The clan doesn't allow any experiments on living dragons or even hatchlings. Which meant, it was totally okay for Connlaodh to experiment on dead hatchlings. Well, if he had told Ladon about it, he probably would have said no to all this. But Connlaodh got the dead hatchling before he had any chance to speak to Ladon. At least, that's what he told himself when he started his little experiment to bring the hatchling back to life. And bringing him back to life he did. It was an exhausting journey, sure, but in the end his technology was advanced far enough that after a few days, Subject One came back to life. The other dragons find him intimidating and weird, to say the least. He has all the physical features of a dragon - he sure enough looks like a Wildclaw with a very strange color combination, he can talk and fight and think for himself. But he just doesn't have any physical needs. Subject One doesn't need to eat, or sleep, or pee for that matter. He can just work at every hour of the day. He just doesn't get tired. The other dragons find this strange enough to avoid him most of the time, but Connlaodh is proud of himself and multiple times was already caught calling Subject One his child. Which is weird - after all, Subject One doesn't show any sign of emotional intelligence as well.
