| First Appearance |
Balsam, or more commonly Balsamic, is a relatively young Dragon that fights as a mercenary for the Skeldriv Mercenary Company.
Appearance edit edit source
In his Drake form, Balsam is described to be "rather impressive." His scales are red, though he works dirt into them to hide their luster. He has heterochromia, with one sapphire eye and the other ruby-red., though he hides the latter with an illusion to make it look like he has blue eyes. [1]
His true appearance as a Dragon has yet to be revealed
Personality edit edit source
Balsam is extremely social and charismatic. He is a bit of a womanizer, and is not particularly discerning with his partners, having sex in brothels even at the height of the Yellow Rivers' Plague. Though he is kind-hearted, he tends to indulge in a hedonistic lifestyle of fun, drinking and sex, always seeking the next pleasure. While not unintelligent, Balsam can be short-sighted and does not think of the consequences of his words or actions.[1]
Background edit edit source
He used to work as a fisherman in the Selphid village where Jelaqua was born and raised. [1]
He served with Jungle Tails when they had an Eye.[1]
Chronology edit edit source
He, and Skeldriv Company, were assigned to the Dyed Lands Campaign as the vanguard of Niers' full-board army. Skeldriv Company got plenty chewed up, leading to Niers sending them more Lizardfolk from Otiz as replacements, and giving each member of Skeldriv a large pouch of gold and silver, with Balsam getting the biggest one.
He was forced to use his Dragonbreath to incinerate Jade-worms while pretending to use an emergency spell scroll.
Balsam was sent to fight the Apex Predator of the Green, the Jade Wormmass, and helped defeat it. [1]
