He’s spent his life pursuing a successful business career, and the subs he dominates almost never enjoy the kiss of his leather twice.

Despite the suspicions Mother Dragon shared with Celestrian before her death, he may be the last surviving unicorn of Vrelenden—though most may simply think him some crazy person with a horn attached to his forehead.
