Biography

Pre-Series

In his youth, Osprey guarded countless tons of treasure. One day, a scavenger came to steal it and managed to paralyze his tail before he ate it. Osprey lost the ability to fly, and gave all of his treasure to Queen Scarlet in exchange for residence in the SkyWing Palace. He served as the defense on SkyWing trials, but usually made very poor arguments to avoid being beheaded by the queen.

He later became a friend and mentor to Peril after her mother, Kestrel, was forced to abandon her. Osprey told her many stories of his youth. He was assumed the one to have told Peril about the Champion's Shield, since Peril said it wasn't his fault that she knew.

The Dragonet Prophecy

Osprey served for the defense during Kestrel's trial. He explained the circumstances of how Queen Scarlet forced Kestrel to kill one of her twin dragonets before changing her mind and forcing Kestrel to leave her surviving child behind. Scarlet decided to kill Osprey along with Kestrel, but Peril intervened and called upon the tradition of the Champion's Shield for her mother. After Scarlet discovered that Osprey told her about the SkyWing traditions, she dropped him high above the arena, breaking many bones. He soon died of his wounds.
