Osprey

Template:Infobox Osprey was a nearly blind, pale red elderly SkyWing who was the defense for the Skywing trials, though he didn't do it very well, most likely because Queen Scarlet chose him to do defense because he wasn't very good. Queen Scarlet holds the trials to seem like a just ruler, as well as for entertainment. He was also Peril's (Kestrel's daughter) friend.

History

Osprey told Peril stories of his younger self, when he guarded countless tons of treasure. A scavenger came to steal it one day and managed to paralyze his tail before he ate it. Osprey could no longer fly and gave all his treasure to Queen Scarlet in order for him to live there.

Unfortunately, during Kestrel's trial, (Against Vermillion, Scarlet's son,) he argued a good defense. He explained that Kestrel had followed Queen Scarlet's next 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. However, Kestrel escaped, evading a trial until she was captured when the Clay's plan accidentally led Scarlet to the 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 calls upon the tradition of the Champion's Shield, and stands for Kestrel, her mother. Queen Scarlet discovers that Osprey told her about the Skywing law, and drops him high above the arena, killing him.
