Astarathian
As strange as it might seem, the gold dragon1 Astarathian, one of the most powerful dragons in Avistan, has lived incognito in human guise in the Nidalese capital of Pangolais for centuries, where he feeds the hungry and provides what help he can offer to the less fortunate.2
History
Astarathian arrived in Pangolais in the middle 43rd century AR and has since adopted new human disguises every few decades. He takes great care in selecting a new cover identity and never assumes an identity as a family member of one of his previous incarnations. He has appeared only once in his true form in 4519 AR, flying over his adopted city in an event locals would name the Night of the Golden Moon.2
