'''Torch''' was a [[Dragon Lord]] and father of [[{{FIM|Ember]]}}, thea currentsubsequent Dragon Lord. As the ruler of the [[Dragon Lands]], he seemed to be strict, but not cruel. He didn't appear to be well-liked by his people, however, as no one was saidsad when he decided to retire.
 
==BiographyHistory==
Being a dragon, it's entirely likely Torch is several thousand years old, or at least far older than any {{FIM|Pony}}, bar the Alicorns[[Alicorn]]s. Roughly a thousand years before [[{{FIM|Spike]]}} was hatched, Torch and another massive dragon attacked a unit of the [[Cloudsdale Royal Legion]] who had entered the Dragon Lands. They succeeded in taking two of them prisoner, but the others-led by [[Flash Magnus]] and [[Commander Ironhead]]-were able to rescue them. They then moved storm clouds together and caught the two dragons in a crossfire of lightning, which prompted the pair to retreat.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Campfire Tales}}</ref>
 
At some point, he had a daughter named [[Ember]]. Some time after her birth, he was forced by dragon law to retire and host the [[Gauntlet of Fire (event)|Gauntlet of Fire]] to find the newest Dragon Lord, but banned Ember from entering. Ember entered anyway and she soon teamed up with a small dragon named [[{{FIM|Spike]]}}. Together, the two clashed with Garble for the right to become Dragon Lord. Spike won, but gave the title to Ember, who proudly took her role in spite of her fathers opposition. Despite his ire, he realized that if she was capable of getting the title, she was capable of ruling the dragons.<ref>"[[{{CAR|FIM|Gauntlet of Fire]]"}}</ref>
 
When [[Twilight Sparkle (Friendship is Magic){{FIM|Twilight Sparkle]]}} was considering where she might send her pupil [[Starlight Glimmer]], she briefly considered the Dragon Lands and created a magical simulation of such an event. Based upon Twilight's limited experience with dragons and personal misconceptions, she imagined a number of unlikely scenarios, including Torch giving Starlight a ride on his back.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Celestial Advice}}</ref> Later, while attempting to deceive Spike into believing that he was his father, [[{{FIM|Sludge]]}} claimed that Torch had sent [[Spike's mother]] on a mission to scout out a migration route for the dragons.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Father Knows Beast}}</ref> Ember would later mention her father during her first time watching over dragon eggs, noting that Torch had not passed on much information on the duties of the Dragon Lord.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Sweet and Smoky}}</ref>
 
==Personality==

After retiring from his role as Dragon Lord, Torch is said to have become calmer and more pleasant to be around.<ref>''[[The Bestiary of Equestria]]''</ref>
 
==Personal life==
===Family===
* '''Daughter:''' {{FIM|Ember}}
 
==Appearance==
===Attire===
In the time of {{FIM|Twilight Sparkle}}, Torch wore armor along with the [[Dragon Lord's crown]] and a gold band bordered with purpleish gray metal around his left horn.
 
Torch's armor is fairly simplistic, consisting of a single large breastplate that covers his upper chest, with large holes for his arms and smaller ones to accommodate his wings and back spikes. The metal of this breastplate is purple-gray, with layers of increasingly dark color spreading down from the neck. On his shoulders rest plates of identical coloring, while the breastplate itself is held in back by black straps with gold clasps.
 
==Behind the scenes==
Torch is a character in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic]]'' who first appeared in "[[Gauntlet of Fire]]" as the [[central conflict]] if the plot. His retirement meant certain doom if the wrong dragon won the title of Dragon Lord. Torch appeared in episodes after Gauntlet of Fire, but never quite became a major recurring figure.
