Paper Dragons are not truly living creatures. They are pieces of parchment enchanted by magic, and as such, are very vulnerable to fire. However, they behave almost like dragons. The only place where their behavior differs is breeding: paper dragons cannot breed.

Bookman's Records, called Bookman by most and Gramps by his apprentice, has made it his mission to record the true history of the world. He is very secretive, though; he understands that knowledge is power, and while he doesn't use this knowledge for his own gain, he shares very little of it with others.

In addition to being very shrewd and observant, he has a special ability he uses to keep these records. It just so happens that anything written on him is immediately absorbed, so no one can read it, and anything absorbed is ingrained forever in his perfect memory.

He has taken an apprentice under his wing, another paper dragon with his same skills and special ability. Bookman is slowly sharing his vast knowledge and trying to train his apprentice, so that knowledge will not be lost if something ever happens to him.
