad and the Ex, Skarius Snowtalon has been taken by VIPER forces and pulled back into their nest for experimentation, and gene-splicing. The dragon's nature has piqued their interests, but they get more than they bargained for...

Comes in several parts. I - II - III - IV - V - VI - VII - VIII - IX - X

Tropes

Appearance

  • Our Dragons Are Different - His species has evolved into draconic humanoids as if they're a bizarre mixture between mammalian and reptilian anatomies. A big point is their lack of wings, too.
  • Supernatural Gold Eyes - They also glow when he uses his aura sight. Snow's powers are technically supernatural, too.
  • Good Scars Evil Scars - Snow's lip scar was made to make him look even more threatening, all the more to surprise you when you personally know the guy.

Combat

  • Crazy Prepared - To a ridiculous degree. He has access to his weapons at all times. And not to mention his cryokinesis and super-strength backing him up.
  • Boisterous Bruiser and Genius Bruiser - Very few people have made their own weapons and hired a team of builders to help him renovate his entire penthouse into a semi-underground fortress. He's very chummy, too, and tends to be friendly towards others.
  • Lightning Bruiser - Start running when he starts charging, unless you want your skeleton liquified.
  • Blood Knight - Zigzagged. Snow loves a good fight, but he doesn't like to kill people, and when he does, he does it in about the most merciful way possible. Also doesn't like starting fights.
  • Screaming Warrior - Dear oh dear, Snow is guilty of this when entering melee. Guttural growls, grunts, and the occasional roar will ensue.
  • Military Superhero - Due to his augmentations, he's seen as a meta by both human and his own species' standards.
  • Walking Armory and One Man Army - Pretty self-evident. He knocked eighty percent of a VIPER convoy - and that was when they were packing up an entire nest.
  • BFG - The Autocannon. Definitely.
  • BFS - Icebreaker.
  • Foe Tossing Charge - Like has been said above, he can literally send enemies flying when he starts charging.

Personality

  • Gentle Giant - For all of his snarky remarks in battle, his amazing effectiveness in combat, his position as one of the highest-ranking UNTIL agents serving worldwide, sends the chills down his enemies' spine, wears bright white, navy blue and blue lights so you can piss your pants when you see him in combat, all of that on top of being a dragon with a automatic cannon...and adores kittens, having owned one in the years after Detroit before giving her to a friend. He has several hidden depths.
  • Lawful Good - Leans towards Type II. He's more prone to chose the right thing over the lawful thing.
  • Cultured Badass - Comes with a man who can not only defeat an army by himself, but is a strong admirer of literature. Among his favorite works are of Mark Twain or Ernest Hemingway.
  • Heart Broken Badass - Snow has never had a lasting relationship. The people he gets with either disappear with no explanation, or turn out to have been using him for their own ends all along. Snow's heart has been in tatters ever since he was thrown out of his own dimension.
  • Sophisticated as Hell - Speaking of which, despite his intellectual and often literary-mannered method of speaking, in times of stress, he's prone to cluster f-bombs.
  • Berserk Button - His biggest pet peeve is slavery. Seeing someone forced into slavery, especially for a price, is almost unforgivable.
  • Stepford Smiler and Stepford Snarker - While he does it primarily out of necessity and in the case of the latter for laughs, Snow uses his nice but snarky exterior as a way of coping with his guilt and his faults.
  • Bunny Ears Lawyer - Despite being...well, a dragon, and showing himself to be just a little bit eccentric compared to most, Snow is adept at what he does.
  • Bruiser with a Soft Center - A lot of people bring out the cuddly, the gentle side of Snow. Under the scaled muscle he's a big sweetheart, and he doesn't deny an inch of it.
  • Chivalrous Pervert - On duty, he shows admirable restraint. Off-duty...a very, very big tease. Quadruply so when his mating season comes around.
  • Large Ham - Ham-to-Ham combat will happen when he's against an enemy who yells at the top of his lungs and emphasizes everything.
  • Good is Not Soft - Think Paragon Shepard from Mass Effect. From the page: "Genuinely nice, caring, loving, and willing to pistol whip someone who's crossed the moral event horizon or beat down some jerkass, or help kill a complete monster in cold blood. And don't ever hurt his friends. It will probably be the last mistake you ever make."
  • Kendrium Woobie - He gets his parents murdered and mutilated horribly, was framed by his ex, court-martialed for something he didn't do, captured and brutalized by VIPER soldiers, watched tens of thousands of people die before his eyes to Dr. D's orbital cannon, broke down and cried for the first time in years after Multifaria...and yet he moves on. He doesn't let it take him down a notch. He keeps going, and going, and going.

Other

  • Dude, Where's My Respect? - This is all to prevalent for Snow. Outside of the United Kingdom and UNTIL, he doesn't get much of it.
  • Catch Phrase - "Thus Always with Tyrants" is the mantra of both Snow and Praetor Garrison.
  • Big Eater - He's...well, big. And eats a lot. Put two and two together.
  • Bi the Way - A big surprise to uh, those who are 'curious'.
  • Technobabble - This entire page, especially the equipment area, is -full- of it. Same goes for Snow himself.
  • Incoming Ham - Villains, please don't piss him off unless you want a bourbon-powered, scaled, eight-foot ballistic missile coming at you.
  • Superhero Sobriquets - He got a few while still working with the Tralonian Empire. The Prodigy of Tralonia, The One from the North, The Last of the Battlemasters.

Soundtracks

Trivia

  • Snow originally had wings before October 19th, 2012.
  • When scratched behind the frills, Snow will make a deep rumbling sound - the dragon equivalent to a cat purring.
  • He is a regular comic con attendee. Oh, and he pulls some ridiculous cosplays off despite being a dragon.
  • A running gag of Snow's character is his weight, his muscle often been mistaken for fat.
  • Snow's favorite genre of music is classic and modern rock. He has been noted to be a Rolling Stones fan.
  • There are three different Snowtalon builds: One dedicated to Munitions, the original Snowtalon, the second dedicated to Might and Heavy Weapon, Callsign: BRUTUS, and the third and most recent, Skarius Snowtalon, built for Ice.

Public Opinion

"Snowtalon? Oh yeah, he's a really cool dude. In more than one way. A great shot with his guns, and pretty damn creative with his ice powers, he's a man I'm proud to call a friend." - Armory

"Heh. Thanks, Mike. I needed that."

"{A modulated voice} I'll be honest and say that I don't know a lot about the guy's personal life, not that it matters of course. However, working with him has always proven to make a mission and its objective much easier to accomplish. My opinion is of course subject to change over the course of my time knowing him. For now, that's all you're getting. If you get this, Snow.' {puts her middle finger up}" - Anarchy

Snow cups his hand over his mouth, in imitation of Bane from The Dark Knight. "You merely adopted the fake voice! I was born with it, shaped by it..."

"Snowtalon...I remember that name from the club. He be one of the folks at UNTIL who knows the OSF here on Earth, and I am so happy to know I'm not fighting them alone. He seems like a cool guy! Looking forward to meeting him again." - Slicer

"Hey, whatever it takes, Ississ system will be free of the OSF one day."'

"Snowtalon? He amuses me greatly with all that he is." - Gloom

"Oh, it's you again. You use the word 'amusing' too often."

"Snow confuses me sometimes, but he never ceases to amaze me the rest. Bein' friends with him isn't for the faint of heart: the guy's nightly routine seems to alternate between clothes shopping and shrugging off bullets. Yet he keeps going with that toothy-lil' grin of his on a daily basis regardless of circumstance, and that alone is admirable." - Slick

"You're giving me the warm fuzzies."

"Hm... Ah... Ahm... Snow is... Uhm... Adipose? I think that's the word... I hope he doesn't know what that means..." - White-Glint

"I will pluck your feathers."

"To be honest? I don't know him well..but hell, he's one of the few I haven't thought about shooting at yet, and that's a strong statement." - Cypher

"And here's me thinking you'd just go lock yourself in your room and start snorting grain salt so you keep your gravelly voice. But hey, you're not bad."

"Dude's a dragon and an agent for the United Nations Tribunal of International Law. How effing cool is that?" - Canadian Fist

"I know right? Awesome."

"Well. Handbag is a good guy, very good guy. Not going to go into details or semantics, but he can take a joke in stride...and he's good at shooting my clothes apart. So I guess he loves the view, if he comments on my body so much. Heh. I'll most likely not try to turn him into a pair of boots, or... shoes, or a vest, or matching chaps. But in all seriousness, if I needed someone to watch my back, he would be one of the few on a somewhat short list. And that, you can take to the bank. He's not going to read this. Right?" - Persephone

"Definitely not. Ooooh noooo..."'

"Going to deny the ever-living shit out of it." - Persephone

"Still know I more about him, / That has to me been told. / A dragon, wormlike monster, / Slew once the hero bold. / Then in its blood he bathed him, / Since when his skin hath been, / So horn-hard, ne'er a weapon / Can pierce it, as hath oft been seen." - An excerpt of the Song of the Nibelungen, which Snowtalon would find in his mailbox. Sender Unknown.

"...Is someone trying to seduce me, or murder me? Or both?"

"Skarius Snowtalon? Oh, the big lizard guy. Yeah, seen him around HQ. He's all right! Doesn't call me Siri, doesn't complain about mission assignments, gets the job d-- What? A pair of stilts!? Oooooh... I have access to the coffee maker, and I know the guys in IT personally, Snowtalon!" -- Serenity Carpenter

"It's big 'dragon' guy', Siri."

"He's a cool guy, one day he might just beat me in Carls~ Haha! Nah seriously, I'd love to get to know him more, he seems totally cool~" -- Strix

"Ooohooohoooh, don't get too cocky."

"He's a darlin'! Saved me from them ARGENT fellers an' took me flyin' an' all. Ah owe him so goldurn much, it ain't even funny." -- Bessie

"Hey, I can't resist helping people. It's a quirk."

"One of the friendliest dragon-people I know! It's kinda rare to meet one that won't try to use ya as a tiny snack." - Particle Man

"On second thought, you look delicious..."

"Any friend of All-Star's can't be that bad. Snowtalon is no exception. I appreciate his loyalty, sense of duty and drive. Not to mention an arsenal that has helped pull the tide of victory on more than one occasion." - Sparrowhawk

The sound of his shotgun pumping emits nearby. "No problem, hon."

"Who? Oh that dragon guy with the shit ton of artillery. Yea I remember him not too long ago. He seemed to be a bit winded up but he's good people from what I can tell. He sure as hell has enough armaments to just blast a hole into any of his problems. Need a problem solved? Trust the dragon that goes pew pew and bang bang. A true philosophy in life I'd say." - SoulStar

"Winded up? Mate, if you were kicked out of your own dimension, scarred for life at the Battle of Detroit and before all this seen shit that would make a lesser man snap? You'd have some issues, too."

"While Snowtalon might have a fierce looking appearance, tote around enough firepower to level a city block, and be armored enough that it would take a lineup of tanks to even think about denting that armor of his, deep inside he's a kind and caring dragon. I see him going far in the unstable world around us." - Razira

"D'aaawwww, quit making me blush, you."

"Hi Mr. Snowy! You are pwetty awesome and I hope you are ok when you visit your homeplace. I got cookies for you when you get back!" - Chocolate Chip Chelsea

Hanging his head, Snow gives a content sigh. "Thanks, Chelsea..."

"I think his fluff gives him a good image. Well, it makes his image easy to look at, which I have no issues with doing." - Hydro

"Hey! How many times have we talked about this, Arby?"

"Wait, dragon?! I always thought he was some kinda giant, albino, frilled neck lizard or something." - Joah

"What an astute observation! But...yeah, I agree, even I find it confusing."

"I've never met the guy, but I've seen him around. Not a fan of lizards though..."' - Stitch

"For one, I'm not a lizard. Two, the hell was the point of giving your opinion if you have no idea who I am?"

"In my dreams, I saw a red dragon fighting a white one. The white dragon, however, had a big fucking gun and proceeded to reduce my beloved England to swiss cheese. Queen save us."' - Leonard Castellar

"Isn't the red dragon Welsh and the white dragon English? Why would I be shooting my own country?!"

"I got déjà vu when I saw this guy. Couldn't explain it. Saw him and thought, 'That man must be some kinda... dragon-man!' Turns out he was just a dragon. But he sure can burninate all the bad guys. He should be called 'The Burninator' if ya ask me." - Citizen 13

"Bloody hell, really? I thought Puff the Gun Toting Dragon was bad, but now, Trogdor?"
