- — Addax about Burn's army, The Brightest Night
Template:Charbox Addax is a male SandWing who was formerly a member of the Outclaws, a group of SandWings working against the warring SandWing sisters and keeping the Scorpion Den in order. He previously served as a soldier in Burn's army, something noted by Six-Claws in reference to his "military habits" such as calling his commanders “sir” with a shred of irritation. After betraying the Outclaws by kidnapping Sunny for Burn, it is assumed he rejoined Burn's army and reunited with his family.
Appearance
Addax has pale yellow scales like most SandWings[1]. He also has "a long scratch across one of his eyes that had also torn up part of his nose"[2], disfiguring his face, likely acquired after meeting Sunny for the first time, as she mentions that she would have remembered a scar like that. He also has a limp.
Biography
Sunny recalled seeing Addax at the feast Queen Scarlet was hosting for Burn. Sunny stated that he was a bit of a tail-kisser, as Addax was noted to bow down very low to the princess as he saw her or talked to her. He didn't have his scar then, which is why Sunny hadn't recognized him at first.
Addax first appeared in front of Six-Claws, who was escorting Sunny to Thorn, and he questioned who she was. Six-Claws dismissed him but Addax watched them until they were out of his view. Sunny thought that he looked familiar, but decided that she would have remembered his scar.
He later deliberately set a fire and claimed that there was a dragonbite viper to draw Thorn away from Sunny. While she was distracted, Addax used Ostrich, Six-Claws' daughter, as a hostage - her life in exchange for Sunny's. Addax wanted to give Sunny to Burn so she would allow him to return to her army and his family. After hearing this, Sunny agreed, but Six-Claws was reluctant to give Sunny up. Six-Claws eventually gave in, and Addax made up a lie for Six-Claws to tell Thorn, that Sunny decided she didn't want a criminal thug for a mother and ran for the hills, but Sunny protested, telling Six-Claws to tell Thorn she was visiting her friends and would be back soon. Six-Claws later told Thorn the truth, and Thorn came barging into Burn's stronghold to save Sunny.
When Addax and Sunny arrive at Burn's stronghold, Burn was out looking for "a certain quintet of dragonets", but Prince Smolder, her brother, was there. Addax told him that he wanted his reward for capturing Sunny, but Smolder told him to wait in the barracks until Burn returned. It was never revealed whether or not Addax received his reward, but he probably didn't.
When Sunny's mother, Thorn, came to rescue her, she desired to get revenge on Addax, but Sunny defended him and said that he had his reasons and that it wasn't worth it, saying "I'm alright, aren't I?".
Quotes
"Going off-duty, sir." -To Six-Claws.
"That's far enough, [...] Six-Claws. Stop where you are."
"Oh, it's not an order, [...] It's a suggestion I think you'll really want to listen to."
"The question really, [...] is which daughter do you care about more -- the alleged long-lost egg that Thorn has been searching for... or yours?" - To Six-Claws when he held Ostrich hostage.
"Don't make a mistake here, [...] My friends' tails are much closer to your dragonet than you are to me. If you attack, or even shout for help, she'll be dead in an instant. But this doesn't have to get all violent, Six-Claws. We want the dragonet of destiny. It's a simple, fair trade."
"Yes, [...] Don't make it one more." - To Six-Claws about killing dragons.
"Burn wants the dragonets pretty badly, [...] She'll take me back if I show up with one of them."
"I was thrown out of her army, but my family wasn't. There are dragons there I need to get back to." - To Six-Claws
"Doesn't have to know, [...] Tell her this one ran off. Woke up, decided she didn't want a criminal thug for a mother, and flew for the hills."
"If he tells her the truth, Thorn is likely to get herself killed trying to rescue you, [...] Would you prefer that?"
"You won't be."
"No, [...] She flies with us until we have an hour's head start, and then I'll send her back."
"Shallow breaths, [...] You get used to it."
"Ho there."- To a sentry at Burn’s Stronghold.
"Brought a present for the queen, [...] Recognize this one?"
"And now I've found her and I'm giving her to the queen."
"Yes, [...] So stop delaying and let us through, all right?"
"Smolder, [...] I've brought a gift for Queen Burn."
"Where is Queen Burn?"
"Wait, [...] I want to see her-- I mean, this is my prisoner-- she's one of the ones in the prophecy--"
"But... my reward..." - About bringing Sunny to Burn.
Trivia
- An addax is a breed of desert antelope that has a stumpy body.
- The addax is also called the white antelope and the screwhorn antelope.
- Addax may have gotten his scar from Burn as she tends to harm the soldiers who defy her, but this is not confirmed.
- Addax was mentioned by Sunny as being one of the soldiers who went with Burn to the Sky Kingdom for Queen Scarlet's hatching day party.
- He was also thought by Sunny to have been "bowing and scraping behind Burn" when Burn was inspecting Sunny in the Sky Kingdom.
- When the war started, he and his family were soldiers for Burn; however, it is unclear how he got to the Scorpion Den and what occurred after the events of The Brightest Night.
