Description

This is another of my Family trees for characters in my Pirates of Zaldor story setting, similar to the one I did for the extended Vandris-Highshield-Wind family tree. This one is about Menson Redclaw's extended family tree. It goes for a few generations in both directions.

Talock the Red was powerful and swift Runner Zaurus, a type of Humanoid that resembled smaller Theropods, mostly Maniraptorans, small, swift running and feathered dinosaurs. Talock was based off a Dakotaraptor specifically, making him particularly large for a Runner Zaurus. A Powerful warrior in his tribe, Talock took on the monicker "The Red" from his brutal efficiency with his killing talon when hunting prey. Very large and imposing, he was the protector of his tribe and used brutal methods to intimidate those that would seek to do his tribe wrong.  He was very protective of his tribe, but otherwise had a reputation of being very vicious. Talock defied the conventions of his pack by choosing Phyrra Swiftstalker as his mate, a human afflicted with a form of Lycanthropy that makes her a Were-raptor. With her, they had a son named Syndos.

Phyrra Swiftstalker is an aboriginal tribe in central Zaldor that was effected by a rare form of Lycanthropy that let her change into a Dromaeosaur form. Both feared and revered by her tribe for her form and abilities, she eventually left her tribe and met with Talock the Red, a powerful member of a Runner Zaurus tribe and fell for this powerful warrior, who was equally impressed with her prowess as a warrior and hunter. Despite being drastically different species, they managed to sire a son named Syndos.  

Syndros the Red was a rare cross of Runner Zaurus and human Dromaeosaur lycanthrope, looking like an imposing Runner Zaurus much like his father.  Like his father, he became a brutal and powerful warrior, taking over as one of the main warriors and leaders of his tribe after his father's death, and like his father before him, used his fierce size and power to protect his people.
However, Syndos left his tribe when he was challenged for leadership by a smaller, fiercer and craftier young Zaurus, and so left the tribe in shame upon losing. Syndos journeyed into the Karridian island of Velera, where he settled down and married the Half-Dragon Barbessara and had a son named Menson, before being killed by a rogue Fire Dragon.

Adrian Bonecrusher was another rare human Dromaeosaur Lycanthrope, a settler who hid his affliction from his neighbours, living in secret with his transformative abilities. He eventually took up life as an explorer and a mercenary, eventually meeting the Hill Dragon Ginnora when she was in human form, having a brief tryst that resulted in the birth of a daughter named Barberessa. He never met his daughter, and instead lived and died the adventurer’s life.

Ginnora is a capricious and playful copper scaled Hill Dragon, raised in the hills of Central Zaldor. Inquisitive and prone to wanderlust, she used shapeshifting to take human form and explore the society of humanoids. She one day met the Human Dromaeosaur Lycanthrope Adrian bonecrusher and had a tryst, resulting in a daughter she named Barbessara. She raised Barbessara to adulthood without her father’s knowledge, and then took off to continue her life of exploration.

Barbessara is a Half Hill Dragon and half human dromaeosaur lycanthrope, making her heritage very unique. She has the scales of a dragon instead of a Dromaeosaur’s feathers in her hybrid and animal form as well as other features of a hill dragon like horns, spikes and wings. Barbessara lived her adult life on the island of Valera, where she eventually met the Half-human Zaurus warrior known as Syndos, eventually falling for him and having a son named Menon, before being killed by a rogue Fire Dragon during a rampage.

Menosn Redclaw is the son of Syndos the Red and Barbessara, and has a unique mix of Human, Dragon and Dromaeosaurid. He resembles a humanoid Dromaeosaur, but has the copper scales of his mother and grandmother instead of the feathers of a dinosaur, resembling a more cinematic and inaccurate depiction of a raptor. When he was very young, his parents were killed by a rogue Fire Dragon who was on a rampage, the young child surviving his parent’s tragic deaths, having never met them. He was instead taken in and raised by a tribe of Zeruin who lived near his destroyed home, being raised by the whole tribe. When Menson grew up, he learned of the fate of his birth parents at the hands of the rampaging Fire Dragon, and initially sought to hunt down and kill the rogue dragon. When he finally found the dragon, he was hopelessly outmatched, but before Menon could be killed, Menson was saved when the dragon was slain by the heroic Sky Dragon Syross, who then took the young Menson under his wing for a while, teaching him his own chivalrous code. Menson grew up and became a heroic knight and warrior priest of the benevolent dragon god Bahamut,  seeking to idealize the code of the dragon who saved his life and avenged his parents. Menson began his own pilgrimage to help others, but returned home when he learned of the death of Syross at the hands of another Fire Dragon. Menon then met Elia Darkeyes, the lover of Syndoss and mother of his child,The two eventually joined together as adventurers and joined up with the hero Arrda Highshield, becoming rebels to retake Arrda’s home kingdom of Vandriss from a vile usurper.It was on this journey that Menson met the Sea Dragon Aezenstar III, and eventually became her mate, havign a daughter named Talana with her.

Aezenstar II was a powerful Sea Dragon, and the granddaughter of Aezenstar the first, a powerful Sea Dragon that was the companion of  a group of Legendary heroes that supposedly ascended to godhood. Aezenstar was very unique for a Seadragon, as she was what is considered a ‘Spark’, possessing a rare magical gift giving her powerful magic of summoning, artifice and the ability to cross dimension and realities with ease. Being a Spark means she is also ageless, outliving even other long lived dragons.
Aezenstar II had many children over her life, but one of them was Arcenshore, a particularly brave and heroic son.

Acrenshore was a son of Aezenstar II, one of many children she had over the years. He was brave and had a heroic life of his own, though nothing of particular note to his name. He had a mate named Serentira, and with her, had a daughter named Aezenstar the III, named after his mother.

Serentira was a Sea Dragon and the mate of Arcenshore, and mother of Aezenstar III. Like her mate, she did not have any signifficant deeds  to her name, but was a kind, loving and protective mother to her children.  

Aezenstar III is the daughter of Arcenshore and Serentira, a brave and cunning Sea Dragon, trying to live up to the legacy of her grandmother and progenitor, and live up to the Aezenstar mantle. She took up the alias of  human sailor when in disguise, and took up with a group of rebels who were trying to free the nation of Vandriss from control of a tyrannical usurper, eventually revealing her true nature as a sea dragon. It was here she met and fell in love with Menon Redclaw, eventually marrying him after the rebellion succeeded and having a daughter named Talana.

Talana Redclaw is the daughter of Menson Redclaw and his wife, and is a cross between humanoid Dromaeosaur and Sea Dragon. Combining her father’s human heritage with her mother’s shapeshifting ability, her natural form is actually human, while her alternate form is a humanoid sea Dragon with some Dromaeosaur traits like raptor talons. She grew up at the Royal Vandriss Academy that her parent and their compatriots helped found, befriending and learning alongside the children of her parent’s allies in the rebellion. When she graduated the academy, she moved to the Outlands along the Karridian Gulf, and became the mate/wife of a male full Sea Dragon named Tsurrus. With him they had 3 offspring and adopted 2 more non-dragon children.

Tsurrus is a Sea Dragon who lives along the Kariddian Gulf in a region known as the Outlands, protecting the region around his lair from bandits and wandering monsters. He eventually met and fell in love with the Half-Sea Dragon Talana, and with her had 3 children and adopted 2 more.

Aezenstar “Star” Redclaw IV is the eldest daughter of Talana and Tsurrus. She is ¾ Sea Dragon and manifests the other ¼ as human. She is named after her grandmother and is a legacy of the Aezenstar title, though she prefers to be called Star for short. Her mixed heritage gives her mutlple forms she can shift into, but is limited compared to a full Sea Dragon, being able to shift into a human, hybrid dragon, small full dragon and the form of a jaguar. She is particularly protective of her adopted brother Matt, her training him since he was young, and the two go on a quest together when Matt is a  young adult to help protect the Ouland region from the threat of the rampaging Titan Orkon.

Syross Redclaw is the only son and middle child of Talana and Tsurris, named after his grandfather’s hero and mentor, the Sky Dragon Syross. Like his sisters, he is ¾ Sea Dragon and manifests the other ¼ as human. Like his sisters, he can take on many forms, his animal form being a shark. When Syross reached maturity, he left his home when his adopted siblings were still young, taking up the mantle of a wandering hero dragon much like his namesake, patrolling all along the coast of the Gulf, well beyond the borders of his lair.

Barbessara “Barbie” Redclaw is the youngest daughter of Talana and Tsurrus, being much younger than her older siblings and closer in age to both of  her adopted siblings. She is named after her paternal great-grandmother, but is called Barbie by her siblings. Her animal form is a wild horse. She is friendly, inquisitive and loves to play with her siblings. She is still young for a dragon when her older siblings go on a journey, still under her mother’s care at the time.

Maddie Redclaw is the adopted daughter of Talana and Tsurrus, and is a Naiad water nymph. Found as a  young infant abandoned in the rolling sea, Talana took her in and began to raise her as one of her own children. Maddie grew to be a friendly and caring individual, being very close with her siblings, being far kinder than the capricious and dispassionate nature normally associated with Water Nymphs. Maddie became a protector of the lagoon around her parents lair, helping protect it and those who live in it from harm.

Matt Redclaw is the adopted human son of Talana and Tsurrus, raised by the dragons after his birth parents where killed during a mysterious disaster. Raised among dragons, Matt was mentored by his oldest sister Star, training to be an adventurer. When he was older, he acquired technology from the artificer Anton Strong, gaining high tech, lightweight armour and advanced firearms. As he grew up, he eventually developed the ability to shift into wolf and draconic forms he inherited from his birth parents.

Uxir Highshield is the only son of of Jarrod Highshield and Ellana Wind. He is named after Uxir, a hero from ancient myth in Zaldor. Uxir aspires to be every bit of the heroic knight he was named after, and so tutors to be a holy knight under Meson Redclaw. He pushes himself hard to be the best knight he can be, but like many courageous knights, he learns the hard way that being a true knight is not something you can learn in the classroom, it is a quality you must discover within yourself. He eventually marries a woman named Sandira Sylias, and with her, they have a son named Mason, named after his mentor Menson.

Sandira Sylias is woman and mage who attended the royal Vandriss academy alongside Talana and others, meeting Uxir Highshield then and marrying him after graduation. She is ¼ Golden Dragon on her mother's side, and manifests with cat-like eyes, sharpened teeth, tiny horns, clawed digits and scales along her arms and hands. She uses her draconic heritage to manifest powerful sorcery, becoming an adventurer alongside her knight husband, and with him, had a son named Mason.

Mason Highshield is the son of Uxir Highshield and his wife Sandira, named after his father’s mentor knight Menson. Like his father, he trained to be a knight, getting some training and advice from his father’s mentor Menson in his twilight years. A Brave knight like his father, he met and married the human werewolf Viorra Graytooth, having a son with her named Matt. They both perished in a mysterious disaster, their son surviving and being raised by Talana Redclaw the daughter of his father’s menor and namesake.

Viorra Graytooth is a female human werewolf and a Ranger who explored the outlands, putting her shapeshifting heritage to good use as an adventurer. She met the knight Mason Highshield on his journeys, fell in love and married him, having a son named Matt. She was killed alongside her husband during a mysterious disaster that destroyed her home and community, living her orphaned son Matt to be raised by adoptive parents.
