Tavlado Bloom grew up as an orphan with golden scales covering his body. Learing to disguise self early to hide his scales he was sold to/adopted by a blacksmith who needed an apprentice.
He crushed hard on the daughter of a local magistrate, often doing work for her father. But turns out she was gay.
Tavlando it turns out was a rather middling smith. Never having the aptitude to create anything of note.
Lacking any willpower to devolpe his innate magical potential, he seemed destined for a life of mediocrity and dissapointment, untill the merciful arm of the Nautiloid scooped him up.
