Dragon Gryphyn

Dragon Gryphyn is a Draganean prophet and first Xev of Heli. He is also the current Xev of Heli. He is perhaps one of the oldest beings in all of Rathnir and Eldham, as he and the rest of Heli believe that he was born around 180 million years ago. However, his memory beyond a few hundred years is extremely shaky.

Following his death to the Dragon of the Void, the Mekanika left Dragon's soul to wander their domains until he was needed to help guide the sentient creatures that emerged.
