Description

Personality
According to Morrowseer, Vengeance would love to practice killing other dragons, and Quickstrike stated that he was unintelligent.[5] He was vengeful,[6] greedy, and disobedient.[7] Vengeance was selfish, pushing away other guards to escape first.[8]
Biography
The Dragonet Prophecy
It was mentioned early in the book that RainWings were missing, including Queen Splendor. When the dragonets were searching for Orchid, they found a dying sloth with a nasty bite on it. Later, they heard something out at night that sounded like a monster. They heard bones crunching, then discovered that the sloth was gone. Vengeance was the kidnapper of Glory and Queen Splendor. He was mentioned — though not by name — when Glory was taken to the NightWing island. When Glory was first inspected, a fellow NightWing stated her worries, but Vengeance scoffed, saying that all RainWings were rotten and useless. During his attempt to capture Splendor, she accidentally sprayed him with her venom, scarring his face and making him show an intense hatred for all RainWings.
He interrupted the council meeting where Starflight was being interrogated about the RainWings' plan. He then claimed that he knew more about RainWings than anyone else. Greatness accused him of disobeying orders by kidnapping Glory, even after Deathbringer had warned them not to. He rebuffed by explaining how Deathbringer allowed Clay to pass through the tunnel and had Deathbringer arrested. However, Queen Battlewinner decided that Vengeance must be executed for capturing Glory, and he was thrown into a lava pool. Vengeance struggled to escape, but the guards used spears to keep him submerged until he eventually burned to death. Later, Starflight wondered about Queen Scarlet and how she could still be alive, as Glory's venom did not hit her directly in her eyes. He noted that if she was alive, she would probably look like Vengeance.
When Fierceteeth, Strongwings, and Preyhunter were watching Queen Glory and Deathbringer, Preyhunter snarled that Vengeance was right about Deathbringer being a traitor.
Winglets
Fierceteeth mentioned him when explaining that no one knew what RainWings could do, as it was not in any scrolls. Fierceteeth also mentioned that he was ugly even before he got sprayed in the face with venom.
Vengeance was one of the two dragons Deathbringer had to choose from to kill, in order to get permission to leave the NightWing island. When Deathbringer tracked him down to assassinate him, he was unable to check if Vengeance was sleeping in his cave or not due to two other dragons playing a game in the entranceway. Because of this, Deathbringer decided to kill Vengeance's cousin, Slaughter, instead. This was likely what brought Vengeance's hatred of Deathbringer.
Relationships
Slaughter was Vengeance's cousin, and was kind only towards him.[9] Quickstrike believed that Vengeance would hate and try to hurt Deathbringer for killing Slaughter.[10]
