Dran

"I don't know man, murder's pretty dope."

~Dran, when pressed to apologize

Dran was a kobold cultist in the service of Taqtrekis, a green dragon that claimed the ruined city of Dragonsbeard. The adventurers meet Dran when he and his fellow kobolds attacked them by the Tibor Trail on their way to Mirrorpoint. Dran was blunt, stand-offish, and a little murderous.

Early Life
Little is known of Dran's early life. Taqtrekis hints that Dran used to be a dark elf before joining his cult, where the green dragon used his blood to transform his followers.

Events Before Mirrorpoint
The adventurers captured Dran after his group's defeat, at which point they bound and interrogated him, threatening to make "lizard soup." Dran was mysteriously able to escape his bindings, freeing him from Tal's axe.

Later, the adventurers would find Dran behind a trick wall which revealed a tall crevice leading up to Dragonsbeard. Dran revealed that Taqtrekis learned of his failure and sentenced him to death, seemingly poisoning him and slashing him with his claws. In his escape, Dran stumbled into the tunnels beneath Dragonsbeard.

Dran would begrudgingly join the adventurers, offering what he knew for a chance to escape the Tunnels. Here he would meet one of the few other kobolds he could tolerate, Veks, who helped shame the adventurers into healing the ill Dran. In exchange, Dran fought his former master with the adventurers using only a rusty ballista arrow; however, he would give his life shielding Arcene from Taqtrekis' breath.

Veks would later comment that he'd buried Dran.
