Eragon was portrayed by Edward Speleers in the film adaptation of Eragon. The name "Eragon" is an aptronym based on the word "dragon", and a play on the phrase "an era gone". Eragon is now his own person, similar to me in some respects, but possessing a unique history, likes, dislikes, friends, and family." Eragon was the first character developed by Paolini, and the author's outline of how the character would develop drove the novels' storyline. However, Paolini states, "Eragon has done many things that I haven’t-such as ride a dragon, fight monsters, and use magic-and these experiences have made him a different person than me. The author originally intended Eragon's character serve in an autobiographical capacity. He is a skilled magician and second to only Murtagh in his skill with the sword. After a magic ceremony in the second novel, Eragon takes on the physical characteristics of an elf, although he retains some aspects of his human body (such as the ability to grow a beard). Įragon has dark brown eyes and hair and fights with bow and arrow or a sword, especially the sword Brisingr, crafted for him by the master smith Rhunön.
He is also known as Eragon Bromsson, Argetlam, Shur'tugal, Shadeslayer, Firesword, and Kingkiller. He has romantic feelings for the elf Arya, but the two never become a couple as he leaves Alagaësia permanently at the end of the final novel. After the dragon Saphira hatches for him, he travels to the Varden, where he learns of the evils done by Galbatorix and determines to end the king's rule. Until the age of fifteen, he was raised by his uncle Garrow. Eragon is the cousin of Roran Garrowsson and half-brother of Murtagh.
ERAGON could have used better editing and much stronger character development. The story moves ahead far too quickly and doesn’t explain anything deeply enough.
