Years ago, the eggs of the metallic dragons were stolen, and they were made to swear an oath that they wouldn't interfere with Takhisis's latest attempt to take over Krynn; if they complied, they'd get their eggs back safe and sound. Naturally, Takhisis lied, and dark magic was used to warp the eggs so that they would hatch draconians instead of baby dragons. She wanted shock troops for her army.
The dragons found out, joined the war, and a good chunk of the eggs were rescued. The ones that had already hatched as draconians, though, were largely considered perversions and killed out of 'mercy'. Additionally, some draconians had been created from chromatic eggs, and had turned out to be good in nature; a few of the metallic dragons took them in and acted as mentors.
Because of this, Kang has a healthy dislike of metallic dragons of all types, especially bronzes, and feels abandoned and betrayed by his parents, even though he has no idea who they are or if they're even still alive. In fact, he wouldn't mind one bit killing them if he ever found them. When it comes to dragons that hatched after the war, and thus, had no part in it, it’s a little more complicated; those are possible siblings and cousins. He understands that they’re innocent and don’t deserve to be killed for what their parents did, but at the same time, he’s a bit jealous of them.
The feelings of abandonment and betrayal, and jealousy, combined with the fact that draconians as a race very nearly didn't even get the chance to breed, make him extremely protective of his children and anyone he considers to be family. He would never hurt them or abandon them for any reason, and thinks very lowly of anybody that would do such a thing to a member of their family.
Kang also feels uncomfortable talking about the hatcheries, where he was forced to fight and kill his own brothers, and other draconians, just to get enough to eat.
He also knows that he has some trust issues when it comes to members of other races, especially humans. That happens when a person's entire race is treated like dumb beasts and considered to be cannonfodder by their own side of the war, and considered to be a heartless, evil monster that kills on sight by the other. Of course, the draconians are generally evil in nature and don't feel any regret for their actions during the war, but it can be really annoying when all he wants now is tolerance and isn’t even given a chance to live peacefully. Leave him and his alone, and he’ll leave you alone.
While the issues aren't so bad that he just doesn't get close to other people at all (he does have several human/elf/whatever friends), what he doesn't realize is that he's far more inclined to trust and befriend a female more quickly than a male. The Dragonarmies, the Solamnics, the elves, and everyone else the draconians dealt with on a regular basis during the war were male; there were very few female warriors on either side.
The first human that ever considered him to be a person was a woman. It was also a human woman that saved the baby females from being killed one winter, effectively saving the entire race. And, the woman that tried to kill the babies later realized how her hate had consumed her and ended up becoming the head of one of the towns/outposts (largely human) in the nation of Teyr. She and Kang are on friendly terms.
He’s also a just little bit paranoid of people that show up and want to ally themselves with him, as he’s been betrayed before, by the Dark Knights. He’d rather not repeat the experience, thanks.
Kang has a healthy dislike of gods. He once worshipped Takhisis, praying to her every night for his spells. He, like a lot of bozaks, believed that his magic was a gift from the Dark Queen, so when she disappeared with the other gods (after giving his race hope with the female eggs but expecting his regiment to die in the process of retrieving them), he thought that the magic was gone, and good riddance to the bitch. However, the magic was innate, and he realized this a little over a year later. He made a vow that he would never use his magic again after that, as a symbol of his lost faith, but has revised that more recently, as he realized that it'd be very... stupid to not use a weapon in his arsenal against the Ohm.
As for the other gods, good riddance to them, too. He'd never liked the 'good' pantheon; they were on opposite sides of the war, and if a draconian ever dared to step on the grounds of a temple of Paladine or Mishakal, they would be smote immediately. The neutral gods, he didn't really feel very strongly one way or the other towards, but in general, he just dislikes how gods almost always use mortals as their own personal playthings.
The events in Fairplay had him messed up for a little bit, and understandably so. He now has an entirely different set of memories, that he knows are fake, but he's managed to work through the overlap. The worst part that had him messed up was what he did because of the fake memories; deep down, he's aware that none of the blame falls on him or Felicia, but he feels like he cheated on Fonrar, and he does realize that the sex was technically rape, since neither of them would have done it if they'd been themselves. Oddly, even though both of them were victims, he doesn't consider himself to be such. He feels as if he's the one that raped her, and unlike several others of his race, he's never been all that comfortable with the idea of rape. He's still struggling with making these feelings go away, and they probably never will go away completely.
The lack of closure in not getting to say goodbye or thank you to Felicia or any of the others that had stood up for his team, them being forced into those lives for a cheap bet between two gods, and the fact that no one in that town will ever remember any of it, just makes the feelings worse. Kang doesn't want to forget, because he feels like someone needs to remember what happened.
He also has some lingering attachment towards Felicia because of the memories, and it doesn't help that she was similar, personality-wise, to Fonrar.
