Stevius

Mantissa "Issa" Argona's dragon. They were raised together from birth to fight for Coalition For Good.

His COG Call Sign is [S2H]E2, Sierra Two Hotel Echo Two, though generally "Sierra Two" is sufficient, as most of the other dragons in his platoon are larger.

Personality
Stevius is as friendly and chatty as Issa is taciturn. His relentless curiosity was not beat out of him by his years under COG, but rather emboldened. Stevius absolutely loves weapons, and spends his space time developing new weapons that could be carried by dragons for war. Not that COG would ever entertain his ideas, but nevertheless he tries.

He uses his long memory to remember everyone he's met, and keep tabs on his friends. Stevius has lots of friends, and he's on good terms with almost everyone else in their platoon. Some of this is due to his friendly, out-going nature, but some is due to his stature. Although Issa is very large for a human, Stevius is on the smaller side for a COG dragon. The other dragons find him non-threatening.

Appearance
Stevius is spiny and small. His face is heavily ridged, dark gold eyes sitting in a deep pit surrounded by spiny ridges. His body is a dark, hunter green, fading to a pale green along his stomach and breast.

He is 22 feet tall, which is small for a COG-raised beast. His size was intentional, as was Voltaire "Volts" Donegue's assignment to him. Despite his numerous ridges, Stevius can fly almost entirely silently, and land just as quietly. He is the beginning of a new stealth force COG is developing.
