━ • ABOUT • ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

****

While she is–in a sense–alive, it is an uphill battle every day to prevent the rot in her flesh from spreading. Were it not for the talisman around her neck, she would have crumbled to dust long ago.

Originally born of Light, Lockjaw succumbed to the Rot of Plague and was partially resurrected by the blood mage, Shedzra. She is able to form thoughts, but remembers nothing of who she once was. She knows only to Obey the one who brought her back. Lockjaw was seen as his pet of sorts, a grand achievement, within her old clan, the Akaantal Band. A beast. Something to be taken advantage of in the way she was most suited to do–to fight those she is ordered to.

At some point along the way, Shedzra grew bored with her. Lockjaw was submitted to his cruel experiments, one of which resulted in four "hatchlings" being formed from her flesh. They were her and they weren't her. Created solely from blood magic, but bound to the magic of Plague, these four had stirred something within her soul. There was the feeling of being "mother", though this was eventually replaced with "self" as each child was essentially her. Their creation led to an increased feeling of disgust toward her resurrector, but was restricted from any form of retaliation. Only one child was deemed worthy enough to keep, the others were left to fend for themselves when the clan moved on.

Her own usefulness came into play when Shedzra staged a coup within the clan. Lockjaw was ordered to attack and kill everyone not willing to succumb to the wildclaw's will. While she was not the only one to fight, the plan had been well thought out, but had not considered that Mulsekrah's children–and Lockjaw's own–would switch sides and defend the current leader.

Yazva, the temporary leader of the clan after the coup, decided her punishment would be less severe than the plotters due to Lockjaw's lack of freewill. She was declared unfit to wear the form of a dragon and was changed through powerful magic into a form that mimicked the "weaker" beast clans and exiled from the clan. Unknown to all, this act released her from Shedzra's hold on her mind, leaving her with the ability of clear thoughts and regaining some free will.

Lockjaw now wanders Sornieth alone in a form much diminished in size and strength, unknowingly being drawn toward the other pieces of herself...

In her recent travels across the Scarred Wasteland, she met Carnage, who is reluctant to let her out of his sight, now that he's determined Lockjaw's frail form as his Charge. Personally, she'd rather have him leaver her alone, but attempting to leave the large Guardian behind has proved rather difficult with no useable wings and much shorter legs than she's used to.
