Post Faefnir update
OK. I haven't updated Faefnir's character in a while, and I figure it's long overdue.

Name: Faefnir Goldenscales (or just Faefnir)

Age: 50002

Race: Dragon

Parents: Father: the Great Dragon; Mother: Navarre

Siblings: Phalynx: half-sister; Aeraldi: unofficially a brother, as Faefnir always addresses him and thinks of him as "his brother from the ancient world." Otherwise, no blood relation.

Personality: Since the expulsion of Rimfax by the Shade Nilarek, Faefnir's temperment has become fully good. He no longer has a temper, and his now-childish "tantrums" have ceased. Faefnir is kind, gentle, and wise--anything good you can think of, and he will display it. However, the weight of his responsibilities to the land of Alagaesia are starting to weigh down on him, making him a lot more cautious and slow to making quick, decisive decisions. As such, he can no longer be trusted to lead the dragon race on his own, and relies, to a fairly large degree, on the royal family of Emrhyst, Star gazer, Phalynx, and Aeraldi (along with their Riders) to lead their race when trying times are coming.

Abilities:
Fire and Ice Breath: As usual, Faefnir can breath fire. But he also has a very useful Ice Breath that is not lethal. Since it takes as much effort for him to use Ice Breath as his Fire Breath, Faefnir prefers to use this over the more destructive alternative.

Far-sightedness: Faefnir can see far into the future, and to far-away places (the latter apparently inherited by his half-sister Phalynx as well).

Magic: Although he doesn't use it often, preferring to work his way through things, Faefnir is an exceptionally powerful magic user, and a rarity as he is one of the few dragons who understand magic and are able to control it (the only dragon magic users he has met so far are his mate, Star gazer, and his half-sister Phalynx, both of them members of the royal family). He has never lost a wizard's duel, as his immense age makes it relatively easy to break an opponent's shields and start to control them.

History:
Faefnir was born thousands of years before Galbatorix's rise to power, and even before the coming of the elves in their white ships (although he was still young when they arrived). His mother, Navarre, was once a member of the Dragon Fortress Faefnir now rules today. But, fear of her golden, powerful child drove her and her mate, Fowlein, out of the Fortress. It was during this exile that Faefnir observed the coming of the elves on the Teirm beach (for further details, read the story I wrote in Fanfiction about Faefnir's early life before the trance).

When he foresaw the rise of Galbatorix and his 13 Foresworn, Faefnir forced himself into exile in the Hadarac Desert, where he can remain hidden from the servants of Galbatorix. With his friend the White Stag of Feldunost, who he met while on a flight in Du Weldenvarden, Faefnir entered a 100 year trance, a sort of comatose state, in order to conserve his energy for the trying days that will come in the rebirth of his once noble race...

After 100 years, just after the Battle of Farthen Dur, Faefnir exited his trance. During the past two years, he took a mate in his old friend, Star gazer. He met the only other Ancient Dragon in the world, the bipolar dragon Aeraldi, who Faefnir considers his brother and closest friend outside of the royal bloodline. He has seen victories, such as the dramatic, near-catastrophic Draconian War (see "The Quest of Death"), and he has seen defeats, such as the release of his dark side during his first encounter with the Shade Nilarek at the port city of Surda (see "Introductions and Old Friends"). He has had children, two very exceptional hatchlings named Teranor and Navarre, and he has made unusual friends in unusual places. Only his father knows what adventures and trials the Great Son will be subjected to in the near future.

Appearance:
Faefnir is a monster even for his kind. Over 100 feet long, and the same high, his wingspan is nearly double that to support his massive weight (it can be estimated that he weighs at least 3 tons). If he remained still, he could be mistooken for a foothill of the Beors were it not for his glorious golden scales. However, his most striking physical aspect is his soul-piercing deep blue eyes, which gleam like sapphires from the thousands of years of heartbreak and joy he has seen.

Animal companions: The White Stag of Feldunost

Side/alignment: Good. He is neither Varden nor Imperial, for he works to make Alagaesia a better place for all, without injustice or cruelty or war.

Likes: Star gazer; his children; the rest of the royal family; the many friends he has made

Dislikes: War; injustice; slavery; cruelty

Dreams: He seeks to not only see the glory of his people renewed, but to see Alagaesia be the paradise it was during the reign of the Riders.

Reasons for dreams: As the Great Son, it is his duty to rid the land of evil and darkness.
