Symbol

The Dragoon Knights, who have adopted Bendash's fighting style described in legend, also bear his symbol: a regal-looking dragon in flight with wings spread and tail extended.

Works

Together with Deniss, Bendash is attributed with the creation of the race of dragons. All dragons of good disposition revere him, and it is said that more than one very old dragon claims to have fought alongside him.

Description

Bendash is traditionally held as a handsome man with dragon-like features. Among them include dragon's eyes, fangs, and long, reptilian wings clasped at the claw and worn like a cape. He also is said to have black hair, the length of which is often disputed. He is either depicted in mail made from dragon scales or simple robes, but always wearing red. Stories relay his jovial disposition and confident nature. He is also said to wield a shining glaive and strikes with it in hand, falling like lightning from the sky.

He is associated with the lion, a beast of bravery and stateliness.
