Hephaestus

"Hephaestus is an old red dragon who has lived in the caves west of Mirabar for as long as anyone, even the dwarves, can remember." --Sojourn: The Legend of Drizzt, Book III, R.A. Salvatore

Hephaestus is not much for pillaging - none can recall the last time he even came out of his hole - and he even does some ore-melting for hire, though the fee is steep.

Hephaestus was not the dragon's real name, rather the name given to it in reference to some obscure god of blacksmiths.

Hephaestus was overly proud, as dragons usually were, and able to speak the common tongue, but "lacking in the area of suspicious insight normally associated with the bred, particularly with venerable reds."
