After ruling Britanna with Kara, Sir Bowen was eventually a widower. In the last year of his life, Bowen visited his old friend, Draco's cave, where he discovered a miracle: an egg was about to hatch. The egg was of Draco's child, Drake. As he died, Bowen gave the unhatched Egg to the local monestary that Bowen's friend, Brother Gilbert. They kept the egg hidden as Bowen lied dying. 
==Relationships==
===Draco===
Bowen first met Draco when he gave half of his heart to Einon, who had died from his wounds from an earlier battlefield. The knight swore to Draco that he would offer his sword and service in gratitude for saving Einon whenever the dragon would ask for it. However, the dragon only asked for Bowen to see that Einon held his vow. After Einon's sudden change of character, believing that half of Draco's heart "corrupted" him. However, the dragon was not to blame for Einon's corruption, as he truly was his father's son, but it took Bowen a long time to know that. Bowen swore that he was going to spend the rest of his life hunting Draco down.
They both met again twelve years later, with their encounter having somewhat of a cat and mouse game with each other, except with Draco being "the mouse" and Bowen being the "cat". Bowen was unaware that this was the same dragon who split his heart with Einon. However, Draco remembered him from their last meeting, however, he kept it a secret. They both tried killing for each otherEventually, the two began a deal, a partnership, by scamming villages. Near the very beginning of their partnership, Bowen continued calling Draco "Dragon" rather than his natural name (which would be hard for a human to pronounce) but eventually, Bowen decided to name him "Draco" for it to be easy to pronounce, and Draco proudly accepted his new name. Eventually, their partnership turned into a friendship and Draco and Bowen began to genuinely care for one another. Bowen even admitted to Draco that he was worried about him because the villagers were looking for Draco. The dragon saved Bowen from Einon at the last minute. When Draco revealed that he was the dragon who saved Einon, Bowen was both shocked and angered. However, he knew Draco was not to blame for Einon's behavior at the end.
Bowen later found it hard to kill Draco, especially since he couldn't bring himself to killing the dragon that became his friend. However, Bowen did so at the end. At first, the Knight was saddening to doing Draco's last request, but Bowen smiled on as Draco finally made his way up into the sky, as Draco was finally admitted into the dragon heaven. Later, Bowen discovered his old friend had fathered a child, a dragon's egg about to hatch and entrusted Draco's unhatched child to Brother Gilbert's monastery.
===Kara===
When Kara was young, she remembered Bowen trying to free her father, and said he was the bravest knight she saw. When she mentioned this event to Bowen twelve years later, Bowen pretended that it wasn't him and said that soldier died a long time ago.
Bowen first officially met Kara in the village he and Draco were scamming. Both of them immediately disliked each other, especially after Bowen ridiculed her. Kara stuffed a watermelon in his face in retaliation. Bowen later tried getting her to be a "sacrifice" for Draco, and told his friend to eat her, and even explicitly said to Kara that she should have been eaten. The two of them continued being at odds with each other, especially when Kara tried to tell him to stand up to Einon, but he refused. In retaliation, she tried to ruin Bowen's scam with Draco, but that failed anyways. The novelization reveals that Bowen and Kara declared love for each other. 
When they were training to fight, Bowen and Kara began developing feelings toward one another. At the end of the film, they are said to be leading the people into a time of peace and brotherhood, meaning that they probably married each other by the end.
