Living for thousands of years would give just about anyone a keen eye and an extensive knowledge of history. Being a dragonborn that is more often than not present in just about the center of most historical events would probably give more than just a keen eye though. Civilizations used to seek him for his wise advice, nowadays they just ask him to appraise some art and sell it to the one-percenter of the world, mostly. Talk about a downgrade, but even old gods do new jobs. The things creatures like him do just to see tomorrow— nothing scares something close-to-divinity more than absolute, total oblivion. If selling art pieces (some fake, some real, but what these people buy are the words that come out of his mouth anyway) is going to keep him relevant, then so be it. Gotta keep up with the times.

Naidvar Ireedüi is known to be the last dragonborn of the dragon of truth, Zid (𒍣), to walk the earth since approximately 20██ years ago. He has the appearance of a kind, laidback man somewhere around late 30s to early 40s who dresses like someone a decade younger. If a blacklight was shone on his face, you would be able to see a scale-like pattern on his skin that would shimmer in holographic colors, this is the only dead giveaway he has of his dragonborn nature that he is not able to hide.

The reason for his immortality eludes even him, as dragonborns are only hard to kill— not immortal. Most of them have a slightly longer lifespan than the average human, but to reach the hundreds (let alone thousands) is unheard of. Naidvar has long given up in trying to understand the reason behind his prolonged life, with Zid being unresponsive to all his attempts at communication. The last time They had bestowed him audience was when he first awakened, a lifetime or two ago. His resentment and confusion has fermented into an exhausted acceptance, with no answers or solutions to be found and no deities to confide in.

Until Zid calls upon him again, Naidvar will continue to act upon the dragon's will: to let the truth, lethal and pathogenic, tear open the world. For the unspoken to be spoken at last. To be a witness, first and foremost. Appraise, separate the real and the fake, and give it to the deserving.


  • Names (other than Naidvar or Ivar) that he will respond to are Dimitri, Amir, Pierre, Zidánine, and Santo. He never had a last name, so Ireedüi was his mother's name that he kept to honor her.
  • Face claim is Shamane from Reverse1999.
