Character from Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson
White-skinned Tiste Andii Soletaken dragon, brother to Anomander Rake, imprisoned for millennia and freed into a world he barely recognizes.
Silchas Ruin lacks his brother Anomander's compassion. Millennia of imprisonment in an Azath House burned away whatever gentleness he once possessed, leaving a being of cold pragmatism and terrifying power. He is direct where Anomander was subtle, ruthless where his brother showed mercy. Yet he is not evil — merely stripped down to survival instinct and ancient purpose. His Soletaken form as a white dragon is among the most feared in the world.
Tall and lean with pure white skin — an albino among the dark Tiste Andii. Red eyes that burn with cold fury. In dragon form he is bone-white with scales like polished ivory and wings that blot the sky.
