'''Commander Tempest''' was a female [[SeaWings|SeaWing]] and a commander in the 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, [[Commander Piranha|Piranha]]. To prevent [[Princess Blister|Blister]] from winning the [[War of SandWing Succession|war]] easily and thwarting the [[NightWings|NightWings']] plans, [[Deathbringer]] killed Tempest by throwing a [[MudWings|MudWing]] spear into her heart to destabilize Blister's army and wreak havoc.

'''Tempest''' was an adult female [[SeaWing]] who was introduced in ''[[Assassin]]''. She was a commander of the SeaWing army under [[Queen Coral]], until she was killed by [[Deathbringer]] during a diplomatic meeting with several [[MudWing]] leaders. Her death ultimately caused the MudWings to leave [[Blister]]'s alliance and join [[Burn]]'s army, due to making the SeaWings lose trust in their allies.


Unfortunately, Quickstrike was struck by lightning upon discovering the camp, so Deathbringer had to complete the mission alone. He waited out the night and the morning until the SeaWing army arrived. Among them were Commander Tempest, Gill, Piranha, and about twenty other SeaWings. Deathbringer saw her and was immediately intimidated, thinking, "''Holy mother of lava, I'm supposed to kill THAT?''<ref>''Assassin'', page 21</ref>". Tempest was talking out a peace strategy along with Gill, as she did not want the war to drag on longer.
== Description ==
Tempest was towering,{{Ref|W2q|70}} enormous, and powerfully built, with turquoise scales. She was described to be as big as [[Morrowseer]], with broad shoulders, gleaming teeth, and a healing burn scar on her neck. She had a [[Weapons|trident]] longer than Deathbringer strapped to her back,{{Ref|W2q|69}} and a booming,{{Ref|W2q|72}} big, jovial voice. She had a startling, booming bark of a laugh.{{Ref|W2q|70}}


Tempest asked all the dragons on the beach to lay down their weapons in the sand. The troops followed her command, but Deathbringer managed to snatch a MudWing spear. He threw it and it pierced her heart, giving the unsuspecting Tempest mere moments to live. She uttered her last words, "Well, son of a starfish", and hit the beach "like a slow avalanche<ref>''Assassin'', page 24</ref>." Gill sobbed heavily and Piranha shrieked in rage at the sight of her fallen commander<ref>''Assassin'', page 24</ref>.
== Personality ==
Tempest was loud,{{Ref|W2q|77}} intelligent, and fearless.{{Ref|W2q|58}} She was influential among the SeaWings{{Ref|W2q|67}} and appeared to be well-liked among her tribe.{{Ref|W2q|77}}


The dragons on the beach went into a state of panic, especially when they saw the note Deathbringer left behind, which read:
