Overview

Bernd Kull (Sphinx), born in the Black Forest near Freudenstadt, is an elf and drake from the brood of Dunkelzahn. His Drake nature awoke late when he was already an accomplished mage and shadowrunner with the runnername Sphinx. In search of his roots, he landed in a indirect way at Sea Dragon, which took care of him. Now as he manged to follow the Draconic Tradition under the guidance of Sea Dragon he is an outstanding Enchanter and Summoner. Since he has access to the Orchialcum of the Sea Dragoness, he can produce outstanding foci for his customers. His mistress' goals are always at the forefront of his mind. Regardless of his loyalty to you, he is always ready to let you jump over the blade if it serves her.

Note: Sphinx is big in the dragon game for Seadragon because of this you automaticly gain one point of Notoriety if you take him as a contact.
