Mastermind
Template:InfoboxMastermind is a NightWing scientist and the father of Starflight. He conducted many expiriments on rainwing venom with the ultimate goal of creating full body armor capable of resisting its effects.
History
Mastermind first appears in The Dark Secret. When Morrowseer and Starflight are on a hunt, Starflight remarks that he would not have the correct antibodies to protect against the dangers of eating decayed food. Morrowseer then declares he now knows who the dragonet's father is, and takes him, along with Fatespeaker, to visit Mastermind. He is in the middle of a crisis when they arrive, and tells them to go away because Greatness threatened to shut his research down. Morrowseer informs Mastermind that Starflight is his son, at which point the other dragon calms down and first examines Starflight, and is overjoyed that he has found his son. He then begins talking about how certain traits they share were genetically dominant. He then shows the two dragonets some of the experiments he is working on, including desalinization, vulcanology, and the study of RainWing venom. In order to study the venom, 14 rainwings were brought from their homes to the Night Kingdom against their will. They were then chained up so that Mastermind could safely conduct his expiriments on them. He wanted to learn more about rainwing venom such as what it effects and what it dosn't. He learned that it can kill dragons, but it must get into either the eyes or the bloodstream to do so. He then began the construction of armor to resist the venom, but could not finish it due to being unable to find a suitable material as the eyepiece(The nightwings needed it as they they had secret plans to later leave the night kingdom and take over the Rainforest Kingdom as their new home.) However, he was so caught up in his research it never occured to him that he was torchuring the captive rainwings. He also (secretly) was working on lava-heated armor that would enable Queen Battlewinner to leave her pool of fire without freezing to death. This way, she would be able to come to the rainforest.
Before the volcano explodes, Mastermind is among the evacuating dragons. He is carrying a bundle of scrolls, and voices his worries about the RainWings hating him for what he has done to their tribe toStarflight and Tsunami. Starflight tells him to apologize to the queen and take whatever punishment she gives him, and Mastermind escapes through the rainforest portal with the rest of the NightWings.
Appearance
Mastermind supposedly resembles Starflight at least somewhat. However, he also wears an odd metal helmet to protect against the effects of RainWing venom.
Personality
Mastermind is highly intelligent, as he is a NightWing scientist. He seems to care about Starflight, and has a tendency to use long words. Just like Starflight, he gets nervous in tough situations, such as when Queen Battlewinner wants to use her armor too soon.
