Ataro is a shadow dragon or undead dragon, referred to as "a dragon of death", who reached out to aid the celestial Acastriel in the rebellion of the celestial ranks against the gods when many of them were absent infiltrating Aeor during the late Calamity.[1] As an NPC, Ataro is played by Brennan Lee Mulligan.
Biography[]
"Downfall: Part Three" (3x101)[]
Ataro was first seen standing on the top of the Factorum Malleus along with several other of the defending mages. During the battle, he leaped down, transforming into a shadow dragon in the air, and engaged in battle with the mortal avatars of the gods, effectively utilizing his Frightful Presence and Shadow Breath. However, he was very badly wounded by SILAHA's Meteor Swarm, and killed by Ayden's Sunburst.
