The Hidden Kingdom

He organized and ran the tournament between the current RainWing queens and Glory's team, consisting of Mangrove, Kinkajou, Jambu, and Tamarin.

He brought up his past, in which Grandeur was challenged by many RainWings for the throne and had beat them easily numerous times.

He stated that he was displeased by the queen's deceitful actions during the tournament, although he did nothing to stop them since it was not technically against the rules. Handsome said this when he realized that Magnificent had won the camouflaging contest by scaring Glory's sloth, Silver, and Handsome stated that Magnificent did not win the match "by spirit." When Glory was announced as the new queen of the RainWings, Handsome was among the dragons who congratulated her.
