Biography

Legends

Wharf was assigned to be one of Prince Fathom's bodyguards while visiting the Night Kingdom alongside Indigo and Lionfish. He was seen suspiciously eyeing Fathom and was mentioned several times for being lazy and reluctant to do his job correctly. This may have been partially the fault of the NightWings' nocturnal sleep cycle.

When Fathom and Indigo first arrived in the Night Kingdom, they found their way to their room in the NightWing palace, where they found Wharf and Lionfish already fast asleep. Indigo stated that she would have to yell at them tomorrow, inferring that they likely did not even check the suite for any sign of danger. She also stated that they were supposed to wake up whenever someone comes into the room, but Fathom explained that he knew they already hated what they were really there for.

The only notable time Wharf did his duty of guarding Fathom was after Indigo suspected that the green emerald cup Darkstalker gave Fathom was enchanted and broke it; Fathom called Wharf to see a lightning storm with him and Darkstalker instead of Indigo. He seemed confused and unhappy about the simple task.

Indigo mentioned that Wharf, along with Lionfish, most likely returned to the Kingdom of the Sea after the NightWings fled the kingdom.
