A legendary Templar acting on his own authority, very few have seen under his wrappings and lived to tell what is the true origin of the Lord of Flies... [Bloodied, his scream feels unnatural and with DC 18 Perception, one could say it resembles a bit the Dragon's. Last Stand, his wrappings are damaged and fall off and his scaled body, that of a dragonblood human, is revealed.]
