Velius Flynn, commonly referred to as Flynn is a Viking boy and born to a rather small tribe called The Tinkerers, who were largely wiped out during a pillage on their main homeland and were forced to move to a much smaller location with reduced numbers. He bonded with Shimmer after a chance encounter with her, leading to the two bonding over time and becoming Velius's dragon mount. The pair explore the world in hope of finding critical advancements to help his people rebuild their society. During his journey, he met Sigrid Henderson and helped her escape from her tribe, the Stormchasers, who were pursuing her. She stayed with him and they became traveling partners and eventually married.
