Lofwyr is CEO Saeder-Krupp Industries and a Great Blue Wyrm.

Unlike most of the Dragons of Draco, who keep a low profile, Lofwyr burst unto the Web's scene in 33 WR when he purchased a controlling share of the struggling AAA Corporation Saeder-Krupp Industries with a chunk of his hoard. He maintains a 63 percent stake in the corporation, allowing him a certain degree of secrecy and discretion. Unlike rival Kuat Consortium, which tends to plaster its logo on everything, S-K more often works through subsidies and shell corporations. Indeed, all Saeder-Krupp Industries itself actually DOES is own a bunch of other companies. Lofwyr expanded S-K's traditional heavy industry focus, opened new weapons departments, and most significantly used his own magical knowledge to pioneer a mystic goods business. Anticipating a resurgence of interest in magic in Tasnica, these new goods soon found a market. S-K expanded its hold on the market with complimentary items for magic-users including clothing lines targeted at mages ('classic and mystical, yet modern').

Lofwyr has not shared the secret of Draco with the Web at large.

Lofwyr is centuries old. He is a powerful magic-user and capable of assuming human (or dwarf, neko, etc.) form; his best-known persona is "Hans Brakhaus", though with his vast amount of money, power and influence he almost certainly has several other assumed identities. He is a powerful enchanter who has shared at least some of his knowledge of creating magical items with highly valued Saeder-Krupp employees.

Lofwyr has been locked in competition with Damien Gavalian and the Kuat Consortium for the title of most powerful corporation in the Tasnica, a competition that includes market share and shadow operations. Some have speculated that the reason Lofwyr appeared and bought Saeder-Krupp was precisely to engage in this sort of contest.

He can also breath lightning.
