Verjigorm is the Hunter of Great Dragons, as I'm guessing you know from
reading the basic rules. What he does, is capture dragons (those who don't
play ED, he's got stats and powers that make a great dragon look like a
house cat...) and put them into some sort of cocoon -- there's a very
nice picture on page 69 of the Horrors book. He wants to take over the
world, but unlike James Bond-style villains, Verjigorm actually has the
power to do so.
He hates dragons above everything else, so during the last Scourge (from
ED's perspective, that is) he captured *several hundred* of them,
including some great dragons. They now sit in astral cocoons at various
locations, where Verjigorm's powers alter the dragons' True Patterns to
remake them into a new race of Namegivers that can not only Name, but also
re-Name -- and thereby change the world and its inhabitants into
Verjigorm's ideals...
