There are three breeders in the dark elf society: Dwahro, Inrahi, and Tolethven. Lord Breeder Dwahro is the wealthiest and most experienced of the three, having begun Etea Arena after "domesticating" a drakkin female and creating his own colony. In the centuries the arena has been running, only two other drow have ever managed to get their hands on females, both through Dwahro's "generosity".

Dwahro: Not a man to fool around with. He's a tough and intelligent person with very definite views on how things should be done - his way. Seeing as he's the single most powerful man in the city, people rarely have any problems with this.

Inrahi: A lady of some repute even before she became the second breeder. Extremely arrogant, but with every right. The only person she answers to is Dwahro, and even that is often grudging. In her younger days she was known for her prowess with a dagger, but has since switched her sights to the training of drakkin.

Graceful and lovely, an outsider would never think that she was capable of violence, even knowing the reputation of her people. Her long, flowing hair is a rarity among them, a luxury that few fighters can afford. It's a matter of pride to her to keep it so long and it's not so difficult to confine it before a confrontation.

A trademark of Lady Breeder Inrahi is her fondness for, and collection of, drakkinhide clothing. Whether a supple pair of breeches or an elegant gown, if she owns it then she wears it. A favorite piece of hers is a dress made from one of her former reds, a well-known and vicious fighter. When he passed his fighting prime and could no longer win mating fights he was killed and his hide put to good use.

The lady's tailors have perfected a process of softening the tough hide until it feels as smooth as silk against the skin. This secret is guarded jealously and many who've had the extreme fortune to acquire a bit of hide will pay a great deal of money for the service. It's an alternate source of income that earns her quite a bit, but obviously the market is limited by the shortage of drakkin past their prime.

Tolethven: Probably the most unusual of the three breeders. The simple fact that he kept an albino offspring is an unusual act - the pink-skinned creature is no good for fighting and would have sold very well as a pet to some high lord or lady. He claims that his Cha-kinale and As-ny are able to communicate with him. Not the most stable of individuals, but there is more to him than meets the eye. He is an unbelievably good trainer.

His personality is very unlike that of the other two breeders. He's a bit spacey at times and makes some people uncomfortable at first meetings. Despite this, he's got a fantastic sense of humor and displays it at unexpected moments, when the most people are watching. He's considered odd because of his fascination with extremely odd items, artifacts, and magics. He derives great pleasure from showing said items, artifacts, and magics off in very public areas, usually at the expense of either Dwahro or Inrahi (usually the latter, since she's more fun to poke).

One thing that distinguishes him from many other trainers - and breeders - is his quite remarkable talent at communicating with and training his drakkin. Mental communication is his preferred method as he feels that it gets more across. All of his drakkin obey his slightest whim and their discipline is quite uncanny for the species. The males are loyal to him as a sort of "second female" leader rather than a dominant oppressor. His purple female sees him as a partner rather than a servant (yes, this is how females see their owners, but only Tolethven knows it and he doesn't tell).

The undisputed expert on the care, training, and handling of albinos, he is the one to consult if you have any questions about fair-skinned drakkin. Similarly, he enjoys discussing albinos with anyone who will listen. His knowledge of drakkin society and behavior is truly amazing. Most of this was gained through close contact with Cha-kinale and As-ny.
