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]
