Referred to at the beginning of the Uncrowned King tournament as "Black Dragon Prisoner", Naian Blackflame is the last known remaining member of the Blackflame royal family. An Underlord following the Path of Black Flame, Naian was driven mad by his power, but was used by the Dragon faction as a competitor in the Uncrowned King Tournament. During the tournament, Lindon and Mercy are set to fight Naian, but Lindon is determined to send a stronger message to the dragons than what a simple victory can provide[1]. With the assistance of Little Blue, Lindon manages to free Naian from his madness, though Lindon ultimately loses the fight. Mercy then faces and easily defeats Naian who surrenders. As punishment for his failure and as a message to Lindon, Sophara executes Naian where Lindon can see, much to his dismay. Moments later, Northstrider teleported into the room where Mercy and Lindon waited and delivered Naian's final words: "The dragon advances".[2]

Appearance

Naian is described as looking older than thirty-five (though his true age is less than this). He appears haggard and worn and no more than skin and bones caused by long captivity. He also possesses a black tail as a result of his Goldsign.

Personality

Before being healed by Lindon, Naian generally shows bestial anger and aggression. After his healing, Naian shows a degree of civility of honor before his death.

Biography

Prior to his fight with Lindon, Naian spent the entirety of the second round of the Uncrowned King tournament eliminating everyone he encountered. It is not known how he acquired one of the crowns. His history before the tournament is not known.
