  Strengths Dragon's breath Can breathe fire in either human or alphyn form. Longevity Klaus will live considerably longer than humans and similar folk. His lifespan is approximately 300 years barring illness or being killed. Fireproof...ish Klaus quite heat resistant. Prolonged exposure will harm him but it would take pretty extreme measures to kill him with fire. Locking him in an oven should do it.

  Weaknesses Iron Not unlike fae, Klaus is weak to iron. Small or trace amounts won't do much, but in concentrated or pure form it weakens him. Prolonged exposure to iron results in malaise, burns or rashes that often scar. Hydrophobia While not afraid of all water, he IS afraid of deep/large bodies of water and streams with an obvious current. Large rivers, lakes, and the ocean are particularly disconcerting. In some instances he will refuse to cross a river or creek. Vanity All alphyns whether male or female sport impressive lion-like manes. The size, thickness, and overall lustre of the mane is important to alphyns and often determines social status and likelihood of snagging a partner. This compulsion carries over to their human form, where they will often grow their hair long. Cutting or outright shaving that precious coif is a pretty harrowing ordeal for the alphyn.
