Copper Dragons are masters of stealth, slipping silently and swiftly through the forests and jungles where they live. Often hunting in groups, their prey rarely know they are being stalked until the dragon’s at their throat. In the air they are agile and skilled. Copper Dragons prize family groups, spending large amounts of time teaching their young skills. So great is their love of life and family that they will sometimes adopt orphaned dragons of other breeds to raise.

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.

Wiseman is one of the best scouts in the Slashkill Pack. He and his brother-in-wings, Scout Graveman, are worth their weight in gold for how well they can slip in and out of enemy territory. Many of the pack's successful ambush attacks have been led by the duo, and it was their guerrilla tactics that got them in and out of Wavyfalls Lair with Little Eigel. Wiseman is extremely competitive, especially with Graveman, and he is constantly betting that he can do such-and-such better than everyone else. He and Graveman sometimes play a dangerous game while in enemy territory that they call Courting Death. They take increasingly stupid risks and then laugh themselves silly when the guards on duty still don't notice them... When they don't. Wiseman and Graveman have spoiled several sneak attacks with their tomfoolery by almost getting caught, and Courting Death has been banned by Ripper. Unfortunately, that makes it much more fun to play!
