	At the age of 62, Colby still appeared ~~very~~ young and slight. With his programs to improve the city failing, he began to walk the streets at night.

	He harrassed the various street gangs as a faceless nightstalker, seldom revealing his face and never calling on the authority of his station. One particular evening, he was cornered in an old warehouse by a large group of criminals. He had broken in to destroy a large shipment of illegal narcotics, and when they cornered him, one witness said "He simply threw back his hood and ordered them all to stand down. None recognized him, so they mockingly asked under ~~who's~~ authority they were to stand down. He merely smiled, and drew the sword".

Colby was the first [[Pendragon]] to carry the sword during the [[Golden Age of the Slayer Dragons]], though historians would later place the begining of the era some two years before he took up the sword.

==Early Life==
Colby was born on the [[Agras Plane]] to a simple farming community who's name has since been lost to history. At the age of ten his family brought him to [[Arindell]] so that he could begin training for the [[trials]].

At the age of 17, having already completed many of the requirments to be annointed as a full-fledged [[Slayer Dragon]](though not many of the later, more difficult challenges) he became [[Squire Dragon]] to [[Saures Velt]], the main candidate to replace the then-carrying Pendragon [[Landon Aldis]]. Saures would die of an illness before taking up the sword, leaving his protesie, Colby, to become Pendragon in his place.

==Annointment and Time as Slayer Dragon==
Annointed at the age of 30, Colby was generally well-liked among the people of [[Arindell]], but had a reputation for being somewhat rambunctous and quick to act. While slow-tempered, he was always fast to respond. Energetic was the term often applied to him.

He spent only 7 years as a [[Slayer Dragon]] but earned quite a reputation in battle non the less. His small frame and generally slight build led opponents to doubt his rather remarkable agility and speed.

==As Pendragon==
In [[A.Y.]] 1300, Colby was officially annointed as the 11th Pendragon of Slayer Dragons, though he had fulfilled the role for some years to help the aging [[Landon Aldis]]. Colby even carried the sword in certain ceremonial functions.

Colby would carry the sword for 25 years and fight in many more battles, redefining the role of Pendragon from military leader to front-line combatant.
