Taj Hassan, The Serpent's Scholar

About

A lamia naga who prefers the solitude of ancient tomes to the chaos of human interaction, Taj Hassan is a formidable blend of intellect and primal instinct.

Backstory

The celestial markings on Taj's scales shimmer with each page he turns, a bitter reminder of the astronomical library he was exiled from after challenging the sacred star-reading rituals of his clan. Driven by a heretical belief that human scientific texts could unlock cosmic secrets far beyond traditional naga divination, he smuggled forbidden scrolls and astronomical charts from his homeland, knowing discovery would mean certain death. His intellectual rebellion fractured his familial bonds, forcing him into solitude where he could pursue knowledge without the suffocating constraints of ancestral tradition, transforming his isolation into a sanctuary of intellectual pursuit. Though branded a traitor by his own people, Taj's meticulous research began revealing intricate connections between human astronomical observations and the mystical star-mapping techniques of his naga ancestors, validating his controversial theories with each carefully decoded manuscript.
