Revision as of 02:33, 1 April 2020

Skiadrum (スキアドラム Sukiadoramu) was a Dragon known as The Shadow Dragon (影竜 Eiryū) and was the foster father of Rogue Cheney.[1][2]

Appearance

Skiadrum, like other Dragons, is a gargantuan quadrupedal beast, however unlike most other Dragons, he is covered in pitch-black scales; atop his head, Skiadrum has two sharp horns and sports a small, pointed beard of shadows on his chin. Skiadrum has no visible pupils, and his eyes instead bare a great resemblance to Gajeel Redfox's own when the man enters Iron Shadow Dragon Mode. Between his horns[3] and running down his spine, Skiadrum has a mane of shadows; his wings are covered in the same material.[4] Because of the shadows his body is composed of, Skiadrum has a constant stream of shadows being emitted from his head,[5] wings, spine and tail.[6]

Personality

Skiadrum was kind enough to take in a young Rogue Cheney and raise the boy as if he was his own son, and taught the boy how to use his own variation of Dragon Slayer Magic.[1] However, upon revealing that he used Magic to change Rogue's memories of his disappearance into ones of him being sick and dying, Skiadrum shows himself as more of a figure who is willing to do what is necessary. Though, on that same note, Skiadrum also did it to protect Rogue and give him the memory and results of what would've happened had he actually killed him, showing that even though he tampered with Rogue's memories and instilled a false sense of confidence and sorrow, Skiadrum still loves the boy.[7]

History

Many years ago, Skiadrum was among the Dragons who had his soul stolen by Acnologia's Dragon Slayer Magic, which left him in a half-dead state.[8]

Not long after this, Skiadrum taught a young Rogue how to use the Magic that was to able to kill Dragons themselves: Dragon Slayer Magic, giving Rogue the characteristics of Skiadrum in the form of Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic.[2] Skiadrum, after the fact, participated in a plan concocted between Igneel, Zeref and the Celestial Spirit Mage Anna Heartfilia, and hid himself in his foster child (like the other four Dragons) via the Dragon Soul Technique. This was done for two reasons, one of which was to create antibodies to stop Rogue from ever turning into a Dragon; and the other was to allow Skiadrum to give his tattered soul time to heal so that he could kill Acnologia. However, the Ethernano in the atmosphere was not dense enough to allow for the Dragons to heal properly, and as such, Skiadrum manipulated Rogue's memories beforehand (against Igneel's wishes) into thinking that he was ill and that Rogue had killed him, and then had Rogue sent through the Eclipse Gate to July 7, X777: a year when the Ethernano concentration was exceedingly high.[9][10][7][11]

The Dragons then reveal that they are dead regardless, and that it is due to Acnologia's Dragon Slayer Magic taking all their souls and leaving them half-dead. The Dragons also reveal that they hid inside the Slayers' bodies to prevent Dragonization, wait to kill Acnologia, and also to prolong their fleeting lives, with Skiadrum adding that once they leave, they cannot return to their bodies, as well as that the power they used today was the first and last time they used the strength they did.[14] The Dragon then ascend to the sky and claim that in accordance with the Magna Carta forged between their two races four hundred years ago, they will continue to watch over humanity as they carve out the future.
