Inviting you to meet Trelleir, scholar, friend ... and dragon?

Physical Description : Human Male

He wears his dark hair with red highlights, short. Trelleir is slender and tall for a human. But still manages to present the image of a bookworm, someone who is not a threat. To the town bully, this opened Trelleir up to ridicule. To his credit, he never broke his oath to take revenge for the death of his friend.

Physical Description : Dragon

In his true form, Trelleir is rust-colored. When you peer into his dark red eyes, the irises can appear to have flames in them.

He is so striking he is pictured on the cover of Fire and Amulet.

Background:·  

Trellier didn’t know where the true home of his kind was. His earliest memory was of a sunlit chamber and a hard landing on sand. For an unknown amount of time he watched the waves crash against the beach and the water birds fly in the sky before diving beneath the surface to catch fish. Newly hatched, he couldn’t fly and could only flap his wings. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get enough lift to get off the ground. Hunger helped him adapt. Holding his wings above the waves, he waddled out into the water. Using his wings to keep him afloat, he waited for fish to come to him.

Eventually he left the area and wandered lost around the land until ending up in Darceth.

More About Him (Secrets or Public)

No one in the village of Darceth, especially its leader, have seen him fight. The only time he was seen to hold a sword was on the night Caldar took Deneas' mother and tried to claim the young Deneas as a sacrifice to the goddess of the volcano.

Trelleir built himself a special home in a mountain cave beyond the village walls. The narrow, steep path to his cave was trapped to keep the curious away. And the final layer of defense? Rock walls were rigged so that he could seal the cave entrance protecting his belongings and his books. But it was not a trap. Within his quarters was a secret entrance into the lava tubes that led deep into the mountain. And if one knew the way, the tunnels would leave  you to safety two valleys over.

His greatest fear was not just to have his secret uncovered, but that is is learned by Deneas. His best friend is a slayer and he is a dragon. There could only be one outcome. He would have to either kill her or be killed by her.

I hope you enjoyed this introduction to Trelleir. To learn more about Deneas, visit her interview.
