Although a strict non-combatant (largely due to being both a pacifist and terrifically lazy), Hua-Lúng became involved in the Vinar struggle against the Kriegbesonnenheit towards the latter half of the war. He had originally foreseen that a great soul would one day come to the castle of Vanitar in Arya, and so decided to keep the fortress in good condition until necessary.

However, he had one detrimental flaw: Laziness. Even among the ever-courteous dragons he was described as being "lethargic" and "callous". Because of this failing, the castle quickly fell into disrepair and was overridden with all manner of foul beast. The dragon therefore figured that if nothing else, the great soul would have to work for his castle. At the very least, Hua would serve him in other ways to make up for the trouble.

Thus when prince Sinuhe Mentuhotep came knocking, Hua greeted him in a humanoid Vinar form and took up the responsibility of being a tactician. While not physically strong nor academically inclined, he was brilliant at field tactics, largely stemming from a childhood fascination for watching humans 'at play'.
