Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Dragonback is a sci-fi series by Timothy Zahn.Jack Morgan is fourteen, has been framed for a crime involved with the biggest corporation this side of the Orion Arm, and is very, very alone. With the exception of his uncle Virge, a AI emulating his late Uncle Virgil, he is completely isolated. That is, until a fierce space battle occurs right above his head. When the scuffle ends in a spectacular crash for one of the ships, Jack explores the wreckage to encounters the sole survivor - a K'da Warrior Poet named Draycos. After escaping the landing party of the mysterious other fleet in the aforementioned space battle, the pair come to an agreement (albeit a reluctant one on the part of Uncle Virge, with his self centered outlook). Draycos would do his best to help clear Jack's name. In return, Jack would help Draycos save his race from a planned genocide.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Dragonback / int_1f518822
comment
Androcles' Lion: A variation. Draycos takes the time to spare the life of a mercenary in the first book, which Jack - used to the No Good Deed Goes Unpunished thinking of Uncle Virgil - is confused by. Draycos says he did it just because it was the right thing to do and he does not expect the mercenary to be grateful if they ever meet again. Three books later, he isn't - but he is a recognisable face in a mercenary uniform at a slave auction, meaning Jack can identify which group of mercenaries were involved in the first book.

Draycos saying "I am a poet-warrior of the K'da," as a Badass Boast when Jack asks if he can really do some feat or other.

Absurdly Sharp Claws: K'da claws are sharp enough to cut through metal. And not just slash through it either; at one point Draycos uses this ability to carve a precise hole in a shuttle's hull as sabotage.
