Born in the Everbloom Gardens, his small clan was soon ransacked by a pack of plague dragons, two of them happened to be his parents that were spies. Left abandoned by his betraying parents and no home now to call his own, Baitinclaw found no comfort in the lush green of his home. Desperate and alone, he cast his lot and swam south to the Tangled Wood where he heard you could hide forever. Bairly left alive after the journey, the thick vines of the shrouded forest protected the hatchling until he was ready to fend for himself. He spent most of his young life as he watched and observing the magics within Shadowbinder's domain. He learned how to lie and steal food and shelter from other dragons, And if his tricks ever failed, he'd run for the hills disappearing into the shadows of the land through deceptive actions and magical feats of nature magic. One of his greatest spells is a warp flower that can transport across distances when prepared beforehand. Many would have thought he was a shadow dragon if not for his green eyes.

His trickster days eventually came to an end when he tried to swindle some food from two traveling dragons; Excaliber and Torbin. Exli' was able to call many of Baitinclaw's bluffs while Torbin was fast enough to catch the snake before he could escape. And while Baitinclaw was begging for mercy and insisting that the two should take Bait to his clan for a trial - his whimpering cries convinced Exil' to intervene in Tobin's attempted execution of Bait. Thus began the journey of these three to travel to the Everbloom Gardens, where Baitinclaw hoped he could get the slip on them on home turf, he was positive that a few escape routes he discovered in his youth were still good enough to give the madman Torbin the slip.

Little did they know, that all three of their lives changed when they discovered a lone egg unhatched within the ruins of this long abandoned lair. A damaged egg on top of that. And with some magic aid from Bait's behalf helped hatched that egg, and out came a ridgeback who could not roar or even cry upon entering the new world? The three dragons decided that they would band together to help raise this hatchling.

One thing led to another, and this sneaky bogsneak now helps run an Inn within the Shifting Expanse. He hasn't told everyone that one day he yearns to return to the realm of Shadowbinder and aid her in her never-ending schemes. He figures until that day comes he'd spend time honing his magic and becoming wiser rather than knowledgeable... as well as sharpening his swindling and silver-tongued skills too.

"I remember my old home, yeah.... It was pretty. Very pretty. But, I still remember the first thing I came out of my shell, I know you don't believe me, but I know I remember! First thing I ever saw in my life was this big ol' Guardian, blue, smiling. She was the leader of our green sanctuary. I saw her more than I did with my parents even. It was really fun learning how to crawl on top of her and playing keep away, Kek... But... Hmm... but that was a while ago... The grounds we lived in recovered, but it's not home anymore. It's not home without her around."

"What a crazy *****."

"I personally think that his charge might be something in the Wind flight. Maybe it's art. The dude hoards more then 'Binder does in her keep and that's saying something. Have you ever even seen what they throw down into the Cresent? Eh... The man's still young. He'll find his true path yet."

"Others say I only ever spoil Saeiqa rotten because it'd make a buffer in case I get on the wrong side of Excaliber - and they'd only be half right. The kid's just that cute I tell ya!"
