Trout

Template:SpoilerDragonslayer

"Are you seriously going to listen to the mad ramblings of a bitter teenager? Everyone knows teenagers are melodramatic and hysterical. Especially the girls."

— Trout to the Villagers of Talisman

Template:Charbox Master Trout is a male scavenger appearing in Dragonslayer. He is a dragonmancer from Talisman.

Appearance

Trout is described as old and pale, and has a receding chin that Wren notes makes him look like "a smug turtle".

Personality

He is shown to be greedy and unempathetic, as he killed one of the original dragonmancers so he could get a bigger share of the treasure they and their apprentices stole. He is also a liar, having manipulated the entire town of Talisman to believe he and the dragonmancers had visions of the dragons’ will, which he used to sacrifice anyone he didn’t like or to gain more power from the dragon-fearing villagers.

Biography

Dragonslayer

Master Trout first appeared during the Gift for the Dragons ceremony over Wren, although only mentioned as "the smug one who always ate all the goat cheese at village celebrations". Master Trout was briefly mentioned by Wren when she thought back to them choosing her as a sacrifice to the dragons because she kicked him in the shins when he scolded her.
