Slaughter

"I've been asking for someone to kill for ages."

— Slaughter, to Morrowseer in Assassin.

Template:Charbox Slaughter was a male NightWing guard and a cousin to Vengeance. He was killed by Deathbringer as part of a deal that would let Deathbringer leave the Night Kingdom with his mother.

Biography

Assassin

Quickstrike made a deal with Princess Greatness and Morrowseer; If her son, Deathbringer, could kill Slaughter or Vengeance, he could go to the continent with her.

Deathbringer decided immediately to kill Slaughter, because killing Vengeance was too risky as he was surrounded by witnesses. While Slaughter was sleeping, Deathbringer crept up on him and prepared to kill him. However, Morrowseer woke him up (without seeing Deathbringer) and immediately warned Slaughter of the incoming assassination attempt. Deathbringer still managed to sneak up and kill Slaughter while Morrowseer was leading him out of the room.

Slaughter's murder most likely caused the rivalry between Deathbringer and Vengeance shown in The Dark Secret. Morrowseer once suggested Quickstrike to train Slaughter or Vengeance instead of Deathbringer.
