Branch Growth Characteristics	Ophion branches grow immediately when their spark is absorbed into the pleroma due to the excess of nul-energy in Ophion’s ocean.
Nul-history	During the telepathic attack crisis, Stavros was one of four entities who found their way into the pleroma through rips into the nul-universe. His rudimentary consciousness believed the pleroma to be something he found and claimed as his own; he thus began to guard the entrance to assure himself that others wouldn’t come to take it from him. When a questing team stumbled upon him, he appeared to have the form of a dragon. Chand talked him into joining the pleroma.
