The Man in the Black Armour

A central character in Sister Che's backstory frame work. Later tied in with Patrick Mullard.

It seems he has been following the party's movements and testing them by setting his lesser henchmen against them along the way.

Whilst hunting down the Dragons that had been terrorising Springview periodically after their last brutal attack on the town it was discovered that they also called the man in black armour master, and had become increasingly hard to control. The Man ofered the party their position if they came to his stronghold and bested them in combat.

The Party were a little side tracked hunting down giants at the time on a different part of The Eastern Continent, and the dragons grew impatient defying their masters orders and rushing in for what they hoped would be a swift and brutal final attack on their new rivals.

The arrogance of the Dragon displeased their master, who had devised the whole plan as a way for the dragons to prove their ability to devise devious and cunning strategies and not just their ability to apply brute force and cause terror. Realising what they had done the man in black mounted his giant ancient red dragon mount ( that dwarfed the other dragons) and flew to the location of the party (their whereabouts already known ot him).

Of course the three younger dragons had the party at a huge disadvantage, all they needed to do was fly out of weapons range and then swoop in to breath fire on them periodically until BBQed to death. The man in black forbade this, healed the party up to full, provided them with dragonbane weapons and declared that whoever won the fight would be his new highest ranked lieutenants.

The party won the man in black took back his weapons and told them to meet him in his stronghold when they were ready to start work.
