DISADVANTAGES

Defect: Cold-Blooded
-As a reptile, Taarvan's agility and reflexes are slowed when in cold regions
-Conversely, in hot regions, his abilities are enhanced, but not by nearly as much as the cold slows them down

Defect: Combat Minimalist
-Though he can wield the serpentine dagger, his preference to avoidance of fighting leads to him being weak offensively, and it is mostly used to ward off attacks
-Taarvan will choose to avoid combat if at all possible, and if he must fight will often hang out in the back of the melee
-Might annoy his allies a little . . .

Defect: Over-analysis
-though he has a sharp mind, he tends to over-think certain situations

The Lizard's Past . . .

Taarvan does not want many to know of his recent defeat, but regardless, it is there.

At one time, he was the Nkidrazil, the leader of a Dinolfos tribe that made its home in the mountains beside Parapa Desert. He gained this position through fighting, but he himself is not a big fan of warfare. His style of studying his opponents in battle and quietly allowing them to tire themselves out before striking never failed, and allowed him to obtain a perfect record - in what fights he did participate in, he was always the victor.

Then, one day, a lowly Dinolfos named Coragoth somehow defeated even this tried and true strategy with a power never before accessed by their kind. A coup d'etat erupted, ending with Taarvan's imprisonment and Coragoth's ascension to power. But only a few of his kind believed in Coragoth; on the night before he was to be executed, many Dinolfos secretly aided in Taarvan's escape. He was only able to grab the symbolic dagger of the Nkidrazil, a curving blade with a handle made in the image of a snake, known as the Serpentine Dagger, before he was forced to flee.

He made his way to civilization, obtaining a black cloak from a traveler along the way, and eventually entered Hyrule's North Castle . . .
