Flame Drake was one of the most skilled Titled Rankers of the game who was aspiring to become one of the Godlike Players. The upcoming United Cup would be his chance to take that spot and earn himself a Godlike Title of his own.
Even at least the spot of being a Godlike Player was more than enough even if he could not get a title, especially when many rivals were participating in this major competition.
To acknowledge his efforts, he did everything he could in this current war between the major factions of the game. He had chosen the side of the Demonic Churches since they gave immediate boosts in stats once they converted their races into a Demon or at least into a Demonic Hybrid.
Flame Drake was once a Dire Naga Warrior, which was one of the newly unlocked races during the appearance of the Sky Island.
