William the Warrior
William the Warrior is a changeling formerly held captive by Emir of the Ten Thousand Blades.
Overview
A quiet, shy boy in his youth, William was often bullied by his peers, being beaten savagely enough that he required make-up to hide the bruises from his father. He was carried away to Faerie after wishing on a star to be taken from his suffering.
There, he was turned to a gladiator, facing fellow changelings in the arena. He escaped when he succeeded in besting even his captor. Unfortunately, when he sought out his former bullies, they saw none of the changes he had undergone and merely mocked him further.
Speculation
Though his seeming and kith are unknown, William's description as a graceful warrior decorated in scales and sharpened teeth make it likely he is a Draconic Fairest.
