Eragon (character)

Eragon (character)

Eragon Bromsson is the main protagonist of the Inheritance Cycle, written by Christopher Paolini. Eragon is a male, the first in a new generation of Dragon Riders. He was trained by Brom, an old storyteller from his village, and Oromis, a surviving Rider. He was chosen by Saphira, a blue dragon, to be her Rider.

Eragon grew up as an orphan without any real knowledge of his parentage except his mother's name, Selena, and later discovered, while on a hunting trip into the Spine, a large blue stone. The stone later hatches back at his farm into a small blue dragon. He later names the dragon Saphira. The inhuman Ra'zac who have been tracking the dragon egg, turn up at Eragon's farm, killing his uncle and forcing Eragon, with Brom and Saphira, on a journey of adventure, friendship, betrayal and death.
