During the time of the Kings' War against Soledormir, Gorgeon was King of the Venatavis on Skyfall Isle. While he was remarkably normal in every way power-wise, he was widely known as being the most beautiful Venatavis to ever have lived, and one of the most clever and witty ones as well. Gorgeon has always had a playful personality, and could even be considered quite the prankster; when he was among the Kings, he was close friends with Arthur; the two of them would often cause mischief, tell jokes, prank each other, etc...

One time, Gorgeon thought it would be funny to set up a date between his good buddy Arty and a griffin shapeshifter he knew... While he had done it as a joke, Arthur and Sophie ended up getting married, and Gorgeon was happy for both of them.

During his time as King, the Venatavis were exceptionally talented woodcarvers, and it showed, as they built grand towers and cities out of delicately crafted wood (As seen in the first picture of Gorgeon that @ShadowPikaboo did). In the most extravagant of towers they built, the walls would be engraved with precise carvings and embedded with jewels or gold.
In their homeworld, they have many different and unusual plants with many unique properties, several of these having special oils that they used to preserve, waterproof, and fireproof what they built, more so than what's found on Earth. They also used special oils to refine wooden weapons, making them as hard and durable as steel. For example, Gorgeon uses wooden hunting boomerangs as his primary weapons, being hit by one of them would be like getting hit by a solid slab of metal that was thrown at full force... As an added little bonus, that big diamond in the middle of the boomerangs has a purpose--if the light hits it a certain way as it's flying, it'll make a brilliantly bright glare, which can serve to either blind or distract foes.

Gorgeon once had 10 of these boomerangs, in case he lost some, though only a few broken or rotten ones have ever been found.

Albino Venatavis have almost always had a bad reputation, even in King Gorgeon's time, but Gorgeon treated them differently. He viewed them as people, not beasts, people who were outcasted out of the fear of the unknown, and he took it upon himself to try and aid them. One such Albino Venatavis, Ragnarok, was so moved by the King's kindness, he swore loyalty to him and became the King's third greatest warrior and specialized armor and weapon crafter. Ragnarok had originally come from a snowy locale, and knew of ice that never melts under the most extreme temperatures, and used this knowledge to gift the King with tools, and a city in Shiverglow... A city that would later be enchanted by the First...

One Venatavis, a former assassin and alchemist from the Simmerlands, once caught wind of Gorgeon's fame, and travelled across the sea to challenge the King to a battle of wits in exchange for his services. Novus was the name he gave himself when he set aside his past of murder, and being thoroughly impressed at how Gorgeon went about solving the puzzles and situations he set before him, Novus became the King's second greatest warrior, and shared secrets of alchemy and survival with him, such as what ingredients are needed for a potion that causes the Venatavis' body to stop sweating and giving off a scent, and how to make a special waterproof paint to be used on his feathers, should he need a disguise. Being a former assassin himself, he also took up the role of being the King's closest bodyguard, as he knew best how assassins think.

And then there was Mios, the first greatest warrior of Gorgeon, though he was not always this. Mios was a rather unusual pick, in the eyes of the people, to be one in Gorgeon's court, he was a Jungle Venatavis born with the rare birth defect that rendered him unable to breathe fire or poison foes with his wing talons, his whole body was almost a solid deep blue color with very subtle markings, and not even the crest on his head was impressive--by Venatavis standards, he was ugly, but Mios had a wondering mind that questioned why. Why was he born with this defect? Why can't the Venatavis use magic while so many other species can?

But Mios didn't wallow in self-pity, he put his mind to finding the answers to those questions, and when Gorgeon appointed him to be his chief scholar and researcher, he gained the resources to do so, and over the course of many years, he discovered the secrets that allow his species to channel and control magic...

But Gorgeon did not want these secrets to be shared with the world, as he feared what would happen if every Venatavis gained magic, and so Mios enchanted a stone and hid the secrets within it, so only a Venatavis holding the stone can awaken their sleeping magic. With this, Mios became Gorgeon's First greatest warrior, and continued his studies of magic, to determine the pros and cons of wielding it, and what negative affects it might have.

Together, the Three did wonderful things for their King, but they each wanted to make something more personal out of their respect for him, so one day, the Three gathered together and discussed what they could do. Mios brought a prototype invisibility cloak he had been working on and suggested making something similar for Gorgeon, but Ragnarok wasn't satisfied with something that wouldn't protect the King in the heat of battle, and would only allow the King the option of a coward's retreat. He then suggested a suit of armor, made from the eternal ice, but Novus disagreed, as a suit of heavy, shiny ice would take time to put on and take off, and he suggested that whatever they make ought to be discreet and easy to use, so their King could make the most use out of it. Mios then got the idea... to merge all of those suggestions into one, and make something discreet like a jeweled collar or such, that can serve as an invisibility cloak and shape-shift into a suit of armor on command. Ragnarok and Novus both agreed to this idea, and the Three went to work on their own parts, Ragnarok took the finest gold and rubies from his treasure hoard and gathered some of the eternal ice for the collar, and went about designing how the armor itself should look, Novus took it upon himself to design the collar and work out the little details, like insulating the inside to ensure it wouldn't freeze the King, and Mios worked out the specifics of the magic, making the collar only be able to be used by the true King of the Venatavis.

During the creation of the collar, the Three discovered they could not quite make it with the magic Mios had at the time, and they requested aid from a select group of Dreamers to ensure the collar would shape-shift as intended.

The Crown of the King, as they named the collar, is another ancient artifact that has been lost to time, and no one has ever been able to find it, or the prototype invisibility cloak Mios first made.

~~~~~~~~

Despite all the good Gorgeon is said to have done, he went down in history as a Traitor King, as when Soledormir revealed himself and started wreaking havoc on the Realms, Gorgeon sided with the Chaos King to save his own skin, leaving his people in chaos without a King... He took his Three warriors with him, and any who saw him in Soledormir's domain reported that he acted more like a mindless parrot than a person as he lived his life being pampered and praised.

How odd, considering a Key was made in his likeness, and considering how Soledormir's forces later ravaged Gorgeon's kingdoms with a fury unlike the world had ever seen, breaking the Venatavis species to such a point that they no longer build their grand cities of wood and build simple nests out of fear of being targeted again, and that to this day, Venatavis born with purple eyes and sunset colors are rare, due to shadowy creatures hunting them down.

No one knows whatever happened to the King of Heaven's Pinions or his Three, but some would say that Gorgeon left his secrets with the Snow Feathers, and Those Who Guard the Stars.

But who among them is left to tell the story, and who knows the truth?

"Give your immortality to me, I'll set you up against the stars~"

That's all the lore, super special thanks to @ShadowPikaboo for copy/pasting that for me since my laptop's battery died! And more thanks to her and @Fluffy_inc for helping out with the bases a bit when I had a bit of art block 'XD

Fun fact: Gorgeon is,out of all my original characters, the first one to have naturally purple eyes. My other purple eyed OCs have magically-induced or unnatural purple eye color.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeee's a beautiful CHICKEN!
