Rotte

Rotte- Shredder Ally- The Knowledge Drinker

Theme Song

Mate: None.

Quirk: Dislikes pink and purple despite being that color.

Rotte, in short, is a turncoat and a schemer. Intelligent and thirsty for knowledge, Rotte is interested in how far science and magic can be pushed. Rotte's goal is to eventually be the smartest dragon in the world, barring the deities, of course- although he wouldn't mind if he got the chance to become a member of the deities himself. Rotte has allied with Shredder for no other purpose than convenience- he's just a means to an end.

Rotte is the main strategist and thinker of Shredder's battle plans, which worries Zanzibar to no end. Rotte calmly assures Shredder that he has the Ridgeback's best interests at heart, but he knows he is smarter than Shredder, Zanzibar, and everyone else. Rotte believes that knowledge is power, and due to his position in the Clan, he has access to all plans and records kept by Shredder's band. He knows everyone's strengths- and most likely everyone's weaknesses. Rotte is one of the few dragons in the group to know of Project: Bringer, but he also has a project of his own.

Rotte dislikes Rage's violent tendencies and Disco's flamboyant nature. He manages to get along with Blight and Shredder rather well. Rotte and Zanzibar have a relationship of respect and distrust. For this reason, Zanzibar watches Rotte closely. In addition, Xyzer, Acid, and Octavian do not trust Rotte, and Xyzer notes that the Fae has "his own agenda".

Rotte was the main brain behind Project: Bringer, but he noted that his own plan does not necessarily match it. Rotte had already used Bol as a bodyguard, however, he dismissively ordered the Wildclaw to use far too much power, causing the diseased Wildclaw to overexert himself and die in a battle against Trager. As a result, Trager and Blight cancelled their fights to chase down Rotte. Rotte eventually made it to Shredder after Project: Bringer began.

But Rotte had a twist that not even Shredder knew about- knocking Shredder down, Rotte used hidden magic to link his mind with Bringer- thus controlling the destructive force of an Emperor. With this power, Rotte could annihilate everything in his path on his quest to gain the ultimate knowledge. However, through the teamwork of every dragon on the battlefield, Bringer was defeated. When the link was severed and destroyed, Rotte's mind was broken as a result. He was left in a catatonic state.

Rotte is borderline comatose, and is a shell of what he once was. He lays on the floor in his prison cell, deep in the Azeryx Dungeon. He cannot eat or drink without help, and simply stares into nothingness. Whatever Rotte's fate would be, everyone notes that the Fae lost everything.

"Knowledge is power. I need more power. Do the math." -Rotte
