"This Island. It does things to you. It absorbs you."
Presidith was a cowardly red dragon who was raised on the island of Kiston in the early BR era. He was named by Mathias Edgar La Croix, Jr. after being rescued by him and his friends. His name means Hope in Draconic.
About
Gymir would call Presidith Mini-Ven.
Part of Presidith's ongoing fear related to his nightmares about The Big Hole, a space in the Crystal City where dragon bodies were fed to the World Breaker.
Because of his ongoing fear and trauma, Presidith never left the island of Kiston, and was largely unaware of the joys in the outside world until Eldrina's familiar Kragnux showed telepathic glimpses of the world to Presidith. As a result, despite feeling Tiamat's urges to fight, Presidith stayed behind and never saw much war, in essence keeping him from becoming an "evil" red dragon like many others on the island.
History
When Presidith was a baby, he was stolen by Draco-Orcs in the name of Jatil Jivelg in a power move meant to give Jatil a card to hold over the powerful royal Red dragons of the island. However, Jatil was too late to claim his prize, appearing only hours after The Venship had already conquered the Draco-Orcs, stealing the baby Presidith from their cave, and running into the woods with the baby successfully reverse-kidnapped.
At some point in the intervening time, Presidith became friends with Bosworth.
Presidith was the first dragon to see The Fated Five after their arrival on the island of Kiston, having been sent by Jatil to chase the descendants based on smell alone. Being one of the few dragons who became intimately familiar with their bloodline's scent, Presidith was the perfect dragon to find them. Being a bit slower, Presidith also didn't realize that the descendants WEREN'T the original 5 who saved his life as a baby.
When Jatil followed up, Presidith lied to him, not admitting he had found the Descendants. But Jatil saw through his lies and later (off-screen) pinned him down and got the truth. He then turned Presidith loose to go find the Fated Five again, and that in the mean time he's going to go to the Crystal Caves and wait there to see if they show up. In the mean time he turned the rest of the island against Presidith, telling them to look out for Presidith and 5 individuals.
Presidith helped escort the Fated Five low through the jungles in an attempt to escort them to The Crystal City, also secretly leading them to Jatil.
