Rusek the Red

Rusek the Red is an original dragon villain character I created for a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. As a son of Tiamat, Goddess of Dragons, Rusek is among the most powerful red dragons on the Prime Material Plane. While most dragon species have an ability to shapeshift into an Elven form, Rusek has the unique ability to shift form to that of a human. Evil to the core, cunning, and with a temper to match his fiery breath weapon, Rusek and his followers laid waste to countless settlements, cities, and conquered more than one kingdom before a coalition of forces made up from Elves, Dwarves, Humans, and other races ended his tyranny. However, after the final battle when losses were counted on both sides, Rusek’s body was not among the slain. His ultimate fate remains a mystery.
