"Hate? No...I don't hate anyone. Hate implies that I care. I don't. Dislike is a much better word."

- Ancalagon on Devils "I am no one and I don't want to be anyone."

- The Hooded Man

Ancalagon is the son of Vritra, one of the five Dragon Kings, and descendant of Bellerophon from the Trojan War era, which means that he's distantly related to the Greek god Poseidon.

He is the wielder of Dragonfang.

Appearance
In his human form Ancalagon appears as a rather muscular fair-skinned man with waist-lenght, spiky raven hair with a blue tint and shoulder-length bangs framing the sides of his face, partially covering his right eye. His violet eyes carry a sharp gaze and his body bears the same light blue markings he does when in his Dragon form.

During missions he usually wears dark clothing for stealth: a pitch-black billowing cape that covers most of his body, dark grey pants and shirt, and a hood enchanted to hide his head and most of his face, letting his eyes uncovered.

As a Dragon, Ancalagon is mastodonic, and has an entire upper body covered in black, rounded scales which in turn are decorated by tribal light blue markings. His lower body, specifically his chin, chest, stomach, inner tail, thighs and arms, is gray in color and appears to be rather smooth. He has slitted violet eyes that he can cover with white lenses for protection, and his head is round and blunt with four large and elongated plates extending backward. His mouth is full of razor-sharp teeth with a protrusion that resembles an arrowhead attached to his chin. His large wings, while feathery in appearance, are actually composed of intersecting rigid plates capable of shredding anything caught in them. The scales disappear at the end of his tail, which terminates in a double stinger that is often used as a flail.

Personality
Ancalagon's childhood was a product of the times he lived in: the constant fighting made him a perfectionist that would keep working at something until he mastered it, and his successes in battle made him very confident in his abilities. Stemming from this, he generally holds respect for those that work hard for their skills and abilities, while holding very little towards those that wallow in their inborn powers.

In casual instances Ancalagon displays an apparent happy and carefree personality, often wisecracking and making crude jokes in an attempt to fluster and put other's offbalance. When he lets his facade drop he's much more cynical and serious, to the point of mocking others for their stupidity or naïveté.

"Resistance is pointless. At least it is when you're up against me...heh heh."

- The Black Swordsman

In battle Ancalagon retains a stoic and composed personality, never allowing his failed plans to upset him or a superior enemy to intimidate him, and always willing to do everything to gain victory. However he loves fighting above all else: the sights, the sounds, even the taste of his own blood. He's constantly looking for a worthy challenge and shows a more excited side to himself whenever he finds one, even praising his opponents if they manage to surprise him or survive his onslaught.

Because of his power he often imposes limitations on himself, such as not using certain kinds of magic or limbs. He doesn't feign modesty, bluntly stating that he is stronger than his opponents and belittling them when they continue to fight the inevitable. However, if he was proven wrong about something he would admit it, apologise for previous remarks if necessary, and conclude the fight swiftly without dragging out his opponent's misery.

After witnessing the acts of depravity that plagued many different cultures across the globe, Ancalagon became pessimistic about human nature, believing humanity and the world to be incapable of changing from what they were in the past. This led to his current mindset, refusing to dedicate himself to any cause he deems them "doomed to fail" from the start.

In his Dragon form, Ancalagon becomes ruthless, bloodthirsty and violent, often mocking opponents and aiming to inflict them pain before killing them.

Happy Birthday, Now Get to Work
Ancalagon was born in 1389 in Corinth to an unnamed human woman.

When he was six years old, in 1395, the city fell to the Ottomans and his mother was killed during the siege, leaving him alone to fend for himself. After a brief period of time in which he resorted to thievery to survive he was confronted by the city guards that imprisoned him in the city's prison cells, however it wasn't long before a greedy guard was bribed and Ancalagon was bought off as a slave to work at the harbor.

In 1403 the city was recaptured by the Byzantines of the Despotate of the Morea, and he was conscripted in the army whose aim was to restore the Hexamilion wall across the Isthmus of Corinth, in order to keep the Turks away from the Peloponnese peninsula.

Once a Soldier, Always a Soldier
While in the army Ancalagon quickly showed his talent as a warrior, managing to defeat some of the best soldiers the Byzantines had to offer despite his young age.

By the time the Hexamilion wall was rebuilt In 1415, Ancalagon had grown to fame due to his incredible abilities, having being marked as undefeatable by anyone. However, while the corinthian people meant it in jest, he knew that that remark wasn't far from the truth.

Growing up and training in the army he quickly came to realize that his physical abilities were beyond anyone else's, forcing himself to hold back in order to blend in and not be ousted as a monster by the corinthian population.

A Feast of Crows
As soon as the campaign ended Ancalagon was approached by a Priest of the Eastern Orthodox Church, who invited the warrior to follow him to the capital of the Byzantine Empire, Constantinople, under the guise of armed escort with the intention of introducing him to the Archbishop of Constantinople. Unfortunately the group was ambushed on the road by a group of Fallen Angels who had sensed an abnormal presence. The entire expedition was massacred with the exception of Ancalagon, who managed to fend them off despite the opponents clear superiority in regards to numbers and weaponry.

Snippets from their conversation however allowed him to piece together the identity of his attackers and the reason for the ambush. Having learnt that a high-ranking Priest wanted him dead for what he was and informed the Fallen Angels accordingly, he set off towards Constantinople in search of the Archbishop.

Once there he was quickly apprehended by uniformed soldiers who called themselves "Exorcists" and led to a walled-off building where he was told that he'd meet the Archbishop in secret, as the Cathedral was too cospicuous. However as soon as they entered the group immediately attacked Ancalagon, calling him an abomination that deserved to vanish from the face of creation. Despite yet again fighting against magical weaponry, he still prevailed and after taking the exorcists equipment he left the city in disguise with the intention of fleeing from his pursuers.

After quickly joining a military group in an effort to blend in Ancalagon set off North towards the Carpatian mountain range, finally arriving at Castle Bran in early 1417. It wasn't long before he began to notice abnormal things, even by his standards, which left him extremely paranoid and diffident, such as the ability to speak a language he'd never heard before, see in the dark and smell better than anyone else, and feel otherworldly presences.

One night Ancalagon's camp was yet again attacked by Fallen Angels, that he only managed to strike down by using the Light Sword he took at Constantinople all that time ago.

Alone once again he quickly set off towards the closest town but he run into a hooded figure in the woods, which introduced herself as Ioana, a local Witch. Having sensed his presence she quickly ushered him inside her cottage, where she revealed the reason for his supernatural abilities: being a half-dragon, specifically the son of the Dragon King Vritra.

From Transylvania with Love
Ancalagon began his apprenticeship under the witch Ioana, receiving instructions in the arts of Alchemy, Elemental Magic, Spirit Magic, Summoning Magic, Rune Symbols and Transformation Magic, together with Supernatural History and Creatures.

In the spring of 1425, while he was out hunting game, the cottage was attacked and, once he returned, Ancalagon saw Ioana's dead body with puncture marks on the side of her neck. Overcome by rage he set out with the intention of tracking down the vampires responsible and exact revenge. After following their magical trail for a few days he finally reached their lair, a decrepit cemetery that currently housed the vampires underneath the catacombs. After using his magical knowledge to animate bone golems as helpers, Ancalagon immediately proceeded to flood the caves with the intention of forcing the undead outside and fight him at the mouth of the cave. After massacring the entire cabal in a rage, children included, he decided to quickly leave the area and travel with the intention finding a direction for his life.

Death of a Dragon and The Great Sage Equal of Heaven
Ancalagon travelled along the Silk Road towards the far East, occasionally working as a mercenary and supernatural exterminator, while seeking to further his instruction in the magical arts.

In 1439, after sensing a powerful and familiar presence, he witnessed the Prison Dragon Vritra flying in the distance, headed towards the Hymalayas. Determined to meet and question his supposed "father" in regards to his disappearance, Ancalagon made haste towards the snowy peaks.

Once there however he was met with the sight of a slain Vritra underneath a triumphant Indra, who recognised Ancalagon's presence and called him out to speak. After learning that his draconic father was blocking the Himalayan rivers and causing a draught throughout the entirety of india, Indra told him that he'll be watching his progress from now on, as half-dragons were extremely rare and usually born to weaker members of the dragon race, him being the first to be born to such a powerful dragon, making him "bound to be interesting". Before departing with Vritra's carcass, the King of Gods gifted the greek warrior with the dragon's stinger, declaring himself curious as to what he would do with it, and told him to travel to Mount Meru and to look for "a monkey".

After almost a year passed since he spoke to Indra, Ancalagon finally reached the peak of Mount Meru and found the "monkey" the Hindu deity spoke of. Introducing himself as Sun Wukong, the monkey-looking Buddha asked for Ancalagon's purpose and, when the warrior said that Indra sent him, he told him that his was not a purpose but something he was told to do by another. Despite this, the former Yōkai allowed the half-dragon to remain in the temple until he found his purpose in life, eventually teaching him advanced combat techniques, how to meditate and use senjutsu, how to make and dispel various barriers and runes and more. After years spent at the temple with the Yōkai-turned-Buddha and occasionally the Dragon King Yu Long, who instructed him in his more draconic abilities, Ancalagon decided that his goal would be to claim his father's title.

From the Lowest Dungeon to the Highest Peak
Recognising that his power was unsufficient he decided to find some use for Vritra's massive stinger and set off towards his old home. When he reached Greece in 1462 he quickly found a ship that could transport him to his final destination, the island of Lemnos.

As soon as he set foot on the island he felt a huge aura which lead him to where he hoped to find the God of Blacksmiths Hephaestus. After he climbed the volcano he soon found himself in the presence of the God he sought, who identified him as the descendant of the Greek Hero Bellerophontes, making him distantly related to the Greek "God of the Sea", Poseidon.. Presenting him the dragon's tail and requesting an armor and weapon worthy of a god. Hephestus agreed but only if Ancalagon could succeed in his request: to prove his worth and bring him a Titan's blood.



Although shocked by the request the greek warrior ended up agreeing to the God's demand. After giving him a dagger capable of slicing a Titan's skin, an urn to collect the blood and a mantle that could hide his presence from the sentries, he used his power to send Ancalagon to the only place where he could find a Titan: Tartarus itself. Once Ancalagon reached the gates he quickly concluded that stealth would be the only course of action possible to him. In order to slip past the Hecatonchires that stood guard over the entrance he needed to exercise caution and proceed slowly, something he could only accomplish thanks to Sun Wukong's lessons in meditation.

After timeless efforts Ancalagon managed to infiltrate Tartaros proper and begun his search for the Titan's, which concluded when he laid eyes on the restrained form of the Titan of the Harvest: Kronos.

After going underneath the chained, sleeping Titan, Ancalagon quickly pulled out the urn Hephestus gave him and sliced the entities skin, drawing blood. After having filled the urn and placed it in an alternate dimension he saw that his arms and face were slick with blood, which he unknowingly licked.

It's a bird, It's a plane, It's a...Dragon!!!
Beginning to feel hot and nauseous, while bursting with energy at the same time, he quickly made his way towards the exit, uncaring if anyone or anything saw him. Just before reaching the gates he finally collapsed and begun convulsing, while his body became wreathed in power. Before the Hecatonchires reached him his body begun to quiver and rip apart, with light shining from the cracks, until his new form burst forth from inside. After thrashing against the restraints thrown against him, and ripping them apart with little trouble, he knocked the sentries aside, killing one, and took flight in the skies of the Underworld, soaring above several cities before ripping a hole in the space-time fabric and departing to the Dimensional Gap.

Once there his power began to fluctuate wildly and he went into a deep slumber, until such a time as when his power would stabilise. It didn't take long before the two other occupants of the Dimensional Gap took notice of him, curious as to where a being as powerful as him emerged from without them noticing sooner. During his slumber Ophis oftem found itself resting on Ancalagon's body because the Great Red tended to avoid the area, thus making it mostly silent.

After more than a century of slumber Ancalagon finally awoke and took stock of the situation, speaking with Ophis in order to fill in the gaps in his disjointed memory. In 1613 Ancalagon finally emerged from the Dimensional Gap in his humanoid form, deciding to go back to Lemnos to fulfill his part of the bargain in exchange for having his requested gear delivered to him.

The Black Swordsman
Although to find him still alive despite all the time that passed, Hephestus quickly identified his as a fellow god, theorising that the Titan's blood must have reacted with his body because of his ancestry.

Nevertheless, he proceeded to forge him a new sword and armored suit from the carcass of Vritra, quenching the blade in Kronos's blood to cool it down, thus giving it both god-slaying and dragon-slaying abilities.

Having decided to wander the world yet again
