Eagle (WT)

"How dare you? I would never be friends with an IceWing! Is this a joke? Did someone pay you to make a fool out of me?"

— Eagle to Hailstorm, Winter Turning

(Not to be confused with Eagle, a historical SkyWing ambassador featured in Darkstalker (Legends).) Template:Charbox Eagle is a male SkyWing soldier that Prince Hailstorm, under the disguise of Pyrite, befriended during the War of SandWing Succession. He is described as being large and pinkish-red, the color of raw tuna. Hailstorm, confused due to having memories from Pyrite, tries to say hello to him and greets him like a friend, as Pyrite and Eagle had fought together during the war. Eagle is disgusted by this and nearly chokes him before Meerkat comes by and orders him to stop by order of the Enclave. Eagle then relaxes, and buys Qibli's explanation that Hailstorm was hit on the head in battle.

Personality

Eagle seems to be bad-tempered, as shown when he growled at Winter and Qibli. He also seemed to quickly judge dragons, since he thought that Hailstorm, while confused, was playing a joke on him for money. However, Eagle was also shown to have a small sympathetic side, as he seemed to show a little pity when Qibli told them that Hailstorm was a friend and that he had a "head injury.” However, he may also have been faking it, as he seems to hate IceWings and may just have wanted to escape trouble from Meerkat.

Biography

Winter Turning

While Winter, Qibli, and Hailstorm were waiting outside Mayfly's shop in Possibility, a group of SkyWings passed by. Hailstorm, in a state of confusion after being Pyrite for so long, called out to Eagle, along with two other SkyWing war veterans, remembering how they and Pyrite fought together in the war. Eagle reacted in rage, thinking that Hailstorm was mocking him. He grabbed Hailstorm by the throat, and was only stopped from strangling him by Meerkat, who told him to stop "by order of the Enclave". Eagle immediately dropped Hailstorm, apologizing profusely, and stating that he had seen many head injuries from the war, before departing from the watching crowd.
