Big D. The People's Dragon. President-for-a-Night.

"You're a pot-stirrer"

A great dragon of the Shadowdawn universe.

Dunkelzahn is one of the more influential character in the Shadowdawn meta-canon—a Great Western Dragon who shaped both the politics of Barsaive in Earthdawn and the UCAS of Shadowrun.

In Earthdawn’s Fourth World, he was known as Mountainshadow, a prince among dragonkind. In Shadowrun’s Sixth World, he was known Dunkelzahn, a media-savvy celebrity, magical scholar, and eventually (briefly) President of the UCAS before dying in a car bomb just hours after taking office. His death—and even more so, his will—sent shockwaves through metahumanity, launching the Draco Foundation, dozens of magical programs, and half a dozen conspiracies.

Dunkelzahn, also known as Darktooth (depending on who you ask), is one of the best written wyrms I've ever come across.
