Personality
Drekisal hides his ambition and greed under a veneer of dignity and politeness. He speaks softly so as to avoid the shrillness associated with kobolds, but can manage a surprisingly commanding tone when required. He is cunning, always evaluating the situation and seeking advantage.

Appearance
Drekisal looks as close to a miniature dragon as a kobold can get. He has scales so black they seem to suck in light, save for some crimson highlights on his head and down his back. A pair of large horns like a black dragon's frame his snout, while a pair of small wings grace his back. He dresses in finery that matches his black scales, and carries himself with a sense of dignity that seems unusual for a kobold.

Background

Drekisal doesn’t come from the largest and most prosperous of kobold tribes, but his tribe, the Iron Scales, still lived fairly comfortably thanks to dwelling in the heartland of the Dragon’s realm. Like most kobold tribes in the area, the Iron Scales recognized just who was responsible for their prosperity and showered the Dragon with adulation. When Drekisal hatched, his unusually draconic features were viewed as a blessing upon him (though there was some muttering about how his scales were not of the Dragon’s color).

For his own part, Drekisal’s attitude toward dragons was… different. Perhaps it was because of the reverence his blue scales, horns, and breath, and wings won him. Perhaps it was because of the magical power he swiftly developed. Whatever the case, Drekisal looked at dragons… and he hungered. Hungered for their strength, their power, for the respect they commanded, for while he was honored by his tribe, yet he was all too aware of the disdain the other species in the Dragon’s domain held for kobolds.

For he was not content to stay underground with his tribe, but rather started working his way up in the Dragon’s nation. While his skill with magic and cleverness allowed him to find a place in the nation’s service, it was his silver tongue that proved to be Drekisal’s greatest gift. By its careful application he steadily climbed in rank and influence until he came to the attention of The Dragon’s youngest child, a young dragon by the name of Maelikovari.

She recognized in Drekisal a kindred spirit--one ambitious enough to have potential, while cautious and cunning enough to avoid getting himself killed. For while Drekisal was ambitious, he had no desire to rule--crowns drew too much attention, after all. No, he would rather be highly placed but not at the top, wielding power without the attention (and hatred) those in charge tended to draw. This suited Maelikovari well. She called for him and gave him an offer--serve her, and she would see to it he had the power and wealth he desired, so long as his ambition served hers.

Drekisal took this deal eagerly, and swiftly proved himself valuable to Maelikovari. His silver tongue was well-employed in building deals and alliances, or sometimes smoothing ruffled feathers. Once he negotiated a settlement between a kobold clan and a humanoid village that left both thinking they’d gotten the better deal, while really they’d all ended up owing Maelikovari (and himself) a favor. Not all of his work was with his words, however: his magic was also useful in providing protection to Maelikovari’s other agents.

Hence, when Maelikovari heard of the efforts to build up a base of power in Gelkrosh, she put forth Drekisal as a possible member of the team. After all, they would need a diplomat in their efforts… and a diplomat who is also a wielder of magic is a powerful asset.
