History[]
N'than was born at an unknown point into a village of Earthblood Elves in the Drakewood. He longed to become a Drakerider like the rest of his people,[1] but lacking the confidence to capture a dragon on his own. N'than learned the secrets of Umber Tor growing up, and he was also told that outsiders were dangerous and untrustworthy.[2]
Second Saga[]
As part of the Drakeriders of the Drakewood, N'than was originally readying to learn the art of dragon-trapping from Warlon.[1] When Azymondias was shot from the sky by said riders, N'than initially wanted to claim the dragonling as his mount, but chose to free and return the Dragon Prince to Team Zym before becoming their guide into Umber Tor.[2] N'than was able to successfully lead Team Zym through the three "Zones of Peril" inside the mountain that led to the lair of Rex Igneous.[3] However, he was ambushed by Claudia's group together with the others.[4] Forced to escape, N'than managed to survive with the others when the rubble of the Great Gates of Umber Tor cleared, and Zubeia arrived to force Rex Igneous to retreat into the mountain.[5]
N'than was among the crowd that celebrated the construction of the city of Evrkynd.[6]
Book Four - Earth[]
The Great Gates[]
N'than is hiding behind a rock as Warlon teaches him on how to catch a dragon with a bola, and the dragon that he is confronting in the clearing is an aggressive individual called Scarmaker. However, Soren jumps in to protect the dragon and wins the fight after he used a gourd to smack Warlon in the face and knocking him out. N'than chooses to flee the area as the other Earthblood Elves arrive to capture Scarmaker and Soren before throwing them into the Pit of Despair.
The Drakewood[]
N'than witnesses Warlon and the other Drakeriders capturing Azymondias. As Callum conjures a bank of fog to hide Zym from the Drakeriders, N'than uses a glowing crystal to light the way. N'than eventually finds Zym before he is confronted by the rest of Team Zym. N'than explains that he must capture his own dragon to become a Drakerider and deflates when he reveals his inability to tame one. When Ezran reveals that Zym is the Prince of the Dragons, N'than introduces himself with an apologetic bow and offers himself as food to make up for his mistake. Zym quickly accepts N'than's apology and starts to play with him. Once N'than and Team Zym converse about their mission to meet Rex Igneous and find Soren, N'than volunteers to become their guide since the Pit of Despair acts as a secondary entrance to Rex's lair in Umber Tor.
Beneath the Surface[]
As N'than and Team Zym venture into Umber Tor, he informs them about the three "Zones of Peril" that they need to survive through before reaching the lair of Rex Igneous, and that once they have reached Rex's lair, they must prepare worthy gifts if they wish to please the Archdragon of the Earth. The first Zone of Peril is a massive crystalline labyrinth teeming with magical gems, and that they need to use the musical sounds produced by tuning crystals to navigate their way to the exit. During their trek, Callum grabs a Moon Opal, which N'than describes as the prettiest of the gems.
Once Team Zym has left the Crystal Labyrinth, they enter the second Zone of Peril that takes the form of a narrow bridge that stretches across a pitch-black abyss. N'than also advises them to extinguish every source of light so that they will not draw the attention of the zone's hostile creatures. However, Bait panics and emits a bright light that gives everyone's positions away to the creatures. N'than then tells everyone to run across the bridge before more of the creatures begin to surround them. Knowing that there is only one thing he can do, Zym emits a large amount of electricity to lure the creatures into the abyss. Just as N'than and everyone else believe that Zym sacrificed himself, the Dragon Prince returns and is applauded for his heroism as they escape the zone.
N'than and Team Zym finally reach the third and final Zone of Peril, which is a massive chamber filled with lava. N'than explains that since the lava ebbs and flows like the tides, they can simply wait for a few hours for a rock bridge to emerge after the lava has receded. However, the intense heat makes it difficult for Team Zym to rest and Callum comes up with the solution by creating a breeze-dome that cools them down and allows them to sleep comfortably. After a few hours, the lava has receded and N'than guides Team Zym through the rock bridge that leads them to the lair of Rex Igneous.
Rex Igneous[]
As N'than and Team Zym are about to enter Rex Igneous's lair, they are halted by Zym who tells them about how his father Avizandum was an old rival of Rex and that his presence might enrage the Archdragon of the Earth. N'than and Callum immediately remembers the Moon Opal that they took from the Crystal Labyrinth, which allows Rayla to cast a spell that disguises Zym as a dog. N'than then reminds Team Zym about how they must bring gifts that Rex should like if they wish to seek audience with him and survive their whole adventure, which worries them since they did not have anything to present.
N'than and Team Zym soon find themselves deep inside the lair of Rex Igneous, but Rex himself is absent. Just as N'than believes that they came at a bad time, Rex Igneous emerges from the lair's pool. N'than humbly presents himself to the Archdragon as Team Zym's guide and informs him to give them a chance despite their lack of gifts. Rayla, Callum, Ezran create the opportunity of giving Rex Igneous their valued possessions: Rayla's blades, Callum's staff, and Ezran's crown. However, Rex Igneous has grown bored of guests and gifts, so he decides to kill everyone. N'than then witnesses everything that unfold after the revelation: Ezran impressing Rex with Barius's brown sludge tarts, Rex giving Zym his condolences for Avizandum's death, and Callum deducing that Rex is in possession of the map of Aaravos's prison. Suddenly, Claudia enters the lair and performs a spell that puts everyone except for Zym to sleep.
Escape from Umber Tor[]
N'than is awakened from his sleep when Rayla forced Rex Igneous to wake up by with a stab from her blade. Rex's rage begins to force rocks to fall from the lair's ceiling as N'than leads Team Zym out from the lair and into the Great Gates that have been blocked by rubbles while Rayla goes off on her own with Stella to kill the resurrected Viren. They eventually force the Great Gates to open and successfully escape Umber Tor, only for Rex Igneous to burst through and corners them. Before Rex Igneous can kill N'than and Team Zym, Zubeia descends from the sky and intimidates the Archdragon of the Earth to retreat back into Umber Tor. Rayla and Stella eventually emerge from the rubble, which allows N'than and the rest of Team Zym to welcome them back with a group hug.Book Seven - Dark[]
