[/hider]
This is no deranged, half-crazed beast. This is a fully sapient, highly intelligent, absurdly powerful dragon. Born of the dust to defend humanity a thousand years ago, he once stood as our most ardent protector. Now, he has become mankind's most deadly opponent. He harbors a particular hatred for knights, and hunts them with relentless abandon. Thus far, no one has been able to work out his motive - or if they have, they aren't telling, and Abraxas seems to revel in the fact.

Like the other Guardians, Caradhras was born of the dust to defend humanity during the Apocalypse War. Vast, powerful, and well-versed in the ways of men, he serves as a ward against all but the most dire threats to humanity. Kings from all around the world make pilgrimages to his lair in Magmoor Volcano, where they test their mettle against his mind and magic. He, in turn, selects the leaders of the world through rigorous testing of their resolve, and only the best can pass his discerning eye.

King of Drakengard and ruler of all the Untainted, he was personally chosen by Caradhras to lead humankind with a firm yet gentle hand. He's also one of the finest swordsmen this side of Aion. His national policy is "Stay the Course," in which he promotes economic stability by minimizing changes to the country's laws. As a result, citizens are generally free to do what they like. The king used to be a wandering knight who took all kinds of quests, ranging from the mundane to the glorious. One day, he took a quest from a beautiful silver-haired lady who asked him to challenge the dragon Caradhras. He did, and returned with the Sovereign Sword in hand before marrying the lady who gave him the quest. The man made a point of being a father to his children, sometimes even forgoing important official duties to spend time with them. He knew many a soul whose father was absent, and he didn't want his own children to go through that.

If ever there was a more mysterious woman, you won't find one on Aion. With her unique silver-white hair, discerning eyes, and carefree demeanor, people often have difficulty deciding whether Alexander's beautiful queen is exactly as young as she looks, or far older than she appears. Her ears, though pointed, are not long, which means she is no elf despite her inhuman features. Alexander relies on her more than most people realize, and though he is the public face of the country, Vali handles most of the busywork that makes the country tick. She also takes her role as Queen Mother very seriously, and refuses to let hired hands raise her children in her place despite the growing burdens placed on her shoulders. Every prince and princess of Drakengard owes their upbringing to her.
