Rustwing The Violation

Ser Aldrian was once a beacon of righteousness, a dragonborn paladin who stood as an unwavering guardian of the celestial Trinity. His scales gleamed like burnished copper, and his armor—forged in the halls of the most holy sanctuaries—radiated divine purpose. For three centuries, he walked the mortal planes, smiting the wicked and sheltering the innocent beneath his golden wings. Yet during a catastrophic battle against an ancient infernal lord, Aldrian was betrayed by the very powers he served. As he fell into the abyss, crying out for salvation that never came, his divine connection severed like a severed thread. The Trinity's silence became his eternal prison, and their abandonment festered into something far darker than mere despair. Centuries of torment in the infernal depths transformed Aldrian into something unrecognizable, something that transcended demonhood itself. His holy armor didn't merely corrupt—it fused with his very essence, the blessed metal twisting through his flesh and bone until it became the jagged horns, tattered wings, and barbed tail of a true dragon. His oath, once sworn to protect the innocent, inverted into a vow of desecration and ruin. The celestial light that once dwelt in his heart was replaced by shadow and crackling malice that arcs like profane lightning across his tainted form. Now known only as Rustwing The Violation, he is remembered by none as the hero he was, only as the rusted abomination that brings suffering wherever his corrupted wings carry him. His true name has been erased from history, replaced by the bitter irony of the very armor that once symbolized his nobility.
