Mental characteristics
Personal history
Cedric grew up as one of the half-blood sons of Nyxaroth the black ancient dragon of the settlement.
As such he had great opportunities to consume knowledge unavailable to most and due to his affinity and actions quickly gained the interest and personal mentorship of his dad over his hundreds of siblings. This accelerated his growth immensely and he was quickly able to even fool his pure-bred siblings with his shadowmagic. After several years of tedious study however his siblings had enough and worked together to put a powerfull curse on him which sapped his strength and clouded his scales. Pride being one of the most central facets to society in Wyrmholm he was unable to face his siblings and much less his father in this state and thus decided to venture away from his isles to make his mark on the world as his father did in his time. This took him around the world where he used his powerto obtain ancient relics and scour tombs, often leaving a multitude of bodies in his wake, those who no longer serve any purpose are better off dead after all. On one of his adventures he found a necklace in an ancient tomb whose peculiar magic seemed to resonate with him and allowed him to read the desires of others. Using this in combination with his shapeshifting powers he quickly ingratiated himself in the Shadowcloak Guild of the Dominion Of Maridia where he now whispers into the ears of the emperor and the Iron councill, amassing a followers and power day by day to one day leave his mark when the time is right

Accomplishments & Achievements
His main acomplishment which also earned him a seat on The Iron Council is his successfull infiltration of the city-state of Steamhaven. Having entered the city he got a hold of the deacon of the Steamhaven University pretending to be a student before eliminating the deacon and taking his place, using this he accessed the military prototypes of the city, bringing back all manners of blueprints and inventions to the Dominion Of Maridia in secret while Steamhaven to this day still suspects the deacon himself of betrayal
Failures & Embarrassments
His main failure and reason for strife in his life is still his curse which continues to restrict his life-force leaving him with the body and appearance of a frail old man which he has been unable to break to this day
Morality & Philosophy
Cedric employs a blanket of "My ends justify all means" which has become a mantra for new shadowcloak recruits, ruthless in their efficiency to best achieve their goals
