According to the dungeon journal on the WoW: Dragonflight <\/em>Patch 10.1 PTR, Scalecommander Sarkareth will be the final boss of Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible. <\/p>

Scalecommander Sarkareth is the leader of the Sundered Flame, a group of insurgents who broke away from the Dracthyr and the Dragon Aspects in hopes to bring about a new age of Dragonkind. We first encountered Sarkareth and his faction of rebels in the Azure Vault dungeon, of which they are the main antagonist.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>
