As a clan of ruthless mercenaries, the Black Dragon became even more dangerous when they learned of the existence of Outworld and the other realms. This unfortunate event caused the Black Dragon to greatly expand their influence, becoming a threat not only to Earthrealm, but to the other realms as well. Weapons Trading. The Black Dragon is known for trading firearms, often using the sale of weapons to manipulate groups into conflict with one another, after which the Black Dragon seizes control of the now vulnerable area. Cybernetic Enhancements. The Black Dragon often have access to advanced or exotic technology, usually stolen by Black Dragon mercenaries themselves. Among the various skeletal enhancements that make Black Dragon mercenaries particularly resilient, a common modification possessed by the mercenaries is a cybernetic eye, which can produce a scorching laser to fell their enemies. |
