"I wish they wouldn't do all that to you... I did not ask for this... But they told me, you will not know the difference... You will live a happy life, even after all they do to you... It's for the better, they say, it's necessary, they say. I am actually not quite allowed to be here, with you, before the scan... because they don't want you to know... how you looked like... Don't you worry, you will be fine..."

Now a rather sad tale, of how Fitz became a Protogen. As you can see, Dragon Fitz is not doing so well anymore, after quite many years of living his life, and doing deeds, in the name of the good, some people don't want to let him go - and chose to create a Protogen, that will be trained and infused with Fitz's skills, and memories. 

Yes - that's my version of a Protogen without a Visor, or rather, before he gets the Visor, and all the other modifications.
