Nocturne Dragons are a strange breed. Whenever light strikes their bodies, they are frozen in whatever position they were in. This leaves them vulnerable and they rely on camouflage to keep themselves safe. They are often mistaken for statues when in this frozen state, but Nocturne dragons do not actually turn into stone. Rather, they merely idle until the sun goes down. At night, these dragons come to life, proving themselves to be powerful fliers, although little else is known about their true behavior.

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.

Hudson is an old and gruff warrior. In his youth he served with the Blacks as a defender of the clan, but those days have long gone by. Nowadays Hudson could spend all of his time enjoying his well earned retirement, but instead he prefers to teach the younger Nocturnes the basics of fighting and self-defense and acting as an advisor to Goliath whenever his expertise can be of help.

Hudson firmly believes that a dragon needs a purpose in life otherwise he could just lay down and die.
