I will see you bereft of all that you have, of hope and happiness. I will see your nation ruined and your allies reduced to ash. I will see you alone and wretched and then you may linger on for some time after, in some dark and lonely corner of Nirn and only then shall I be content.

Historical Information

Vulmaarthur, ("Dark—Terror—Overlord") is a first generation black dragon hailing from the Dawn era itself where Nirn had only just taken shape. Much time had been spent in Akavir as the Dragon's ancestral homeland, While most black and red dragons had been wiped out during the war between the Tsaesci and Po Tun after the Po Tun had sheltered the Dragons, Arthur escaped persecution by disguising himself as a mortal, appearing to be a tall, muscular man with long, black hair with unnatural enchanted red eyes. One of the last black dragons, Arthur fled Akavir, immigrating to Skyrim where he could blend in more easily- it was here that would become his new home for many many years.

A direct descendant of Alduin, One of the first separated from Alduin by Akatosh, Vulmaarthur bares a striking resemblance to his "Father" and wields power to match. A Legendary Dragon whom slew some of the most powerful Dragons in history and following Alduin's disappearance, Vulmaarthur became famous as the "Black Dragon of the North", As he could often be seen in the skies just beyond the reach of mankind's wrath and rarely left Skyrim, The nation he considered the closest thing he had to a home.

Vulmaarthur, A Dragon and therefore ambitious by nature aspired to overthrow and absorb the soul of Alduin, Though Alduin's unique connection to Akatosh kept Vulmaarthur's ambitions in check, unsure as to whether or not Alduin could truly be killed or contained. With Alduin's disappearance in the Merethic era and the subsequent Dragon Wars that followed, Vulmaarthur sought to capitalize on his kinds fall from grace and slew a few of the Dragon Lords, Alduin's loyal lieutenants, The Eight most powerful Dragons in all Nirn and forged weapons and armor of unmatched quality in this period, using many of the resources of the Dragon Cult in a proxy war to buy the needed time to forge these master pieces, sacrificing the lives of thousands.

With the collapse of the reign of Dragons, Vulmaarthur wandered throughout Skyrim, posing in a humanoid form fighting as a mercenary in battlefields across Tamriel for centuries, Learning new techniques in swordsmanship, sorcery and smithing, Many of which by the fourth era had been lost to history. When the Great War erupted between man and elvenkind, The Old Dragon sided with his age old enemy- Man and would go on to slay hundreds of elven soldiers in his human form. Despite Vulmaarthur's intervention, The tide of the war couldn't be won through conventional means and The White Gold Concordat was signed. To the dismay of the Ancient Dragon, The enemy that defeated his own kind were felled by the elves, a far more distasteful defeat in his eyes.

Upon the return of Alduin, Vulmaarthur set out to bind his age old foe but before the plan could be enacted, An anomaly vanquished his intended target, The Last Dragonborn. For a time the appearance of the Dragonborn both puzzled and intimidated him, A mere mortal vanquished Alduin. Once again too late, The Last Dragonborn disappeared without a trace, Again to the dismay of the Ancient Dragon. The Ancient Dragon wandered again, attempting to discern a purpose, Though with the return of dragons, he could finally move about as he had in days long past.

Eventually Vulmaarthur decided that he would rebuild and improve upon the fallen Dragon Cult to strengthen his own power-base as times proved more and more calamitous, It appeared if ever there were a time to seize greater power in Tamriel, Now was as good as one could hope for.
