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.

Azrael was picked up as a hatchling, being given to the Castle Master in trade for another hatchling. Since he was already mature by then, Azrael has felt he's never found a comfortable place within the cave, and is constantly feeling unwanted. However, he does his best to socialize with the other dragons, and has found friendship with Horzar the Black Tea dragon. It's a common sight to see the two flying together or roosting outside on the nearby mountain range, often watching the daily routines of others. Often, though, he is being bullied by the female Hellfire, Flarea, something Horzar is quick to stay out of. Once, Azrael tried to fight back, but that ended in him being beaten nearly to death. He's long since learned to stay out of her way, or just take her abuse while it's not too bad.
