Vampire Dragons are members of the undead. They sustain themselves by drinking the blood of others. It is said that they are only “alive” at night, and seem dead or asleep during the day, as they cannot endure sunlight for long periods of time. Vampire Dragons can only reproduce by changing the eggs of other dragons, puncturing the shell with their fangs and injecting venom that kills the baby inside.

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.

Not a dragon that you want to cross, Alex Mercer is an enigma even to those who know him. He's quick to anger, very vengeful, and can easily be goaded into violence which is often catastrophic. His strength and destructive capacity is unrivaled due to his ability to form red-and-black tendrils to decimate the area around him. Left to his own devices, though, Mercer is generally quiet, even regretful. He prefers to watch from afar rather than become involved in the day-to-day life in the clan, although he never misses out on an opportunity to fight.
