![[image-7 4.png]] # Anaxaster _Adult Blue Dragon Spymaster | [[Hidden Storm]] | [[Sword Coast]]_ ## Summary The calculated first son of [[Iymrith]], serving as his mother's chief intelligence gatherer. Combines tactical genius with cruel efficiency while nursing a barely contained rivalry with his more impulsive brother [[Chezzaran]]. His intelligence network spans the Sword Coast and Underdark, employing kobolds, yuan-ti, and corrupted humanoids who fear his calculated cruelty. %% ## At a Glance Sleek blue scales with midnight-blue underbelly, slightly smaller than typical blue dragons his age. Unusually intense electric-yellow eyes that seem to dissect everything they observe. Speaks in a smooth, deliberate tone with precise enunciation. Habitually pauses before answering to analyze all possible responses. Calculating, meticulous, coldly ambitious with a penchant for psychological warfare. Collects small trophies from significant enemies in an organized "archive." ## Personality Unlike his brother's direct approach, Anaxaster prefers to study targets extensively before striking, using elaborate schemes to destroy enemies from within. Secretly cultivating his own spy network separate from Iymrith's. Recognizes his mother's obsession sometimes clouds her judgment. Craves the recognition Chezzaran received for direct action. Though outwardly loyal to Iymrith's cause of avenging the Azure Storm and claiming the Wyrmskull Throne, he harbors quiet ambitions about how the family's legacy might continue under his more methodical leadership. ## Quote _"Information precedes victory; only fools strike without first knowing their enemy's every weakness."_ ## Stats **Adult Blue Dragon** (MM 91).
