==Dragon memory==
According to Adept [[Semyon]], one of the versions of the Dragon memories shows him fighting the [[Emperor]] near the city of [[Cyrene]] in [[Lybia]] of the 11th or 12th century.<sup>5</sup>
The emperor, a lone warrior knight in golden armour and a scarlet-plumed helmet riding on a mighty charger of midnight black, wielding a tall lance of purest silver, from which flew a long red and white banner depicting a soaring eagle grasping a bolt of lightning, fought the Dragon, with the shape of a half crawling beast with talons like scythe blades, half loathsome bird, an immense scaled head and a tail twenty metres long, with a terrible winged body was covered with scales that were steel plates, rippling like liquid mercury, strong, bright and smooth like the emperor's armour and the light of devoured stars shone in its breast and malignant fire burned in its eyes.<sup>5</sup>
After the emperor defeating the dragon by thrusting the sword at it's weak spot, beneath his left wing, he tied the banner around the helpless Dragon, and claimed that he could not destroy it, the emperor then brought it to mars and bound it beneath the [[Noctis Labyrinth]], now known as the Dragon of Mars.<sup>5</sup>
==Dragon's Prison==
The Guardians of the Dragon say he is bound into a cavern beneath the Noctis Labyrinth.<sup>5</sup>
However the Daemon [[Hrangore]] claims that the daemons eat the souls of those that the Sleeping God of Mars eat their lifeforce, deep in the Noctis Labyrinthus a great chamber of basalt, with machines of antique silver towering around it flickering beams of unimaginable energy flowed in a glittering arc to a vast sarcophagus on the floor made of gold and adamantium.<sup>4</sup>
==Guardians of the Dragon==
Adept Semyon the Guardian of the Dragon, claims that with the dragon sealed in Mars, the emperor orchestrated the rise of the [[Mechanicus]], using the dragon dream that would trigger the creation of the machine in the priests of Mars.<sup>5</sup>
The Guardians of the Dragon job is keeping the bounds of the Dragon maintained, and they souls are chosen by the emperor for this task.<sup>5</sup>
Adept Semyon passes the knowledge of all his antecedents and the emperor will and choices to Adept Dalya making her the new Guardian of the Dragon.<sup>5</sup>
