"You'd get fame and power, if you did what you were told, that is."
— Morrowseer explaining to the false dragonets.

Template:Infobox Character Morrowseer was a very large, black male NightWing, with silver scales dappling the underside of his wings that curl inwards "like a snail's shell", casting a cold, silver glow. He was also the "prophet" that wrote the Dragonet Prophecy, which spoke of the Dragonets of Destiny, who would save Pyrrhia. This Prophecy was in fact, false. However, the prophecy still came true in the end, in a way Morrowseer hadn't intended it to.

Biography

Pre-Series

After the Night Kingdom's volcano erupted for the first time, Morrowseer and Queen Battlewinner wrote the Dragonet Prophecy. They intended for it to be a way for the NightWings to gain the RainWing's rainforest on the continent of Pyrrhia by taking advantage of the great war. He personally delivered the prophecy, and gave the eggs of Starflight and later, Fatespeaker, to the Talons of Peace, to whom he then remained a close ally. Morrowseer also spoke to Thorn after she had fought with her secret lover, Stonemover, an animus NightWing. He told Thorn that she was responsible for Stonemover's fate.

The Dragonet Prophecy

Sixteen years after speaking the Prophecy, Morrowseer came to inspect the dragonets after writing a note that said 'Morrowseer is coming" sent to Webs, Kestrel, and Dune. He was angry about Glory, the RainWing dragonet who served as a replacement for the SkyWing presumed to be deceased, and ordered her to be killed. Sunny, Clay, and Tsunami fought him, and Morrowseer approved of Clay, Starflight, and Tsunami before looking at Sunny and saying "Well, ... we'll have to see about you," had a talk with Starflight, and left; with the aftermath being the escape attempt and therefore the capture by Queen Scarlet. He led a squadron of NightWings that massacred all eight of the IceWing prisoners in Scarlet's arena and took Starflight to Queen Scarlet's annoyance. Morrowseer instructed the young NightWing to side with Blister, and to become the leader of the other dragonets before returning him to the group. Afterwards, he met with Blister in the Kingdom of the Sea, and promised to help her become queen. When Kestrel arrived at the meeting, Morrowseer and Blister agreed to kill her, and they did.

The Lost Heir

In the epilogue, Morrowseer meets with Nautilus and Blister after the destruction of the Summer Palace of the Sea. Blister complains about how annoying the dragonets are, even though Morrowseer thought they had potential. Together, they offered her the false dragonets as her means of becoming queen, once they eliminate the other dragonets of destiny.

The Hidden Kingdom

Morrowseer was seen with Nautilus, discussing the backup plan and observing the false dragonets during the prologue. Squid was the only dragonet who actually talked to Morrowseer and complained that he wanted gold and jewels. He also said Morrowseer was 'nonagoshabibble.' He was not proud of the Talons for failing to raise them obediently. He takes over training them, and brings them to the Night Kingdom for training and disciplining.

The Dark Secret

Morrowseer ordered the kidnap of Starflight and brought him to the Night Kingdom. He expressed great displeasure in Starflight's failure to bring the dragonets to Blister's side, and chastises him for lacking any NightWing superiority. He also introduced Starflight to his father, Mastermind, and showed him how NightWings hunted.

After introducing Starflight to the false dragonets, he ordering them to kill Starflight. This was both to test the new dragonet's abilities, and to see if Starflight was worth keeping. It ended with Starflight surviving, and Flame and Ochre being arrested by NightWing guards and imprisoned for a night.

The next day, he sent Starflight and the false dragonets to convince some SkyWing guards to switch to Blister's side. When the mission failed, he ordered NightWing guards to burn the fort down and afterwards sent away Squid after the dragonet complained about how much he hated the training.

Later, he announced that they were going to train for battle, and told Ochre and Flame to fight, saying he would step in when necessary. When Ochre was clawed by Flame and asked to stop, Morrowseer removed the MudWing and threw Fatespeaker into the fight. Viper quickly joined in, and the two proceeded to chase Fatespeaker, who called to Starflight to help her. Starflight joined the battle and knocked Viper off of Fatespeaker, but the SandWing's barb sliced across Flame's face, who accidentally pushed her into the lava river. Morrowseer showed no grief at Viper's death, but was horrified at Flame's injuries as the SkyWing was the only dragonet he couldn't replace due to the real one being lost years ago.


Soon after, Morrowseer attended an official meeting between the NightWings. Greatness announced that the NightWings would enter the rainforest at midnight, and kill all of the RainWings. However, the plan failed when Queen Glory led her RainWings into the Night Kingdom and then killed Queen Battlewinner.

After the attack, he attempted to stop Starflight, Tsunami, Sunny, and Clay from leaving, and revealed to them that the prophecy was fake. Sunny was distraught over this, and fled through the portal. Morrowseer took a step forward as if to follow her, but was stopped by Starflight and Fatespeaker. After he remarked that he had all of the dragonets he wanted to kill in one place, the volcano erupted, and Morrowseer was last seen being swallowed by the inferno.

Morrowseer had supposedly been killed by the explosion, as mentioned in The Brightest Night. But, in Winter Turning a dead dragon, witch is now just a shape of ashes is seen in front of the portal right where Marrowseer was standing when the volcano erupted; making most likely that Marrowseer is dead.

Moon Rising

Morrowseer is mentioned in the prologue, when Secretkeeper regrets not being able to tell him about Moonwatcher's egg, but knows he's too traditionalist to accept her being raised outside the tribe. Moonwatcher later mentions hearing his name in Secretkeeper's mind, and you are informed that Morrowseer is, in fact, Moon's father.

Assassin

Morrowseer first appears in Assassin as Queen Battlewinner's "most trusted advisor", and is arguing with Quickstrike about whether or not to let Deathbringer go on the mission. They agree to let him go on the condition that he must assassinate either Slaughter or Vengeance, two full-grown NightWings. Later, he is seen ushering Slaughter out of his cave and telling him to kill Deathbringer before he can kill Slaughter, but fails when Deathbringer kills Slaughter. At the end of the book, Morrowseer meets with Deathbringer to send the young dragon on a mission to kill Six-Claws, a SandWing general in Burn's army.
