Black Marrows are named for their dark colored hides which are encased in a distinct exoskeleton. Their skull and the top edges of their spine push out from under the skin as they age. As such, their young need excessive amounts of calcium for this armor to develop. The older a Black Marrow dragon is, the more skeletal their appearance. They often use their skeletal looks to lure in foolish scavengers or terrify predators. These vicious dragons love nothing more than to crack open bones with their stony beaks and eat the marrow inside. Voracious scavengers, Black Marrows will swarm and devour corpses both old and fresh, sometimes even dragging larger finds to the water to allow them to “ripen.” Despite their dreadful demeanour and often horrid stench, Black Marrows are devoted mates and parents.

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.

The result of an unusual breeding between a Copper and a Marrow, this creature lives a very torn existence. Sadistic and hungry, he is very much his father's son, savoring the suffering of his victims... and yet his mother's gentle nature always lingers beneath the surface, leaving him to direct his cruelty only towards those who deserve it. Taking his fill of tyrants and thieves, he sometimes finds himself in the uncomfortable position of being thanked by those he's saved in the process. The feeling of a tiny hatchling or weeping woman hugging him is something he feels he'll never get used to, as it causes a very weird, warm, tingly feeling inside his chest. Needless to say he leaves as quickly as he can, taking flight and heading off in search of his next meal, blaming his mom's genetics for making him a wimp.

What he doesn't know, however, is that he's her son by adoption only; he was found as an abandoned egg and taken in. Which means, of course, that his kindness is all his own.
