Template:Infobox Osprey was an elder among the SkyWings, nearly blind, with washed-out red scales and a paralyzed tail, serving as the defense for the SkyWing trials.
He didn't argue very well, most likely because Queen Scarlet would have executed him if she didn't get her way. Queen Scarlet holds the trials (only to SkyWings) to make her image appear fair and just, but the trials' main purpose was to entertain her.
Osprey was also the only friend of Peril, the daughter of Kestrel.
History
Osprey told Peril stories of his younger self, such as the times when he guarded countless tons of treasure. One day, a scavenger came to steal it and managed to paralyze his tail before he ate it. Osprey has lost the ability to fly, and gave all his treasure to Queen Scarlet, in order for him to live in the SkyWing Palace.
Years later, during Kestrel's trial, (against Vermilion, Scarlet's son) he had argued a good defense. He explained that Kestrel had followed Queen Scarlet's order to kill one of the twins, and that the remaining would be spared. However, Queen Scarlet then changed her mind and told her guards - one of them being Osprey - to kill Peril and take Kestrel back for a trial. Kestrel escaped, evading a trial until she was captured when Clay's plan accidentally led the Queen Scarlet to their cave.
Back at the trial, the SkyWing Queen decided Kestrel was still guilty, and ordered Osprey to be executed for boring her, along with Kestrel. Peril called upon the tradition of the Champion's Shield, and stood for Kestrel, her mother. After Queen Scarlet discovered that Osprey told her about the SkyWing traditions, she dropped him high above the arena, and as he could not fly, he was dragged by the useless weight of his tail, and fell to the arena floor. Peril attempted to save him, but could not help as touching him would have injured him further. He later died of his wounds.
