Paarthurnax

"Akatosh wished me to be this way" -Paarthurnax, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Paarthurnax is a Dragon featured in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Characteristics
Paarthurnax is a friendly, old Dragon who is the leader of the Greybeards. He lives on the Throat of the World, the highest mountain in all of Tamriel. Paarthurnax is very wise compared to some of his other kin, and prefers not to fight. It is unknown how old Paarthurnax really is but he claims to have waited for Alduin, The World Eater, to return after thousands of years.

Paarthurnax used to be one of Alduin's main generals during the ancient times and the Great Dragon War. Paarthurnax's name stands for "Ambition Overlord Cruelty" in the Dova tongue. Although he used to be an overlord to the Nords, Paarthurnax betrayed Alduin during the Great Dragon War and insists to the player that he has overcome his nature of domination by meditating constantly for hundreds of years.
