Black Capped Teimarr are a small and sociable breed of dragon with an appetite for seafood. They can commonly be seen flitting around sand dunes and tidal marshes, searching for crabs and other aquatic invertebrates, or cavorting in tidal pools in hopes of finding landlocked fish. Because of their large wing-to-body size, they are excellent long distance fliers and are known to migrate hundreds of miles along coastlines, or even across open sea to outlying islands in search of seasonal delicacies such as bird eggs, fledglings and schooling bait fish. The males are easily distinguished by their large jousting horns and their extendable neck frill, which they show off to the females through enthusiastic head bobbing.

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.

Messof is a goggled engineer who travels coastal regions a lot. He's careful in his actions and is to-the-point when speaking, almost curt, and he has high expectations of everyone he meets. When he needs more people in his team, he distributes little cards with his name and information in hopes that he'll be contacted, and he asks the recipients to to hand the cards to more people, thus making himself known to potentially a bunch of individuals without having to personally meet them all. It is a pain to cut and pen all of those nice cards, so Messof expects at least one in four to reach worthy hands.
