Description
A picture is worth a thousand words so here. http://wen-m.deviantart.com/art/Anima-Samurai-44313892 If the artist wishes me to not link his artwork so and contacts me I shall of course remove the link. This is a good idea of what he looks like though.
History
The blood of the Dragon's came out strong in Strident Ember. Even more impressively after his exaltation he proved himself to be a prodigy with the element of fire and with the skills associated with it. He learned to harness his powers at a tremendous rate and while his skills never made him into a great general he was an amazing front line man to lead an attack. At the age of 50 he took time off and impressively devoted himself to mastering the Fire Dragon Immaculate Style a very rare feat for anyone to manage at his age and outside the Realm. He took up teaching in the Lookshy acadamies not long after. He developed some custom charms of his own and grew increasingly more temperate and calm looking into matters of religious significance to him. He is some 3 years from turning 100 and has taken another leave. This time he plans to travel to the far South and find the palace of the Elemental Dragon of Fire.
