Biography

Baleful Wood, Tellus, and Judgment

Zagnal serves in the Aether military as a red dragon-headed officer who escorts exhausted arrivals to their tent and follows command discipline. He later supports Randidly’s frontline deception by remaining with an Aether Key so Nether observers will not immediately recognize the true key’s absence. That assignment shows a subordinate trusted with operational risk rather than merely a ceremonial aide, even though much of his work occurs outside spectacular duels. Together, these moments define a continuing role through concrete duties, loyalties, and consequences rather than a simple succession of locations. (Chapters 1046, 1092, 1131)

Appearance and personality

Zagnal is a humanoid man with the head of a red dragon and the bearing of a soldier who responds with sharp salutes.
