Mandrake was trying to kill a panther while his father, Wolfsbane, and his sister, Nettle, watched. He was extremely nervous and kept panicking before he could seize his opportunity.

When Sundew appeared, he seemed happy to see her, though he was visibly disappointed that his sister's suspicions that Sundew killed the panther were confirmed. Mandrake offered to stay with Sundew and her friends while his father and sister alerted Commander Belladonna of their presence. While he was with them, he informed the group that he was Sundew's fiancé.
