Pleonexia

In a spell conjured by Lexa, former Queen of the Melohn, many young dragons have been imbued with the energy and power of the all powerful Arenji. After a deadly and dangerous ritual, previously colorful and beautiful dragons' pelts and scales were consumed by a darkness that went straight to their core. Seeing these shadowed monsters, Arenji then wrote across their flanks in glowing runes to signify their power. Now they are soldiers of Arenji, here to serve and protect as well as spread the word of Arenji to new clans.

While most of the Melohn's children are taught to blend in, The Chosen children go through a different sort of training. With enhanced strength and speed they prove themselves to be capable of great feats and often go on to participate in massive battles where they turn out victorious. With their ability to manipulate and walk through the shadows, they also have proven adept at stealth missions, making this species the ultimate soldier and the perfect assasin to infiltrate or aid any clan. With little to no moral code other than the will of Arenji, they can do what must be done.

Pleonexia : "the insatiable desire to have what rightfully belongs to others" "ruthless self-seeking and an arrogant assumption that others and things exist for one's own benefit"

Being a Plague clan, where evolution and mutation are thought of very highly, the transformation of Baldwin was looked upon with great interest. After all, it took a weak old dragon, and made them bigger, stronger, and more energetic(and younger apparently!). So it was with great interest that they kidnapped searched out a few candidates to test this upon, and see the mettle of these creatures. See just how useful these things would be to them.

The first of the candidates, already glowing, would be perfect to spatter with the strange cauldron substance. This obviously was a great idea and could only go well.
