Samlin is a visionary, and he's never once tried to hide it.

From the unnaturally lifelike tattoos of the nine dragon gods that cover his body, to the dancer's movements, to the way he speaks, Samlin is practically teeming with electricity. An up-and-coming Fae leader, most assume, he's left little doubt in anyone's mind that all he does is for the good of the Faedom. Whereas his best friend Raiden shirks from his leadership role by playing socialite, flirting, and partying, every day Samlin wonders how different things could have been if it had been him, not Rai, to bond to Semper the Storm dragon. If it had been Rain Dancer Samlin going to council meetings instead of Rai flying off on ridiculous quests in order to dodge the very responsibilities that Sam so wishes he had. 

Yet, despite all of it, Samlin has remained at his best friend's side, unwaveringly loyal. Being with his friend through every step of the way as the young storm dragon grew into a much larger and much more aggressive adult, and even through a very messy public falling out with a woman, Raiden always swears they love each other like brothers. 

Perhaps for Samlin, it's something more. 

Voice: Samlin's voice is clear and the sort that makes others stop to listen. Interpret this how you wish!
