Golden Wyverns are known for their beautiful metallic scales and rumored magical abilities. Living high in the mountains, these dragons do not believe in killing for sport or pleasure. They will hunt only when hungry and defend themselves when provoked, but will avoid killing to the best of their abilities. Golden Wyverns often mingle with other dragons of similar color and take pride in their shimmering hide.

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.

Jake Dillinger is the epitome of the suave, smooth-talking Golden Wyvern. He's considered by most to be one of the coolest dragons around—just as cool as Chloe Valentina, even. Most of the dragons that he talks to fall for him sooner or later; sadly for them, Jake is very picky about who he dates, and his eye is already on Christine Canigula, a Soulstone dragon.

To Jake, alpha status among the dragons is natural to him. He's got everything going for him—fighting ability, looks, the shimmering golden hide—and he knows it, using it all to his advantage to gain territory and the gazes of other female dragons. Christine tells people that Jake has problems in his everyday life, and really isn't as perfect as they all say, but it's hard to see it behind his supposed facade.

Unlike other cool dragons such as Rich and even Chloe, Jake doesn't really care about the dragons who aren't part of the social scene. He goes with the flow—and that's what makes him attractive to other dragons.
