Biography
War of the Shifting Sands
When the Qiraji started their first invasion of Kalimdor, Anachronos agreed to enlist the bronze dragonflight against the marauding Qiraji with the night elves. Even with the might of the dragons backing them, however, the sheer numbers of the Qiraji and silithid proved overwhelming. And so Anachronos called upon the progeny of the remaining flights, including Arygos of the blue dragonflight
Arygos, along with Caelestrasz and Merithra, pushed the Qiraji back into Ahn'Qiraj to allow Anachronos, Fandral Staghelm, and the night elves to create a magical barrier to hold in the Qiraji. The three dragons and their companions flew headlong into the Qiraji legions, into the city where they hoped their sacrifice would not be in vain. Though the magical barrier was created, the three dragons were lost within the walls, where they still remained for the next 9,000 years, in humanoid form, as prisoners of the Old God C'thun.
Andorgos, along with Kandrostrasz and Vethsera, later came to the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj after sensing their enslaved brethren deep inside the Qiraji city. However they are unable to attempt to rescue their flightmembers without also falling prey to same spell which holds Caelestrasz, Arygos, and Merithra as C'Thun's slaves. The three wait at the entrance of the temple hoping to find adventurers who will venture into the city to free their brethren, and provide the adventurers with powerful pieces of armor in return for bringing them specific items obtained from defeating C'Thun and his minions.
When given one Imperial Qiraji Armaments and three Elementium ore, Arygos crafts weapons which, according to him, "will become a force of reckoning".
A Legendary Engagement
Ever since the death of Malygos, the blue dragonflight has struggled with appointing a new leader. Its members are torn between Kalecgos and Arygos, the two likeliest successors. Arygos believes that his kind should withdraw from the world and forge a new path while Kalecgos believes in the opposite. To end these debates and arguments the flight has agreed to meet during the Embrace, in hopes that one of them will be selected as the new Aspect.[1]
Arygos wanting to ensure that he is chosen to be the leader of the blue dragonflight has allied with Deathwing in order to assasinate Kalecgos. However his plan failed because Tarecgosa sacrificed herself to save Kalecgos. With his actions revealed to the rest of his flight Arygos flees Coldarra calling the flight fools and that Neltharion will destroy them as Kalecgos is chosen to be the flight's new leader.
