Aradante

Aradante was the first of 10 hatchlings to a humble Plague family. During a gruesome Dominance war, both of Aradante's parents and two of his siblings were tragically exalted to the Gladekeeper. Aradante collected his remaining siblings and cared for them until they were old enough to go out on their own. Over his travels, moving area to area in search of safety for his family, he learned of the tragic demises of four more of his siblings.
Eventually Aradante was alone. He travelled, ears open and heart quavering in fear for his few siblings left he could no longer protect.
One day, he came across Serahlie and her clan. They each shared their backstories, some as tragic as his own. He felt very welcomed and decided to spend some time with the clan. They eventually became his new family.
The reason he is one of the clan's top warriors is because of his intense need to protect his loved ones. He knows there are three siblings left alive out there, but he has not been able to contact any of them. He wishes he could've protected the rest of his family, but he swears to himself every day that he will not let any of his current family down.
