Knight Davion is known to show mercy to foes that he believes have suffered enough, although his mercy comes in the form of death.Once Sir Davion has engaged himself in battle, he will commit to it until it has ended, never stowing away his sword until he has drawn blood with it.Apparently, he lets his foes know that it was him who killed them by showing his face to their dying eyes, probably implying he doesn't condone backstabbery.An honorable combatant, Sir Davion takes it upon himself to tell his opponent they fought and died with honor.Sir Davion sometimes invokes the honor of the “ancients” in battle, perhaps to show his respect to these mysterious entities.Many are the practices that Knight Davion exercises to display courtesy and honor to his opponent, even in the most chaotic and savage battlefields.The source of Sir Davion's unique nobility is the fusion of the Eldwurms' vast wisdom with his own valor as an ageless knight.After slaying him in battle, Sir Davion was rewarded the Wyrm Helm of Uldorak (among other gifts) by the newly crowned and relieved King Tansis XIII. Confident that Candoness will never oppose him, Uldorak was caught by surprise when Sir Davion ambushed him. But Dowager Queen Tansis XII no longer suffered his tyranny and thus summoned Sir Davion to ambush Uldorak on the coronation day of her son Tansis XIII. Ever since, the people of Candoness were cowed by the dragon and submitted for 12 generations of the Candonite royal family. Long ago, in the kingdom of Candoness, Uldorak fell upon the kingdom every time the Candonite Crown was passed to demand tribute in the form of gold and magic trinkets. Many years before his meeting with Slyrak, Sir Davion fought the tyrannical Time-Dragon Uldorak. Or perhaps it is the Dragon that calls the Knight… Battle against Uldorak The ancient power slumbers in the Dragon Knight Davion, waking when he calls it. The dragon's death sealed their bond and Dragon Knight was born. As their blood mingled, Slyrak sent his power out along the Blood Route, sending all its strength and centuries of wisdom to the knight. Davion agreed, and found himself rewarded beyond expectation for his act of mercy: As he sank his blade in Slyrak's breast, the dragon pierced Davion's throat with a talon. But a voice crept into his thoughts, and Slyrak gave a whispered plea that Davion might honor him with death in combat. Seeing no honor to be gained in dragon-murder, Knight Davion prepared to turn away and leave his old foe to die in peace. After years on the trail of a legendary Eldwurm, the Knight Davion found himself facing a disappointing foe: the dreaded Slyrak had grown ancient and frail, its wings tattered, its few remaining scales stricken with scale-rot, its fangs ground to nubs, and its fire-gouts no more threatening than a pack of wet matchsticks.
