Originating from a single species that thrived in ancient times, Xenowyrms have become an incredibly diverse breed whose appearances vary depending on their habitats. Each Xenowyrm subspecies is heavily reliant on the power of different types of mana, making them powerful magic users. Astrapi are easily the most temperamental of all Xenowyrm subspecies. Their unpredictable behavior—coupled with their masterful control of lightning magic—has the potential for devastating results. Most of their time is spent airborne, flying through the skies or circling mountainsides for prey.

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.

After spending his hatchling years around the Thalassa Ramirez, MacLeod has developed quite the lust for life. Only meeting his mate Heather has settled him down some bit. He does less of the flirting and drinking into the morning hours nowadays, but he still enjoys the occasional heroics—swashbuckling or not. He defeated the menace Kalass, damaging the other wyrm's vocal chords beyond repair but left him alive so the Pyro might learn his lesson and become a better dragon. He fights evil wherever he sees it, but he shows mercy when possible. Life is too short, so every dragon should have the opportunity to enjoy it as much as possible as far as MacLeod is concerned.
