Aechelon der Furchtlose, Katzenvolk-Krieger auf Donnerschlag

"Aechelon the Fearless is a legendary figure amongst the ranks of the trappers and even in the land of Alegis in general. Aechelon was raised as the youngest son of the Felis king, Hesmiod. As the youngest in line for the throne Aechelon never really focused on politics and nobility and instead immersed himself in training for the games of the gods in Vensis. After training for years he entered the contests and on the first day of the opening ceremonies for the games the colosseum was attacked by a Spiny Thorntail. It was mass chaos as citizen and guardsmen alike clamored to escape as acid and thorns rained down amongst screems of terror. It wasn't even a thought in his mind as Aechelon started harboring people to safety and guiding them towards exits. Unfortunately this passively defiant act caught the attention of the Thorntail as he was the only one in a sea of terror that was not running for safety. Aechelon became the dragons sole focus as it began to fling thorns down on him as they embedded in his shield. Aechelon saw a break in the barrage and used the opportunity to heft his spear at the dragon, striking it in the thigh. Enraged by the young felis's defiance the horntail rained acid  down burning through his shield and armor. Archelon faced what he thought would be his death with bravery and as everything went dark he used his body to cover a small child trying to take cover from the spray of acid. When Aechelon awoke he was covered burns and barely alive, being tended to by healers at the lodge. Aechelons courage had given people enough time to escape and bought enough time for trappers form the lodge to arrive and drive the dragon off. Due to his bravery Aechelon had saved many lives that day and he gained the title Aechelon the Fearless. Upon recovering he officially joined the ranks of the lodge and grew in renown through the years until he reached the rank of veteran. He is respected and admired by greenies and veterans a like.

Thunderclap was a gifted to Aechelon by his uncle Teramiz after Aechelon was inducted a s trapper. Even as a foal Thunderclap was very quick and his speed is what earned him his name. Aechelon raised him from adolescence to adulthood and they have strong bond. Pegasus are known for being far less skittish than a normal horse and that paired with his battle training make him a great mount for fighting dragons. His small size compared to dragons and quick speed make it so that Aechelon and Thunderclap are able to speed around the less nimble dragons and avoid their attacks. His armor was specially crafted when Aechelon visited mount Osympion though he never revealed where it came from or who crafted it. Some speculate it was made by one of the gods themselves."
