Zavian is a skilled magus and shapeshifter hailing from the cold continent of Aesiron. Showing a natural affinity for magic, he was trained at a young age to become a mage for his kingdom. Curiously being able to wield multiple types of magic with relative ease, he decided to practice particularly with nature and arcane, learning to shapeshift. He's also picked up the profession of alchemy, becoming skilled at creating and brewing potions. When he's not practicing alchemy, he spends much of his time studying history, most considering him a sage.

Because he was often out in the woods, practicing his magic and alchemy, he created a cozy shelter for himself within the Lundrian forests. This second home is in a small clearing where a tiny waterfall descends into a small pool. He keeps some of his supplies here and, if he needs to get away from his first home in the elven city of Draevar, this is where he stays. He cloaks the surrounding area in a magical aura that conceals the place, so nobody else knows of it.

Zavian is capable of assuming the form of a dragon. This form has black and lustrous scales like obsidian, with massive wings stretching from his back. His horns grow in size in this form, and he is capable of breathing a brilliant blue fire—significantly hotter than a typical orange flame. While he can usually be in this form for an indefinite period, if he becomes severely injured, he will be unable to maintain the shapeshift. While in his dragon form, he is know as Zyveros.
