This breed of dragon was thought to exist only in legend. Although their name varies between cultures, they are often referred to as “Guardians of Nature.” They are able to channel the forces of fire, ice and lightning, which allows them to wield tremendous power. Seen very rarely, it is thought that they only become active when something is threatening the territory they have chosen to guard. In order to protect their chosen home, these dragons are incredibly adaptable; they have been seen everywhere from remote mountain ranges, to ancient forests, to the darkest depths of the ocean.

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.

Alpha is one of the two most powerful dragons in his master's cave (the other being his Guardian counterpart, Omega), and backs up his position with sheer elemental force.  Summoned by the same trio as his counterpart, Alpha shares relatively similar characteristics to Omega: Elemental mastery, brilliant tactics, and a kind heart.

Alpha, despite being a tactical genius, is a rather impulsive dragon, preferring to take action in his strategies before discussing possible consequences.  Despite his impulsiveness, he has not failed one of his relatively foolproof tactics.  Mostly due to his elemental prowess, however.

He is seen going everywhere with Omega, as the two are practically siblings, having been Summoned by the same trio of dragons.
