Hellfire Wyverns are so named for their foul tempers and fiery visages. Their social structure places all females above all males, due to superior physical characteristics and violent dispositions. Forced subservience of the males causes them to become vicious, petty, antisocial, and passive-aggressive compared to the aggressive and social females. However, orphaned hatchlings raised by foster parents of another species can develop surprisingly even tempers and mellow dispositions, proving that their defining unpleasant nature is, in fact, a learned behavior.

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.

George is one of the many dragons rescued and nurtured by the wide ranging clan of humans founded by AnselaJonla. His egg was found near a volcano and taken to a hatchery to be raised.

Once he matured, he found his lifemate, a Horse dragon, among the other AnselaJonla dragons. In the tradition of the AnselaJonla flock, both dragons took the same name, Felldread, to pass down to any of their offspring that remained within the flock.

Where the other defence force dragons are content with only attacking intruders, George prefers to take the fight to threats himself. More than one potential attack on clan and flock has been thwarted by this wyvern swooping down and breathing flames over a gathered force of soldiers.

His Hellhorse daughter, Agnes, has taken to accompanying him on these trips. He's so proud of her.
