Red Dragons are similar to typical story book dragons. They shoot flames, can fly, etc. However, they aren’t evil creatures as depicted in myths and won’t go around raiding castles, killing knights, or kidnapping princesses. They live in a variety of habitats, from forests to coastlines to abandoned castles, usually in warm climates, and eat whatever living creatures they can find.

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.

Max Mordecai, called Max by friends and Mordecai by his master, is what most would call a 'big teddy bear'. At first glance he may appear as a big brute, minimizing most other dragons of Rhous' collective, but do not be fooled, for he is actually the youngest of the adults. Usually being a very timid one, he does not often speak to strangers, and hardly found far from at least one other dragon.<br/>Most of the time Max is seen with Liam, often playing or watching over him, almost serving as Liam's big brother. Even though Max's true kindness shows in Liam's presence, it is certainly not impossible for Max to go into a blind rage when angered or put on his bad side. His nature as a red dragon is certainly not completely locked away.
