Horsefly

Horsefly is a tough, muscular SandWing that lives and trades in the Scorpion Den. He is quite wealthy, despite the fact that he's always spending his money on hired assassins and gambling.  
== Appearance ==
Horsefly is mostly just a basic SandWing. His scales are a dirty yellow, and his underbelly and spine-fan are brown--as well as his wing membranes. His whitish horns are both broken off at the tips, one shorter than the other, and he has two scars on his nose, which can give him a tough appearance. Horsefly also wears a gold hoop earring on each ear, and is extremely strong, tall and bulky, which plays to his advantage, as he loves fighting. Horsefly has dark brown eyes.
== Personality ==
Horsefly is a rough, loud and straightforward dragon. He isn't extremely bright, unless it comes to gabling, his favorite hobby. Horsefly terrifies anyone he is around, and most dragons know not to pick a fight with him--he'll either smash them right then and there, or hire a skilled assassin like Bloodclaws to slaughter them.
== Biography ==
Horsefly has lived in the Scorpion Den ever since he was a dragonet. His parents names were Centipede and Fly, a trained assassin and a gang leader. He grew up learning the ways of his father, Fly, and his current job is the leader of a small, gambling gang. You can often see him hanging out, trading or betting in the shady Scorpion Den tavern, 'The Boar's Tooth.'  
== Excerpt from Prymrose and Droplet (a story set in the Scorpion Den) ==
Prymrose stalked angrily but sadly into the building, searching for Sand. She looked around and realized she had no idea what this place was. Dragons stood in clumps, growling in the dark room, tossing coins and meat onto tables for gambling tokens. Is this a trade shop? Prymrose thought. Or maybe it's just a shop where people like to trade... 
Suddenly a buff-looking SandWing blocked Prymrose's way, cracking his talons against each other. "It's Horsefly, here," he said in a deep, rough voice. "And I don't think you have no business messing with Horsefly."
Prymrose tried to avoid grinning. Did this dragon want to fight? Prymrose reeeaally wanted to fight someone right now. Aaargh, she thought. I need to clear my head. I need to find Sand. I should really avoid things like this. "Ahh, sorry," Prymrose said apologetically to the SandWing. "I want to fight too, but I've got my own business." She clapped Horsefly on the shoulder and walked past him, enjoying the shocked look on his snout. 
There he is! Prymrose thought, seeing Sand at a nearby table. "Hey," she said. "I'm dropping out. Your hybrid wants nothing to do with me. Honestly, I think she might like you.”
Sand looked at her, then snorted.
“You’re kidding right?” He looked up and then back down at the table, tossing a coin onto the table in front of him. “That pathetic creature hates me.” He hesitated. “I have protected her from everyone, including her...her family.” He spat out the word 'family' as if it was covered in rotten fish. “So maybe that’s why. But I’ll be glad to get rid of ‘er.”
Prymrose sighed. "I had a feeling you would say something like that. Listen, I have absolutely no idea what's going on with you and her, but I just wanted to ask if you're taking her somewhere safe. That little dragonet deserves it." Prymrose looked at the dragon sitting across from Sand, partly hidden in the shadows. "And who is this?" she asked. "You've been in here forever."
