Gill

Template:Infobox Gill was the mate of Queen Coral and the former king of the SeaWings. He was killed by his own daughter, Tsunami, in the SkyWing Arena, before she was aware of their relationship.

Appearance

Gill was a large, powerful SeaWing with pea-green scales and green eyes. In the arena, he was driven insane from lack of water, with bloodshot eyes and a purple, swollen tongue. His snout was flecked with blood as if he'd tried to drink it. To Clay, he looked completely insane.

Pre-Series

Gill led the SeaWing army in the Great War. During one mission, he was captured, and brought to Queen Scarlet's arena. He refused to fight for her amusement, and attempted to start a prisoner revolution. For this, he was deprived of any drinking water for months, driving him to insanity.

The Dragonet Prophecy

Gill was pitted against Tsunami when Scarlet captured the dragonets of destiny. By this point he had lost all sanity, and was little more then a rabid animal. Tsunami defeated Gill without killing him, which caused Queen Scarlet to mock her. In retaliation, she snapped his neck and stare at Scarlet with an expression that said "I'm imagining this is you."

The Lost Heir

After finding out that he had been taken to the arena and subsequently killed, Coral wondered why he would fight, saying that he would have simply talked the other dragon out of attacking. Tsunami then explained that Gill had been punished for doing so, and that Queen Scarlet had taken away his water until he became dehydrated and driven mad. Tsunami later became overwhelmed with guilt, even though she tried to convince herself that it wasn't her fault, and that if she hadn't killed him, he would have killed her. Queen Coral was extremely saddened after the death of Gill, and dismissed her council to mourn over his death.

The Dark Secret

When Starflight went into Tsunami's dream with his dreamvisitor, he saw her strangling the skeleton shape of Gill. Anemone then arrived, and Tsunami tried explaining that she'd had no choice in killing their father. Anemone then strangled Gill herself while Tsunami was trying to hold her back. That was when Starflight decided to go out of her nightmare and find another dragon's dream.

Personality

Little is known about his personality, though Coral recounted to Tsunami that he was the perfect dragon to be king. He was smart, strong, of a noble family, and persuasive. He was also gentle, and never wish to kill others.
