Black Dragons are warriors. They are strong and capable in battles of force, but also ample magic users, capable of devastating opponents with their spells. Their bright eyes give them excellent night vision, which is why they generally hunt during the night.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

The growing success of the Roaring Lion Players soon gave the theatrical company a chance to try new ideas. Some, like audience participation, weren't worth the effort, but plays designed to be performed in short, serialized segments before longer plays proved to be excellent money-makers, as dragons would attend multiple plays to see further installments.

Tyoku plays the over-the-top melodramatic villain. If he had a mustache, he'd twirl it, but instead he must settle for cackling evilly and using magic to create dramatic wisps of glowing smoke. Tyoku is as sweet offstage as he is nasty onstage, as seems to be typical for theatrical villains, but he enjoys getting the chance to play the bad guy. He hopes to one day be paired up with fellow overacting villain Favtien so they can chew the scenery together.
