Biography

Legends

Dragonslayer

Undauntable appears when Wren almost ran into him and his pet cat, Dragon. Wren quickly deduced talking with him was potentially dangerous, as he was easily bored, rich, and powerful. Initially, he wanted to buy Wren clothes and books, only for a trade. Wren gave him one of Sky's baby scales. Undauntable wanted to find this dragon and take all of its scales, saying if they tracked the dragon down, he could have a whole chest plate made of Sky's scales. Wren was horrified at the thought and tells him that she found it in the swamps, and would bring him one every time she comes by. Undauntable told Wren that he doubted she would survive on her own after Wren said she would come back in a year. Undauntable and Wren became friends, though Wren thought he "just barely squeaked into the category at all." Wren stated that becoming "just friends" did not work since two years later, Undauntable asked for Wren's hand in marriage. The next time Wren visited the Indestructible City, a dragon who is later discovered to be General Sandstorm arrived, and the citizens immediately freaked out. Undauntable's bodyguard tried to lead Wren to safety. Wren instead went to save children instead of staying with Undauntable in his hiding spot. Undauntable got slightly frustrated with Wren as there was only enough room for one more, to which Wren says one more child, though Undauntable only wanted Wren with him. In the epilogue, told from Undauntable's point of view, he was sitting by his window, watching for Wren. He mentioned that it has been fifty-nine days since he proposed to her, hoping that the next time she came back, she would stay. He wondered what would happen if he snuck away with Wren and lived wherever she did. Undauntable also worried about Wren, afraid that she may have been eaten by a dragon. His father called for him to sit next to him in the throne room. There, the spy in Valor, Boar, proceeded to tell them about "the girl who speaks Dragon" which Undauntable realized was Wren. His father, upon hearing the description of the dragon's scale color, asked Undauntable where he gets his scales. Undauntable tried to lie, telling his father that an old woman gave them to him, and he only brings one out at a time, because his father told him that fashion is about timing. His father could tell he is lying and tells him that he would find the girl and would control her. Undauntable promised that he would try to protect Wren for as long as possible.

Relationships

Wren

Undauntable finds interest in Wren after he received Sky's pale orange scale from her. From then on, Wren would come back year after year to trade with more of those scales. He initially treats Wren like a rare dragon scale to add to his collection,^[9] having disregarded her privacy and feelings. Despite always complaining about her leaving, he never once tried to stop her from leaving.^[9] Undauntable claims that when he sees Wren, she always makes him mad, but he is bored without Wren^[9] and even asked her hand in marriage.^[10] Later on, he grows to respect her and wanted to protect her from his father. He loves Wren, because she is everything that the Indestructible City is not.^[4]
