Vrael
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vrael is the deceased leader of the dragon riders in Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Trilogy.
[edit] History
In the fictional world of Alagaësia, Vrael was the last leader of the Dragon Riders when the downfall of the Riders came to pass. His earliest predecessor (as the Riders' leader) was the elf Eragon who had a white dragon and who lived many centuries ago. His immediate predecessor was the elf Rider, Anurin.
Apart from that, not much is known about Vrael, except that he was one of the last Riders (apart from Brom and Oromis) to escape from the madness of Galbatorix. He was the only Rider who could fight Galbatorix and the Forsworn (a band of Dragon Riders corrupted by Galbatorix), but he lost his powers and fled to recover (it is unclear if Vrael's dragon was still alive at this time). However, after Galbatorix defeated the elven armies he sought out a much weakened Vrael and did battle with him. However, Galbatorix kicked Vrael in the "fork of the legs", giving him an advantage, and beheaded him.
