When first spoken to by the Chosen upon their arrival in [[Zenithia]], the Zenith Dragon tells them that he is not the omnipotent "god" they may have hoped to meet. Though never implied to be a mortal being, the Zenithian Dragon is neither all-knowing nor all-powerful: he is a being with limitations and prejudices he learns to overcome for the sake of maintaining peace in the world. | When first spoken to by the [[Chosen Ones]] upon their arrival in [[Zenithia]], the Zenith Dragon tells them that he is not the omnipotent "god" they may have hoped to meet.

When introduced in {{IV}}, the Zenith Dragon is depicted as a stern authority figure that has no great affinity for humans and forbids his flock to descend to the realm below and commune with ground-dwellers. Though he insists on distancing himself from the world below on the principle of non-interference, the Zenith Dragon has stepped in to prevent world disasters beyond [[human]]ity's ability to cope in the past. | When introduced in {{IV}}, the Zenith Dragon is depicted as a stern authority figure that has no great affinity for humans and forbids his flock to descend to the realm below and commune with ground-dwellers.

The Zenith Dragon maintains a strict policy of non-interference with the mortal world below the floating castle, forbidding any of his people to descend and interact with humanity. This law has been violated twice in {{IV}}'s storyline, with the first incident resulting in death by lightning of the mortal man swoon by a zenithian woman. This man was undoubtedly the father of the {{Hero 4}}, though it is never explicitly stated that the Zenith Dragon himself executed him. | The Zenith Dragon maintains a strict policy of non-interference with the mortal world below the floating castle, forbidding any of his people to descend and interact with humanity.

In the intervening years he has grown weaker with age, and can not directly aid in the battle against [[Psaro the Manslayer]]. When the [[Chosen Ones]] first meet the Zenith Dragon in [[Zenithia]], he informs him of the situation, as [[Psaro the Manslayer]] is rapidly amassing power in [[Nadiria]]. He imbues the {{Zenithian sword}} with the power necessary to defeat {{Psaro B}} and shows the party the way into the underworld. | ||

Later, when the party finds the [[Dragon orb]] in [[Talon Tower]], they return to [[Zenithia]] to find the doctor being questioned by [[Zenithian]]s, who doubt the man's strange mannerisms and don't remember any of their race by the name of "Dr. Agon". He will ask for the [[Dragon orb]], which allows him to transform into his true form and regain the power he had lost in the many centuries since his battle with [[Estark]]. His very presence is now capable of preventing the minions of Grandmaster [[Nimzo]] from teleporting between the realms (as demonstrated by [[Ladja]]). | Later, when the party finds the [[Dragon orb]] in [[Talon Tower]], they return to [[Zenithia]] to find the doctor being questioned by [[Zenithian]]s, who doubt the man's strange mannerisms and don't remember any of their race by the name of "Dr. Agon".

Though the character does not directly appear in {{VI}}, it is strongly hinted that the large egg found in [[Cloudsgate Citadel]] is his own. The egg pulses with a ethereal energy when touched, and the caretaker states that what hatches from it will bring about miraculous changes in the world once it hatches. As [[Ashlynn]] remained behind in the citadel as it entered the real world during the dream world's vanishing, it is very much implied that she had a great influence on the dragon's upbringing. | Though the character does not directly appear in {{VI}}, it is strongly hinted that the large egg found in [[Cloudsgate Citadel]] is his own.
