Vampire Dragons are members of the undead. They sustain themselves by drinking the blood of others. It is said that they are only “alive” at night, and seem dead or asleep during the day, as they cannot endure sunlight for long periods of time. Vampire Dragons can only reproduce by changing the eggs of other dragons, puncturing the shell with their fangs and injecting venom that kills the baby inside.

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.

Rafe is a very gloomy Vampire. She is a fighter in Toxic's Vampire army, but she doesn't really do anything. She hates being a Vampire and wonders why it was her that had to be bitten. When she was a hatchling, she often tried to get rid of her Vampirism using rather gruesome methods, to obviously no avail. She was a scourge when she was younger, snapping at the older Vampires and trying to escape the cave. But now she's okay with it. She's okay with a lot of things.

Rafe lacks any emotion, probably having screamed and bled it all out when she was young. But that doesn't matter to her. She didn't need emotions to be a blood-sucking monster. The other Vampires don't really care that she's a gloomy stick in the mud, but the fact that does nothing to help the cause gets on their nerves, especially Toxic's. Evan, her fellow fighter, tries to get her invigorated for their cause but often resorts to yelling or even beating her to do so. But it's okay. Everything's okay, as Rafe always says.
