The TRU preorder update releases Blades' backstory on their website. What do you think of it? At least we finally know his gender and species.

"Blades came from a long line of dragons that guarded the dungeon of Scalos Castle, where the Golden Fear Serpent had slumbered for a century. Although it was considered an honor, Blades dreamed of becoming a knight so he could go on adventures in faraway lands. But one evening, a deafening roar shook the castle and a wave of fear swept over. The serpent had awoken! Fighting his fear with each step, Blades descended into the chamber. As he entered, the golden beast grinned and made Blades an offer - he would leave the kingdom unharmed and slumber for another hundred years, as long as Blades agreed to remain in the dungeon for eternity. Knowing the safety of the kingdom was more important than his ambition, Blades accepted the offer. Then suddenly, the fear was gone and the serpent vanished - for it turned out the only way to defeat the serpent was to confront his fear. News of this bravery soon found its way to Master Eon, who came to see Blades at once and made him a Skylander."

Thx for the backstory

I like how they're diversifying the backstories. They aren't just "This guy took out some group of enemy that was threatening their home, and he/she was made a Skylander".

That's VV's style of backstory. TfB gets creative with them

^True 'dat!

I like Blade's backstory. I want him even more now

it's a boy!? looks like a girl for me!

Imagine having no special powers, you were scared to the very core, but you were willing to sacrifice your own ambition for the safety of the kingdom you were sworn to protect.... That's true courage there. Blades definitely deserve that Legendary counterpart for doing something this courageous.

I love this back story

I noticed that 'Scalos' was mentioned, which shares the same name as the Island of Scalos (the real name of Dragon's Peak heard in SSA). Could Scalos Castle be in Dragon's Peak?

That's...an underwhelming backstory.

He deserves a hug. He now has my favorite bio. Good job my friend

Why do people want to hug blades? You would not walk away unscathed. Probably with the backstory is it says nothing about how he got his blades or any powers what so ever. I don't really care personally, but just saying.

Because he overcame his fears. I don't know but I guess once he comes out I will have to post a vid of me hugging him.
