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.

Bespel is the first of many. He is the first Legionairre under Gevu and adores the vampire. He hasn't left Gevu's side since the moment he arrived at the Legion caves, and works diligently to be sure that his sire doesn't work too hard. Many of the other Legionnaires see his devotion, which borders on hero-worship, and whisper that he must have been brainwashed into near-slavery, but Bespel goes unimpeded, always glad of an opportunity to please his master.
