Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born as part of a business transaction, Mialones Crawn was gifted to his father as an egg. He never knew what his father had used to pay for him, or for a night with his mother, nor did he particularly care. His father was the head of a thieves' guild, and his birth was all business. Rumor had it, however, that the act of conceiving him had left his father with an unhealthy infatuation.
He spent his youth as his father's chief enforcer, slaying any disloyal guildsmen, murdering politicians, and generally amplifying the growth of the guild. Meanwhile, his father often told the story of his one night with the Queen. Eventually, Mialones took an opportunity afforded by his position to disappear for a few years.
He had gone to his mother's palace, and the two hatched a plan. Upon his return, Mialones used his father's obsession to turn the guild into the Miulkari Di'werkihlna, worshiping his mother as a living god. Once the cult was established, it was the work of a night to drain the remaining thief-loyalists of all of their memories and flay them to death.
Ever since, he has managed the Miulkari according to his mother's direction. They are not concentrated in any one locale or even continent, no more than a couple dozen in any given area, but they span the globe.
Sexuality
Mialones is a sadistic murderer. His favorite targets are women with long black hair and pale skin. He especially likes elves.
Employment
Mialones is the Archmage of the Miulkari Di'werkihlna, a Dragon Cult that is halfway between a secret wizard's guild and a thieves' guild.
Failures & Embarrassments
Mialones' only soft spot is for his mother. Any insult to her is met initially with a blind psychotic rage. Anyone that survives that treatment will find a disproportionate response through machinations and the deaths of loved ones.
Mental Trauma
Mialones has been killing since he was a child. While this wouldn't be a problem for a full blooded black dragon, the human side of him has been driven into a persistent psychotic state. Only his willpower keeps him from imploding and taking everything he can see out with him.
Intellectual Characteristics
Mialones is intelligent and tightly restrained. This intellect and willpower hide a vicious psychopath full of spite and nihilistic hatred.
Morality & Philosophy
Mialones is a Nihilist. He essentially lives for two things: his mother's praise and the sadistic murder of his victims. Everything else is just setting up for one or both of these.
Taboos
Mialones is unquestionably loyal to his mother, and would never consciously betray her.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Mialones has only two concerns: make his mother happy, and enjoy killing things.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Mialones is a calculating monster. He's a mediocre strategist but a great tactician.
Likes & Dislikes
Mialones lives to hear his victims' scream, though simply looking in their eyes as they choke on blood is a close second.
Virtues & Personality perks

Vices & Personality flaws

Hygiene
Mialones lives a solitary life, and only bathes when preparing for company. Consequently, he often has the miasma of decay associated with black dragons.
Social
Mannerisms

Speech
Mialones has a thick accent borne of his hermetic lifestyle and removed generation.
