| '''Vengeance''' was a scarred male [[NightWing]] with a rasping, wet, and hoarse voice{{Ref|TDS|19}}. He was shoved into a lava pool for disobeying the [[Queen Battlewinner|NightWing Queen]]'s orders in ''[[The Dark Secret (Book)|The Dark Secret]]'', but it took some time for him to fully die. [[Starflight]] notes that he thrashed around until his body sank to the bottom of the lava pool, showing that NightWings have at least some resistance to fire (much like [[Clay]] and other fire resistant [[MudWings]]).
| |
| | |
| ==Appearance==
| |
| Vengeance was said to be deep black, with several melted scales{{Ref|TDS|19}} and bubbles of flesh along his jawline{{Ref|TDS|19}}. His snout was transfigured by a long scar caused by [[Ex-Queen Splendor|Queen Splendor]]'s venom{{Ref|TDS|19}} that melted one nostril entirely shut. According to [[Fierceteeth]], he was ugly even before the accident.
| |
| | |
| ==Personality==
| |
| Vengeance was a very aggressive and cold individual. He rarely spoke, and used intimidation on any captured RainWings. He was rather cruel, angry, and vengeful (hence the name), hating all RainWings for what one's venom did to his snout. That RainWing was later confirmed to be Splendor. He also seemed to care about his cousin, as he held a grudge against [[Deathbringer]] for killing Slaughter.

| | |
| ==Biography==
| |
| ===The Dragonet Prophecy===
| |
| ====''[[The Hidden Kingdom (Book)|The Hidden Kingdom]]''====
| |
| It was mentioned early in the book that RainWings were missing, including Queen Splendor. When the [[Dragonets of Destiny|dragonets]] were searching for [[Orchid]], they found a dying sloth with a nasty bite on it. Later, they heard something out at night that sounded like a monster. They heard bones crunching, then they found that the sloth was gone. Vengeance was the kidnapper of [[Glory]] and Queen Splendor. He is mentioned, though not by name, when Glory is taken to the NightWing Island. During his attempt to capture Splendor, she accidentally sprayed him with her venom, scarring his face and giving him an intense hatred for all RainWings.
| |
| | |
| ====''[[The Dark Secret (Book)|The Dark Secret]]''====
| |
| He interrupted the council meeting where Starflight was being interrogated about the RainWings' plan. He then claimed that he knew more about RainWings than anyone else. [[Greatness]] accused him of disobeying orders by kidnapping Glory, even after Deathbringer had warned them not to. He rebuffed by explaining how Deathbringer allowed Clay to pass through the tunnel and had Deathbringer arrested. However, Queen Battlewinner decided that Vengeance must be executed for capturing Glory, and he was thrown into a lava pool. Vengeance struggled to escape, but the guards used spears to keep him submerged until he eventually burned to death. Later, Starflight wondered about [[Ex-Queen Scarlet|Queen Scarlet]] and how she could still be alive, as Glory's venom didn't hit her directly in her eyes. He noted that if she was alive, she would probably look like Vengeance.
| |
| | |
| ====''[[The Brightest Night (Book)|The Brightest Night]]''====
| |
| When Fierceteeth, [[Strongwings]], and [[Preyhunter]] were watching Queen Glory and Deathbringer, Preyhunter snarled - ''" I knew it," "I knew Vengeance was right about him. Deathbringer is a traitor."''
| |
| ----
| |
| ===Winglets===
| |
| ====''[[Prisoners]]''====
| |
| Fierceteeth mentioned him when explaining that no one knew what [[RainWings]] could do, as it was not in any scrolls. Fierceteeth also mentioned that he was ugly even before he got sprayed in the face with venom.
| |
| | |
| ====''[[Assassin]]''====
| |
| Vengeance was one of the two dragons [[Deathbringer]] had to choose from to kill, in order to get permission to leave the [[NightWing Island]]. When Deathbringer tracked him down to assassinate him, he was unable to check if Vengeance was sleeping in his cave or not due to two other dragons playing a game in the entranceway. Because of this, Deathbringer decided to kill Vengeance's cousin, [[Slaughter]], instead. This was likely what brought Vengeance's hatred of Deathbringer as seen in ''The Dark Secret''.
