Glaucus Drakes have curious personalities. They spend more of their time sunbathing and idly floating in the water than exploring. Because they move very little as they float, Glaucus Drakes can ambush prey relatively easily. They can dive to surprisingly deep depths, and eat a variety of fish and marine plants. Most of them live in tight-knit family groups.

Though it may appear at first that dragons and drakes have much in common, the two are completely separate species. Drakes are smaller and less intelligent than their cousin species, though both dragons and drakes sit comfortably near the top of the food chain. They are always found bearing antlers and leathery wings. Drakes share many of the same habitats that dragons do, and typically hunt in packs.

Flores was destined for the Sea Clan from birth and had always been expected to uphold their traditions. They strongly believed that "pure breeding" was best: all mates must be of the same breed. As such, the members of the clan were not allowed to choose their own mates; such things were decided for them. Yet Flores had never understood the point of this tradition and, when presented with his chosen companion upon coming of age, he refused to take her as his mate. He had nothing in common with this stranger other than their breed, which didn't seem to him like a good enough reason to become life companions. Outraged by his refusal, the Clan Overseer exiled Flores from the Sea Clan. For many years he led a lonely life exploring the surrounding areas, until one day he met Nusa Tenggara, a Glory Drake, and slowly they fell in love. The two lived happily together and soon found a new clan of like-minded individuals, who all agreed that the best mates were those chosen by the heart.
