Draconic Knight Aesop Cornelius Fatebreaker (a.k.a. Nightingale, Sop)
Aesop is a 18-year-old shadow and is the adoptive brother of Ferro Fatebreaker. Raised on the streets as an orphan he had been only out for himself until he met Hatthew and hatched his little brother from his egg. He now tries to live up to their legacy as a Draconic Knight. He commands shadow magic, a mysterious power from another realm and wields the Fatebreaker heirloom sword, Sharpsong. While skilled, he is far from completing his training to become the next Draconic Knight and earn the right to call himself the hero his brother looks up to.
Aesop is a straightforward person that often kept to himself. However, he does have a temper that can lead to outbursts. He prefers actions over words mainly because he isn't good with talking to begin with. He tries to mask his emotions to look like a strong support for his brother and others but it also makes it tougher for him to handle situations when they pile up on him. When it comes to his brother he is very protective of him but always tries to teach him how to be more self-reliant, worried about anything happening to Ferro.
Before the Riots happened, Aesop was the songwriter and drummer of The Renegades, which is also made up of Ferro, and their childhood friends Sienna and Gwyn LaCroix. Sop was a part of many athletic teams, but he often quit or was kicked out due to his behavior, though he is a constant stay at the high school art club.

Mental characteristics
From what he can remember he was dropped off at an orphanage in Chicago and has been raised there. He among the fellow kids he was strangely already developing his magical abilities at an earlier age and the powers in question were stranger then many others that weren't able to figure them out. This had lead to him being a bit of an outsider among the children as well as some of the adults. However there was one group of kids that excepted him for his uniqueness that had been calling themselves the Rat Pack.
Personality Characteristics
He enjoys music, especially rap, R&B, and some jazz, and he loves graffiti art, using his abilities to get to all untouched areas to tag.
His biggest pet peeve is when people touch his hair.
While he leaves his room and art station a complete mess, he maintains very good care of his body with daily workouts and healthy eating. He's very protective of his hair and takes very good care of it.
Social
Graffiti/Painting, playing the drums, freerunning

History
When Aesop broke into the Fatebreaker household looking for food, he wasn't expecting to find a mysterious black rock with blue arrowhead patterns across it. Upon touching this rock, a black mark appeared on his shoulder and the rock began to crack open. Inside was a baby dragon with black scales, and a presence pressed into Aesop's mind. Freaked out, the boy tried to run, only for the dragon to follow. He was eventually caught by Hatthew as he returned home. Upon seeing that the egg had hatched, and finding out Aesop was an orphan, Hatthew offered to adopt the boy.
At first, Aesop did not want the responsibility of taking care of this dragon, who he saw as an annoying lapdog. When the dragon transformed into a human and the two figured out how to coexist sanely, Aesop started seeing the other as a little brother and really took on a caring, protective role. Together, they explored their abilities and their telepathic bond, even forming a rock band together with the neighbourhood twins.
As the more emotional of the two, Ferro has no problems showing his affection towards his brother through physical contact and cuddles. Aesop, while he loves Ferro just as much, is more standoffish and really only admits his true feelings in private, or in the privacy of their bond. This makes the love seem rather one-sided, but don't be mistaken. Aesop would do anything for his brother, including death, but showing emotions isn't really his strong suit.

History
When Sop was an orphan running with the Rat Pack, the kid snuck into Hatthew's home and found a strange rock that drew Sop towards it and revelaed it to be a dragon egg that Sop was able to hatch because he was that egg's chosen Draconic Knight. Hatthew took it upon himself to adopt and raise the boy as his own as well as his successor to that title of the America's Draconic Knight.
