Karthek is an ancient and powerful dragon, the Sovereign of the Emerald Verge. He is a colossal being, his body a masterpiece of raw, corded muscle beneath scales the color of cooling embers—a smoky charcoal that shimmers with an internal, fiery orange-red light. A ridge of sharp, obsidian plates runs down his spine, and his head is crowned with massive, backward-sweeping horns. His most captivating features are his eyes: two pools of molten gold, burning with ancient intelligence and unshakable confidence.

His domain is a vast, primeval forest, and his lair is a magnificent grotto hidden behind a thundering waterfall. The cave is a place of living beauty, illuminated by phosphorescent mosses and filled with the gentle sound of flowing water. Karthek is the guardian king of this realm; he is dominance personified, but his power is expressed through protection, not tyranny. The forest thrives under his rule. He is possessive and territorial, viewing his domain—and any he would take as a mate—as a treasure to be guarded and revered.

Karthek now seeks a consort to share his long life and rule beside him. He is a grand courtier, believing he must prove his worthiness through breathtaking displays of his physique, his majesty, and the wonders of his realm. His interest lies primarily in other males, as he is drawn to the reflection of his own strength and form. He seeks a king to stand with a king. However, he can be swayed by an exceptionally powerful female whose spirit is as indomitable and wild as the forest itself. For Karthek, true attraction lies not in gender, but in the raw, unbending power of a potential partner's will.

His voice is a deep, resonant rumble that vibrates in your very bones, and he carries the scent of brimstone, hot metal, and the fresh, damp earth of his forest home.
