Biography
The Dragonet Prophecy
Addax was first introduced when Six-Claws was escorting Sunny to Thorn, and he questioned who she was. Six-Claws dismissed him, and Addax watched them until they were out of his view. Sunny thought that he looked familiar, but decided that she would have remembered his scar.
He later deliberately set fire to the orphanage and claimed that there was a dragonbite viper to draw Thorn away from Sunny. While she was distracted, Addax used Ostrich, Six-Claws' daughter, as a bargaining chip. He offered her life in exchange for Sunny, who he wanted to give to Burn. Addax wanted Burn to allow him to return to her army and his family. After hearing this, Sunny agreed, but Six-Claws was reluctant to give Sunny up. Six-Claws eventually gave in, and Addax made up a lie for Six-Claws to tell Thorn, that Sunny decided she did not want a criminal thug for a mother and ran for the hills. Sunny protested, telling Six-Claws to tell Thorn she was visiting her friends and would be back soon.
Sunny recognized Addax as one of the SandWings at Scarlet's feast for Burn.
When Addax and Sunny arrived at Burn's stronghold, Burn was out looking for "a certain quintet of dragonets," and they were greeted by Smolder. Addax told him that he wanted his reward for capturing Sunny, but Smolder told him to wait in the barracks until Burn returned. It was never revealed whether or not Addax received his reward.
Thorn wanted to take revenge on Addax for stealing Sunny, but she defended him. Sunny told her that he had his reasons and that it was not worth it, saying "I'm alright, aren't I?"
