Perhaps you’ve heard of my ancestor Luca Papanillo, the legendary 14th century Italian dragon keeper. He was the first wizard to compile an encyclopedia of known dragon species, and many of his texts are still indispensable resources in the field. The majestic Red-Winged Mediterranean Dragon was first discovered by Papanillo, one of the many species he was the first to document. He also invented the Fireproofing Charm, which was indispensable while working so closely with dragons, as it allowed him to freely approach dragons without fear of bodily harm (from burns at least). Of course he’s also remembered for his eccentric taste in clothing. Even in the sweltering heat of summer, it’s said that he was still seen in his favorite dragon hide cloak. Despite his hazardous career Luca and his wife Eva still managed to have 11 children.
