25 tonnes.

The inner glow of Shafiq's emerald green eyes has faded with age and his vision is not what it used to be.
Other Features

A towering serpent with pearly scales, immense tattered wings, and a fanning crest of pale feathers growing at the back of his leonine head. His once great frame has been made squalid with age, his curved talons are overgrown with disuse, his crown of horns is overgrown and little bent, certainly unbalanced, and his once muscular tail is now almost skeletal. Even the inner glow of his emerald eyes seems to be fading away. But all in all the old dragon still has that spring in his step like a younger specimen.

Social Interactions

Relationships and Companions

Shafiq is so old he has connections with pretty much every museum, every antique dealer, and every gypsy... for generations! Although of course none of them have dealt with him in person in many ages. He is known as The Curator or the Mysterious benefactor for his generous contributions of monetary, historical and archeological nature, often funding expeditions to faraway places in search of art. But amusingly, since no one deals with him directly but through his ghostly minions, those who have seen the white dragon believe him but a guardian of the much mystified Curator.

Shafiq has twelve ghost companions that help him take care of his museum-cave and help him trade and acquire new pieces for his gallery. It is unclear how he got them as the story he tells about them seems different every time and the ghosts never seem to contradict him out of, amusement, it seems.

Personality

In one word, nostalgia. Maybe out of denial or his failing memory Shafiq is obsessed by a mythical and embellished past that never was. Like any old timer he will often go into lengthy rants about how everything was supposedly better in times long gone... Fortunately for you, if he has a skill it is that of telling a story. Also he may forget his own name, addresses, and what year is it at times, but he knows every piece of his collection to heart and if asked he can tell you the most bizarre details off the top of his head were he a scaly walking textbook.

Shafiq might seem like a menacing beast but he is actually very sociable and although he incurs into the sin of talking in excess he loves listening to the odd visitor he gets once in a blue moon. Usually thieves. It seems that the old dragon knows every trick in the book and none has managed to surprise him yet. Shafiq will play a game of cat and mouse with the intruder and once they have spoken enough he invites them to a cup of tea... It seems to work every time. Afterwards he will usually let them go with a gift that is often worth much more than the original trinket they were trying to pilfer since the dragon knows he will outlive them anyway and just buy it back once they pawn it off for a fraction of its real price!

History

Shafiq is very old. He has done lots of things. He doesn't remember many of the things he has done. But one day while flying home he came upon an ivory statue of himself as the centerpiece of some muddy stickpicker village. Shafiq thought about eating everybody and taking it, but, deciding that would discourage future masterpieces the dragon came down to bargain with the village elders instead... It took a while for them to understand each other but eventually he got it for the low price of two wooly mammoths... yes he did get ripped off... but it didn't matter, it was the start of something great it was the very first item in his collection!
