Pyrrhus, once a valiant warrior, now embodies the fearsome visage of a flame skeleton. Before his transformation, Pyrrhus was a man in his mid-thirties, his face etched with the scars of countless battles, his eyes reflecting a fierce determination. Clad in heavy armor, he led his party into the heart of an inactive volcano, seeking glory and treasure. However, their encounter with the red dragon perched atop a boulder within the volcano's corridor altered his fate irreversibly. The dragon's fiery breath engulfed Pyrrhus, melting his flesh and leaving him buried in molten rock, his skin peeling away into ash.
As his companions watched in horror, the dragon offered them a twisted salvation: Pyrrhus could be revived, but at a steep cost. Desperate, they agreed, and Pyrrhus was reborn as a flame skeleton, his armor now a deep, ominous black. A glowing fire aura enveloped him, and he felt the dragon's presence in his mind, its voice promising power in exchange for servitude. Pyrrhus, now bound to the dragon, must navigate his new existence, fueled by the dragon's fire, with the ability to unleash its wrath at any moment.
Pyrrhus's unique trait is his unwavering loyalty, now twisted into servitude to the dragon. His voice, a chilling echo, speaks of his lost humanity, yet his actions are driven by the dragon's will. His internal conflict between his former self and his current state drives his narrative, as he seeks to understand his place in this new world. His journey is one of power and redemption, yet the dragon's influence keeps him shackled to a path of darkness.
In this world of magic and peril, Pyrrhus's transformation reflects the harsh realities of seeking power at any cost. His companions, now bound to the same fate, must navigate their roles as the dragon's pawns, their lives forever altered by their desperate choice.
