I did manage to stat Borys back when I was still trying to finish Legends of Athas.

Borys, the Dragon of Tyr

Though this reptilian creature is waist–deep in silt, its slender head looms as far above a silt
skimmer's deck at the highest mast. It has a spiked crest of leathery skin running up the back of its
serpentine spine. A menacing light glows in its tiny eyes, and wisps of red fume rose from the nostrils
at the end of its slender snout.

Casting Time Metamagic Borys can spontaneously apply a metamagic feat he knows for a spell
without increasing the spell’s level or requiring a higher level spell slot, but doubles the spell’s
casting time. DS3 XX
Energy Storing (Su) Borys can store life energy from nearby creatures as a full-round action that
provokes an attack of opportunity. Creatures within 220 ft. gain one negative level. LoA 101
Far Reach Borys can use touch spells and powers on targets up to 30 feet away. LoA 10
Metamixture Borys can apply Opportunity Power feat to spells. Treat the spell as a psionic power of
equivalent level for purposes of determining the power point cost. Borys can spend up to 25 power
points. LoA 10
Metapotency When applying either Empower Spell or Empower Power feats, its effects are
multiplied by 1.5. LoA 11
Path of Least Resistance Borys uses the lower of targets’ spell resistance and power resistance if he
knows both the psionic and arcane equivalent of a power or spell. LoA 11
Psionic Raze When casting a spell, Borys can opt for his defiling radius to drain 1 power point per
level of the spell slot expended from all creatures caught in the defiling radius. Using psionic raze
costs 1 power point per two spell slot levels, rounded up. LoA 11
Regeneration (Ex) Cold and sonic effects deal normal damage to Borys. If Borys loses a limb or body
part, the lost portion regrows in 3d6 minutes. Borys can reattach the severed member instantly by
holding it to the stump. LoA 101

Hook “Destiny? There is no such thing as destiny—except what a being chooses for himself.”

Borys of Ebe, the 13th Champion of Rajaat, was the Butcher of Dwarves. He orchestrated the
rebellion against Rajaat and became the leader of the Champions. Borys convinced his followers to
use the Dark Lens to transform him into the Dragon. As the Dragon, Borys watched over Rajaat’s
prison in the city-state of Ur Draxa until Rikus killed him with one of Rajaat’s swords, the Scourge of
Rkard, on Free Year 10.
Borys had the following ability scores before gaining the Champion of Rajaat template, and he had
the following ability scores before ability level increases, wishes, the dragon metamorphosis, and
equipment bonuses: Str 15, Dex 10, Con 14, Int 13, Wis 13, Cha 8.

Strategies and Tactics

Borys uses his first round of combat to cast an area greater dispel magic and empowered maximized
circle of death using dragon magic to quicken both spells before he manifests psionic lion’s charge
fully augmented and charges using a full attack action to quickly dispatch any survivors. Borys will use
its breath weapon only as a last resort; for it is so destructive that nothing usually remains
afterwards. If its opponents prove too strong, he won’t hesitate to fly and cast spells from a
distance, or even to use quickened greater teleport in order to retreat in order to heal itself using
body adjustment and vigor before returning to the fray.
--------------________________________________________________
If you re-read PP, especially the Rkard vs. Borys battle, you'll notice that Bory's really the combat type
guy... I've tried to translate that into having at least one melee-oriented class.

Fits with the info presented in RaFoaDK as well. If you remember, Borys, Hamanu, Dregoth, and
Pennarin are described as being "the four champions who prided themselves on their sheer, brute
strength".

**As a side note, I always kind of hoped that Dregoth would have his bad ass maul (the one he used
to fell the First Sorcerer).
