Bistra
Serpentine Faerie Dragon. Obsession with gathering favors, most of which are technically owed to Lachlan McDermott, her partner in crime, but who in turn owes them to the dragon. Is the self-imposed 'God' of a hive of desert faeries, who form the cornerstone of the Dragon's joint business with the dwarf. Poses as the Dwarf's attack animal so that people aren't even aware that a Dragon is involved in their shady dealings.
Bistra is a manipulator at heart, always attempting to do as little personal work as possible, while getting others to fulfill her needs. Her silver tongue and lack of empathy for others are what gave her the opportunity to essentially talk a hive of faeries into eternal indentured servitude. Now, working with Lachlan, the bump her pride takes in acting the loyal guard dog is offset by the constant thrill of 'getting one over' on the general populace. She enjoys the long con of constantly being viewed as something significantly less than she truly is, only to dramatically reveal herself from time to time when it's time for someone to die.
Bistra's half of the arrangement she and Lachlan have forged is to be the leash on the indentured faeries who comprise much of their joint business' workforce, as well as to protect him in social situation, playing the dumb animal to intimidate and, occasionally, overhear things that might make for solid blackmail.
