Blitz was originally born as Anthony Solair, a pure-blooded summer dragon from a proud and unforgiving family who valued their magic almost as much as their noble bloodline. When Anthony fell in love with (and married) Chesska Windlost, a tutor and a half-dragon, his family was outraged and threatened to cut him off from the family, effectively stripping him of any power or status that came from being a Solair. Ultimately, Anthony chose Chesska over his family, and along with a few loyal servants from the Solair household, the two set up a new home on Penumbra Island. They lived there happily for some time, until Chesska died in childbirth, leaving behind a daughter—Clair—and an extremely depressed Anthony. Without the Solair fortune to cover expenses, Anthony was soon forced to join the Navy in order to support his struggling household. Bitter and guilt-stricken, he tended to come across as cold and cruel to his fellow crew members while at sea. He was eventually falsely accused of murdering his captain's wife, shot from the submarine, and nearly drowned. |
While he was floating on a piece of wreckage in the ocean, a raven spirit approached him, offering to take away all of his pain and guilt in exchange for his service to the Great Raven. Miserable over how his life had turned out, Anthony consented, and the raven entered his mind and began to destroy his memories. It was only when the raven was about to destroy Anthony's remaining memory of Clair that he fought back, stabbing himself in the eye to prevent the raven from taking total control, an action that also trapped the spirit in his body.
His mind badly fractured by the raven, Anthony was reduced to a childlike state, becoming a completely different person from who he once was. He washed up on the shore of Ruin Island, where he was discovered and rescued by the waitress Credenza Black (although at the time he was possessed by Raven). When she found he could not remember his name or anything from his past, she gave him a new name: Blitz.

Occasionally, his dragon traits will surface—subconsciously, as he has no idea he's a dragon—such as when he acts territorial around other dragons-for example, snarling and biting at Kroft. As AnthonyAnthony's personality however, was slightly different. Before Chesska died, he seemed to be kind, adventurous, and funny, although a little bitter toward his family. After her death, he grew angry, guilt-stricken, and depressed. According to a member of Captain Syn's crew, Anthony was very cruel while serving under the Pandorian. |
