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 order for him to live in the SkyWing Palace. He served as the defense on SkyWing trials, but usually made very poor arguments to avoid being executed by the queen.
He later became a friend and mentor to Peril after her mother was forced to abandon her. Osprey told her many stories of his youth.
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. He later died of his wounds.
