Eye of the Eagle

Eye of the Eagle is a Lesser Elemental Dragon of Water, god of Squalls and Taisho of the Month of Descending Water in the Bureau of Seasons. In appearance Eye of the Eagle is a man clad in ancient armour, or a long dragon whose body is covered in slick, oily feathers and is borne by giant wings, in either case with the head and beak of a raptor, whose eyes offer a piercing gaze to any who cross their path.

In the wake of the Primordial War, when there was little respect for Elementals, the Thunderbird Eye of the Eagle ascended to become a Lesser Elemental Dragon. Proud and powerful, Eye of the Eagle faced the dismissive arrogance of the Gods and stood his ground… the spirits of Heaven determined to punish his impudence and smote him down, though he struggled to resist them, until he was on the verge of destruction.

At that moment, a Terrestrial Exalt of the Water Aspect came upon the scene and stood over him, fending off the divine assailants and helping the wounded elemental limp away. At that moment, Eye of the Eagle swore an oath of gratitude, one that he has honoured ever since even as times changed, the Lesser Dragons were accepted into the ranks of the gods, and Dragonblooded generations rose and fell.

Very rare amongst Elemental Dragons, Eye of the Eagle will respond personally to the call of summoners. While he will always send a subordinate in his place for any other, if that summoner is a Dragonblood of the Aspect of Danaa’d then the dragon will appear himself to serve, without the need for binding. He is, of course, a powerful being, and will make his displeasure known at assignments he considers beneath his station, but most Water Aspects who know enough to call for him do so showing proper respect, either to consult the elder elemental on matters of divine politics and weather in Creation, or to join them in glorious battle… Eye of the Eagle fought beside summoners against the Solar Exalted during the Usurpation, and for various Water-aspected Daimyo of the Shogunate Era, and though his superiors have sometimes threatened censure he has never expressed regret.
