Birdfood v2.0

As my party goes up against the Air Temple Cult (Cult of the Howling Hatred – a mishmash of every ToEE from 1e to 5e) one of my PCs remembered fighting this guy back in our first 5e campaign known as the Iron Gods.  Considering this particular villain stuck in her mind for so long, and she was expecting to see him at Feathergale Spire, decided to update him and reintroduce him when they explore the temple. He is riding the wyvern in the main temple complex.
