Nimrav is a kind, fun-loving dragon. He loves puns and practical jokes, much to the chagrin of his mate, Serum. He often ends up on the sharp end of her claws for his sense of humor. His attempts to woo her fail consistently; although he must be doing something right, as it is always his side she returns to, despite her frequent flings with the gatekeeper, Natch.

Nimrav is also the proud and loving father of two adoptive daughters. And although Serum refuses to be acknowledged as the girls' mother, it makes him smile to see how gentle she can be with them. He has a special relationship with his eldest daughter Merry, as he has unwittingly chosen her as his charge. Since he adopted the girls he's become the official teacher and mentor for all the clan's young dragons.
