The eldest dragon known to be living on IIo today, Grandfather has lived through several of the Great Lessenings. Believed by the dragons to be one of the most powerful beings in existence, if not the most powerful, Grandfather's voice is the most important at the Council of Yoka. Rarely does Grandfather travel to Yoka however, as he spends most of his time teaching and training draconic youths at his school in Morin. It is a mark of great distinction when a student is accepted to the school, although all dragons are welcome to come and stay there for a time. Grandfather's true motives are known to none, and even his favorite students know little of what Grandfather expects from them.
