Natsu Dragneel (CM6)

"An old dragon punished (marked, haunted) by the sins of his past..."

-  CM6

Natsu Dragneel (ナツ・ドラグニル, Natsu Doraguniru) is a S-Class Mage from the Fairy Tail guild, and one of their most powerful members, being known far and wide by his title of Salamander (サラマンダー Saramandā). This Natsu however belongs to an alternate timeline from that of our own, hailing from Earth Land's future in which certain key events had ended differently. Natsu is also the main protagonist of Fairy Tail: Fall of the Dragon, a unique storyline telling us the possibility of a future that might-have-been if things had turned for the worst.

During the battle between the Nine Demon Gate's against his friends, the outcome in his world was entirely different, with the most notable of all being that Natsu's friends losing their lives and others being killed during the struggle. With so much grief, it unbalanced his mind, nearly drove him over the edge. With so much rage and agony writhing inside him, Natsu kills Mard Geer and a few other Etherious, effectively deciding to become the new leader of the Tartaros Guild in order to separate himself as much possible from Fairy Tail. It wouldn't be until years later that Natsu confronts Zeref, taking his life by unknown means, only to discover that he was his brother, further plunging him into despair.

After the events of the Big Zero Incident, Natsu was one of the few remaining survivors still alive in all of Earth Land. Years later, he would come across the last remaining user of Dragon Slayer Magic in the form of an infant Kaido Ryuzaki, deciding to take him on as his apprentice.
