Wyvern is a dragon who lived deep beneath the ground in the caverns of Wyvern Hill.
History
At some point in the past, Wyvern brought a clan of gargoyles to what would become known as Wyvern Hill, and those gargoyles would become the ancestors of the Wyvern Clan. He brought the gargoyles to Wyvern to protect his lands, his treasure, and his rest from the humans.
Also at some unknown point in the past, Wyvern stole the sword Excalibur and added it to his hoard.
In 971, Wyvern was awoken by the arrival in his cave of Antiope, the Trio, and Alesand. ("The Dream")
Presumably, Wyvern is the dragon that is the subject of an oath ("By the Dragon,...") used by "Iago", Angel, and Hudson. ("Possession", "Tyrants", "Render Unto Caesar", "The Dream")
Characteristics
Wyvern is a dragon of immense size and power. He considers the Wyvern Clan and, perhaps, gargoyles in general to be his cousins. But he harbors a deep hatred of humans, considering them the greatest threat to all of the "Stone Flesh". While he is reluctant to kill gargoyles, he's not completely unwilling to. ("The Dream")
During the battle in the skies over the construction site of Castle Wyvern, Wyvern was blinded in his left eye by the Archmage firing a bolt of lightning from the Grimorum Arcanorum. ("The Pledge")

Funny enough, the fanbase never guessed the significance of the dragon. [1]
