Biography
Orion was born in Denmark, to his parents, the dragon king Cephyiss and the dragon queen Oryon.

At some point, he was integrated into the Celestial Order to be a life-long guardian and companion to the future generations of Celestial Sorcerers/Knights. When he was three years old, Orion was one of many dragons selected as a potential candidate for this position amidst Enchanter rank members (traditionally) who become 12 or 14 years old, he rejected many young members of the Celestial Order as his charge, due to the fact that none of them exhibited the qualities and calibre he was searching for, however, when a particular Enchanter rank member named Aaron approached him, he felt an instantaneous and remarkable inclination towards the boy who bore a mysterious spark in his eyes; and Orion realized then that this boy had the potential to become a great wizard and warrior.

When Orion allowed the human-merman hybrid to place the ornamental saddle on his back; it was a sign that he has chosen the latter as his rider and since then Orion and Aaron delved into many adventures together and became almost inseparable (along with Aaron's other friends; Edge, Kaien and Breaker respectively) as the two have become best friends over the years.

However, despite the prince of Denmark becoming one of most powerful magic users and warriors of the Celestial Order; Aaron has always treated Orion with the honor and respect he deserved, as he not only sees the light dragon as his protector and travel companion, but also as a loyal and trusted friend and comrade.
