Ragnar Ghiscara

"Each swing of his blade like the roar of a dragon."

- Zicoihno

Ragnar Ghiscara (らぐなあぐひすから, Guhisukara Raguna, lit. Norse for Strong Councelor) was an ancient mage hailing from an extinct nation east of the Kingdom of Fiore. A swordsman par excellence, his armor was said to be made of dragon scales, and his sword, of a dragon's teeth, reported to be salvaged from a dragon slain by the infamous Acnologia himself near the latter parts of the Dragon Civil War. Though a boy during the final fall of the dragons, Ragnar later carved his way into the history books as a fearsome warrior and mage. He was known promptly as the Dragonknight (竜騎士, Ryūkishi) by the masses. Unbeknownst to most, he was the only person to face Jötnar, the demon that walks amongst men, and live to see another day—the nature of the battle was and still is a mystery.

There is no official record of when Ragnar died or how, it's said that at some point, the mage set off for the far east and never came back. His name and legend are the subject of bedtime stories for little boys hoping to be a shining knight in their own lifetime within Fiore and beyond. The man that swung a sword forged by a dragon, a hallowed legend. However, there are those that remain skeptical of the hero's tale and his dragon forged armory.
