Nocturne Dragons are a strange breed. Whenever light strikes their bodies, they are frozen in whatever position they were in. This leaves them vulnerable and they rely on camouflage to keep themselves safe. They are often mistaken for statues when in this frozen state, but Nocturne dragons do not actually turn into stone. Rather, they merely idle until the sun goes down. At night, these dragons come to life, proving themselves to be powerful fliers, although little else is known about their true 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.

Acharius is a servant, it is his one role. He is a gentle, quiet dragon, and he only speaks to greet his mistress, the Gargoyle's Goddess. His loyalty to her is unshakable, and it seems he is beginning to care for her more than a servant is meant to. Every night, he brings her offerings of boulders grasped in his talons, and ensures she is well fed before settling down at the foot of her eternal perch to await the coming dawn. Often, when frozen at her feet, he wonders what would become of her if he wasn't around to bring her nourishment. The Gargoyle rarely joins her in this spot, and he would never think to feed her: Acharius assumes it would be "beneath him." But he has never spoken to the Gargoyle, and probably never will, least of all to inquire into his neglectful behavior. After all, it is not his place to ponder the fate of his mistress, or the dealings of his mistress' master. Even so, he can't keep himself from fearing the Gargoyle and the plans he may have for his goddess.
