Sarkan

Sarkan, often referred to as the Dragon, is a character in the fantasy novel Uprooted and its upcoming film adaptation. He is a powerful wizard who lives in a tower, defends the valley from the Wood, and he takes a girl from the valley every ten years.

Appearance
Sarkan is tall with a lean build. He's beardless. His eyes and hair are both described as 'dark', while his complexion is described as unnaturally pale. He isn't ugly, but his coldness makes him appear unpleasant.

Sarkan is over a hundred years old, but he appears to be in his late teens or early twenties, "a little older than" Agnieszka at age 17. Although his skin is "taut", he has an unnatural "crow's-nest of lines by his eyes, as though years couldn't touch him, but use did."

He typically dresses well in "rich" clothes.

Quotes
"If you don't want a man dead, don't bludgeon him over the head repeatedly."

"Well", he said ungraciously, "you then, I suppose."
