Thoron is his true name, but he is better known to humans as The White Fatalis.  He is believed to be the ancestor of all dragons, and he is by far one of the most powerful dragons to have ever existed.  He is immortal.  Even if he is slain, skinned, and his hide and parts are crafted into armor and weapons, his spirit continues to live on, and his body will eventually fully regenerate, consuming whoever wore such armor or wielded such weapons in the process.
