Dr. Heathcliff Dracone and Lady Lillandyr Shadowglade, from my sketchbook:

Above graphite sketches by this writer/artist

Heathcliff is a statue of dark elegance, the definition of clarity. His motions are one of personal command and hard-lived wisdom. There is a dark perversion in his stare, some unspoken plotting in his eyes.   

His appearance resembles a juxtaposition of dusty aristocracy and roguish piracy. He wears a wool and silver coat styled for agility and warmth. An obvious noble with a killer style.

Heathcliff spends most of his time in his laboratory or traveling, his research journals piling up in one town to the next. 

He speaks in a manner in which he looks. Questions are always crafted in his advantage. 

The Dracone family name has a strange, fabled history and carries even wilder rumors. Old, old money. So old that many of their coins aren't even accepted into circulation anymore. Their coffers were overflowing, their armories feared and their sons and daughters coveted. The Dracone Castle remains a huge menace of foreboding danger in the southern mountains of the Ghostlands. Some say the castle itself is sentient (@draconecastle), haunted by something dark and evil. Travelers beware!

Heathcliff grew up to fall in love and marry very early in his life. His education flourished and he was a gentleman of great expectations. Fate would not have it so and plucked from him all his happiness during a violent storm. Her neck snapped falling from the carriage, and his dreams were over.

Many years later the violent home invasion by the scourge destroyed most of the family— all slaughtered. All but two.

Heathcliff survived, the one that slept in the crypt that night, on her stone covered with roses.

And his eldest brother Aronsen (@wraaronsen), a brute that now haunts the Ghostlands to feed his unnatural appetite.

A fortune of money and misery left to two brothers.

I didn't until this ask, but this is pretty cool! From googling around, they appear to be a heraldic+folkloric animal from Romania. In english speaking heraldry they seem to be called a 'dracone', but I'm gonna use Zburator for this as it's their original (and far more specific) name:

Avery -> Henry -> Ethan -> Mel
