Professor Dragon Lankford

Professor Bryan "Dragon" Lankford is the fencing instructor at the Tulsa House of Night. He is an extremely great Fencer. With his skill and experience, he trained expert fencers.

Appearance
Dragon is described by Zoey in Marked as a short, but muscular male, with long blond hair, usually tied in a pony tail at the nape of his neck. His Vampyre tattoos show two dragons facing a filled in crescent moon, their wings and tails framing his entire face.

Hobbies
Together, he and wife Anastasia travel the world studying ancient vampyre lore, bringing alive long-lost vampyre rituals.

Hunted
Both Dragon and his wife, Anastasia, took part in Zoey 's group escape from the Tulsa House of Night]

Tempted
Anastasia, his wife, was killed by Rephaim, a Raven Mocker. Dragon develops a powerful hatred towards him.

Awakened
When Rephaim is forgiven by the goddess, Nyx, Rephaim offers to be in debt to Dragon because of the deeds he has done. Dragon rudely declines, saying he cannot even look at Rephaim without hatred.

Destine
When Aurox attacked Rephaim at Sylvia Redbird's lavender farm, Dragon gave his life to protect Rephaim and to release Zoey, her circle, and Thanatos from Death's spell. When Dragon does this, he fulfills his oath, regains his good side, and is wonderfully reuniting with Anastasia in the Otherworld, seen by all spectators there.
