The name's Murtagh and I'm a Dragon Rider,Oh that got your attention did it? Then listen up and you might just learn something.
I was born to a bastard of a father named Morzan and a kind hearted mother in the castle hidden away from everyone but the king. Growing up with my father was harsh to say the least and I won't go into detail but all you need to know is that he almost tore me apart at the age of 3 when he threw his sword at me in a drunken rage and now I bare the scar on my back for all to see...a constraint reminder of a man I hated until the very day he was killed by Brom.
My mother left me alone with that man when I was slightly older and no one knows where to but I later found out that she had a son from another man,my younger half brother Eragon. I worked for the king but when i relized what he was doing I ran away and that's when I ran into my Dragon Rider little brother Eragon and took him to see the rebels known as the Varden.
I was arrested for being the son of Morzan and working for the king but then when the Shade known as Durza was sent to destroy the village I got free and helped Eragon and the rebels fight them off.
I never did get to see the end of that battle and was taken back to the king who spoke my true name..my Elfish name and in that moment he had me under his power and when he was sure I was trully his he gave me a dragon egg and when it hatched I became his Dragon Rider and his best warrior/assasin with my red dragon named Thorn.
Of course the intention of the king was that I capture Eragon's dragon Saphira and have Thoen and her mare but lucky for us that never happened. Any way the next time I saw my brother Eragon I almost killed him taking back my father's sword from him and in my hands the sword became red bladed with a red ruby in it's center.
Unlike my brother I have no limits to my spells and they don't knock me out because I had the king himself teach me who was a powerful Dragon Rider himself. I had many more encounters with my brother after that and everytime I beat him in combat but eventually I was freed of the king's power and left to find my own path in life with Thorn by my side.
