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.

When Kemsar first arrived, he scared the Karev Entertainers half to death by claiming to be the Phantom of the Amphitheater—the ghost of the last dragon to perform there.  While no ghost (he's as vulnerable to Oghava's tail as anyone), he's undeniably creepy, perhaps even deadly, and nobody's ever been able to figure out his past history.  Kemsar is the obvious choice for any skit requiring a villain (especially the over-the-top pantomime sort), and the ease with which he adapts to any role suggests some sort of theatrical training in his background (dragon theater—fewer sets and costumes, more magic and fireballs).  Though frequently sinister and occasionally dangerous, Kemsar is at heart a loyal member of the Karev Entertainers and would fight to the death to protect the amphitheater.
