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.

Jaer holds the exterior of a reserved black dragon, yet holds a warrior's spirit within that rivals that of even most of his species. Calm and collected, he has few friends but is extremely loyal to them and would go as far as to defend them to the death. His Life Mate is Mara GoldLeaf, who he finds livens his often neutral mood.
