'''Commander Tempest''' was a female [[SeaWings|SeaWing]] and a commander in the [[SeaWings|SeaWing]] army. She appeared in the second book in the Winglets series, ''[[Assassin]]'', and seemed to have a close relationship to [[King Gill]] and her third-in-command, [[Piranha]]. She was enormous, described to be as big as [[Morrowseer]], and she carried a trident as large as [[Deathbringer]] himself. To prevent [[Blister]] from winning the war easily and thwarting the [[NightWings]]' plans, Deathbringer killed Tempest by throwing a [[MudWings|MudWing]] spear into her heart to destabilize Blister's army.
