Desipis Dragons are an extremely dangerous breed, synonymous with the paths of desolation they leave in their wakes. These gargantuan beasts are infamous for their innate ability to control and manipulate the minds of others, which they use to pulverize the sanities of their foes and forge false memories. This power is especially effective on the foolish, and only the strongest-willed individuals have been known to resist a Desipis’s cunning. Most who anger Desipises do not live to tell the tale. Desipis Dragons are especially feared for their uncanny power of absorbing the magic of others with the fire they breathe and converting it into the bright reserves of crystallized mana that decorate their bodies.

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.

Medeus is evil incarnate. Three times he has died—once at the hands of Anri, twice at the hands of Anri's descendant Marth. His first two resurrections were weak attempts; not once was he able to abuse his true power. Until the Avatar Khususnya stepped in... after Medeus' third death, the Avatar's lackey worked his powerful magic to reawaken the Shadow Dragon.

And reawaken Medeus did. At peak strength this time—mind control, magic theft, all the power he had not felt in so long. Khususnya now as his subordinate, the remnants of the Dolhr pulled back together, manipulated Archanean innocents to be used as dispensable pawns in the ultimate attack... Mentally broken to the brink of insanity from repeated deaths and now finally having this... strength...

His body is scarred, some from fatal wounds left by the Falchion.

Revenge. They all hail Marth as a hero, but that miserable dragon's days shall be numbered. And he shall be tormented in every way he fears before a slow death...
