After Qibli left, Vulture, Cobra's father, imprisoned her to get his hands on her dragonets, to make them join his [[Talons of Power (organization)|Talons of Power organization]]. He trapped her in an oubliette until Qibli came to Vulture's fortress to look for [[Ostrich (JMA)|Ostrich]]. When Cobra was freed by Qibli, she told him to escape that night with her. Cobra stopped herself from calling Qibli "lizard," and even tried to kill her other two dragonets for trying to stop her escape. She, in fact, killed many Talons of Power members on her way out of Vulture's fortress with Qibli, and also set off a [[dragonflame cactus]] prior to stealing the [[Obsidian Mirror]] against her father's wishes.

=== [[Qibli]] ===
=== [[Qibli]] ===
As shown in Qibli's flashbacks in ''Darkness of Dragons'', Cobra does not seem to care about Qibli or believe that he will ever amount to anything. However, when they are in Vulture's compound, she seems to get along with him and wants to rule the Scorpion Den, although this was a trick.

=== [[Rattlesnake]] and [[Sirocco]] ===
=== [[Rattlesnake]] and [[Sirocco]] ===
Cobra seems to care little for her other two dragonets, as shown in the flashbacks of ''Darkness of Dragons''. She almost kills them in her escape with Qibli out of Vulture's place, but due to Qibli's protests, she lets them live. Seeing as though this whole "escaping" scenario she performed was a trick for her young son to lead her to Thorn's stronghold, she most likely has other feelings about these two dragonets.
Cobra did not pay much attention to Rattlesnake and Sirocco, and did not care much what they did. She often spoke harshly towards them{{Ref|DoD|6}} and showed no qualms against killing them.{{Ref|DoD|126}}


=== [[Thorn]] ===
===[[Vulture]]===
Cobra may or may not have wanted to give Qibli away to Thorn because Qibli thought that she might have been "only bartering to get a better offer" when she said that Thorn couldn't keep him. She did not try to stop Thorn from taking him other than that. She seems to give in to Thorn when Qibli is being taken away. Thorn was paying her a considerable amount of gold and jewels for her to find [[Morrowseer]], [[Stonemover]], and [[Dune]], as she asks Cobra if she has found the three, and Cobra says no.
Cobra had a decent professional relationship with her father, as she was willing to go along with his plan of overthrowing Thorn by manipulating Qibli into trusting her. However, she stole the Obsidian Mirror against his wishes,{{Ref|DoD|123}} and planned on betraying him, killing him and taking over the Scorpion Den for herself.{{Ref|DoD|141}}


=== [[Vulture]] ===
==Family tree==
Qibli mentioned in ''Darkness of Dragons'' that he thought that Vulture was the only dragon Cobra ever backed down for, and he thought that Cobra must be risking Vulture's wrath by keeping him alive. He found out later that this wasn't true, as Cobra was keeping them alive ''for'' Vulture.

She had three dragonets; Qibli, Rattlesnake, and Sirocco with an unknown dragon. Cobra abused and ignored Qibli, and possibly even his siblings, before Thorn came to take him. She did not care what happened to him, but she did not want to sell Qibli at first. But after a quick negotiation, in which Thorn agrees to stay out of Cobra's way, she let Thorn take him. She always insisted that he had to fend for himself in the Scorpion Den. She said he cared too much for others and was worthless.

Soon after meeting Qibli, Moonwatcher had a vision about Qibli's early life, including his mother. Later, Qibli asked "where is she?", the 'she' being Cobra.
Darkness of Dragons

In a flashback, Qibli remembered the whispers of dragons wondering why he and his siblings were allowed to live. He remembered lying awake night after night waiting for his mother to show a hint of her hidden love. Yet, Cobra never looked at her dragonets. When Qibli was three and half years old, Cobra had ordered Qibli and his siblings out because she was expecting a client. He came back later with a coconut and offered it to Cobra. She was furious because when "you steal a coconut, you kept it for yourself." Thorn noticed this and offered to take Qibli. Cobra refused this but agreed after Thorn claimed that she and her Outclaws would leave her alone.

After Qibli left, Vulture, Cobra's father, imprisoned her to get his hands on her dragonets, to make them join his Talons of Power organization. He trapped her in an oubliette until Qibli came to Vulture's fortress to look for Ostrich. When Cobra was freed by Qibli, she told him to escape that night with her. Cobra stopped herself from calling Qibli "lizard," and even tried to kill her other two dragonets for trying to stop her escape. She, in fact, killed many Talons of Power members on her way out of Vulture's fortress with Qibli, and also set off a dragonflame cactus prior to stealing the Obsidian Mirror against her father's wishes. It was later revealed by Qibli that Cobra and Vulture were plotting against Qibli, by making it seem as if Cobra had been trapped in the oubliette for years, although it had only been less than a day. Vulture and Cobra had set a trap for Qibli, trying to make him lead his mother to Thorn's stronghold. Cobra was arrested by Thorn and was thrown in Thorn's dungeon. Later, when Smolder, Qibli, Thorn, and Onyx visited the dungeons of Queen Thorn's stronghold, they met Prickle, who was thought to be Palm and thrown into jail. Once they confirmed her identity, Thorn thoughtfully wondered if she should let her go, and Cobra asked in a bored voice if she was letting prisoners go and, if so, could she be released. Thorn rejected her offer.
