This breed of dragon results from eggs or hatchlings that have been neglected. They are usually rebellious, not obeying their masters, sometimes even attacking them. However, their neglect as a hatchling leaves them crippled, and they are weak compared to other breeds, causing them to stay with their masters for protection.

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.

Aquas and his younger brother Sinii are twins who've succumbed to the same mysterious illness. Born merely seconds apart, their lives were bright and full of promise. Then, by some cruel twist of fate, they contracted the mysterious dragon sickness that plagues them to this day.

Aquas tries his best to protect his brother, as much as his frail body will allow. He is distrustful of many in the clan, and allows only a select few to near him or Sinii.
