Preclara

Preclara is one of the last remaining human dragon riders on RuneScape. She is a member of the Order of the Dragon Riders, or the ODR, and is roughly 4000 years old.

Early Life
Preclara was born in the 3rd age in a small village in northern Asgarnia. A few months before she was born her father died during the a battle between the villagers and the black knights of Zamorak.

Preclara's mother did not make enough money to support both her and her daughter, so she sent Preclara to a monastery near modern day Edgeville, where she worship until she was 16, when black knights attacked the monastery.

The Battle of the Monastery
When the black knights attacked the monks were forced to leave the monastery and find shelter in the mountains to the West. The conditions here were so horrible that almost all of the monks died, and only Preclara survived, due to unknown reasons.

Revenge
After living on the mountains for over a year Preclara had become though and strong and she decided to get revenge on the black knights and charged the monastery. The black knights, noticing the young girl, laughed and didn't really prepare for an attack. This was a bad mistake, Preclara, who used a wooden branch as a weapon, defeated and killed 16 black knights in combat, before finally being captured by one of the commanders.

Zamorak
The commander saw Preclara's strenght, and sent her to Zamorak, who was still in RuneScape at the time. Zamorak, like the commander, also noticed Preclara's power and passion for battle and told her she would become a dragon rider. Preclara refused, as she worshiped Saradomin and would rather die than do anything for Zamorak.

Hollow of Agony
Preclara was then sent to the Hollow of Agony, one of the biggest and best guarded Zamorakian prisons of that time. Preclara was to be tortured until she agreed to help Zamorak and become a Dragon Rider. After 3 years of torturing Preclara had so little life left that she finally agreed to become a dragon rider.

Becoming a Dragon Rider
At the age of 21 Zamorak granted Preclara the power never to age, and to fight at Zamoraks side until she died in battle. Zamorak also gave her the blue dragon Isathyl.

God Wars
Since the God Wars were going on during Preclara's lifetime, Zamorak sent her into a few battles against Armadyl and Bandos, because even after all the torture, she refused to fight her one and only god, Saradomin.

The 5th Age
After fighting in hundreds of battles during the ages she joined the ODR, to meet up with other dragon riders. Here she befriended David of Lassar.
