Arctic

Template:Infobox CharacterPrince Arctic was a male IceWing, the last animus of the tribe and the father of Darkstalker. He was spoken of in Winter Turning and is part of the reason for the hatred between the NightWings and IceWings. Though he loved Foeslayer, he argued with her a lot since both were patriotic about their tribes. 

Biography

Pre-Series

Instead of creating his animus gift for the IceWings, as was custom for an IceWing with animus powers, Arctic chose to run away with his NightWing lover, Foeslayer. Queen Diamond refused to accept that Prince Arctic just ran away, so she lied to the tribe about how Foeslayer wanted the animus power for her tribe, and kidnapped Arctic so they could have an animus dragonet. Because Arctic abandoned the IceWings, there were no more IceWing animus dragons in the future and the IceWings were furious at the NightWings for "stealing their last animus." There was no way to take Arctic back into the tribe because his son Darkstalker killed him.

Darkstalker (Legends)

Arctic was first introduced when Darkstalker was born. Darkstalker, after finding his father suspicious, was able to read his mind and saw blood and death in his thoughts. 

Winter Turning

Arctic is mentioned by both Winter and Foeslayer, and Foeslayer explains how she didn't steal Arctic, but fell in love with him, and that he had been in love with her, too. Winter then wonders if him and Moon would end up as badly as her and Arctic.

Escaping Peril

Although Arctic is supposedly already dead at least five centuries prior to the events of Escaping Peril, we find out in this book that Darkstalker had enchanted Arctic to obey his every command, then instructing him to disembowel himself, instead of murdering the IceWing as most believed. Moonwatcher discovers this after reading the scroll, which contains all the information about Arctic's demise.

Trivia

• Tui T. Sutherland hinted that it was possible that he was still alive.
• Even though Prince Arctic had no NightWing powers, he instructed Darkstalker on how to use his.
