Tempest
- "Well, son of a starfish."
- — Tempest's last words, Assassin
Tempest was an adult female SeaWing who was introduced in Assassin. She was a commander of the SeaWing army under Coral, and she was killed by Deathbringer during a diplomatic meeting with several MudWing leaders. Her death ultimately caused the MudWings to leave Blister's alliance and join Burn's army.
Appearance
Tempest was enormous and powerfully built, with turquoise scales. She was described as being as large as Morrowseer, with broad shoulders, gleaming teeth, and a healing burn scar on her neck. She had a long trident strapped to her back.[1] She had a big, jovial voice[2] and a startling, booming bark of a laugh.[3]
Personality
Tempest is stoic yet cheerful. She brings a jovial yet determined attitude to war planning, as seen when she jokes around with Gill, Swamp and Blister during their meeting. She seems to take pride in serving her tribe and queen, and enjoys fighting. She is informal and unafraid of her superiors, talking informally to her king and commanders.
Tempest was also quite intelligent and an expert in battle strategy. According to the NightWings, with her help Blister's side could win the war in a week. She was one of the top-ranked officials in the SeaWing army. However, she does not revel in killing, and seemed excited about the prospect of ending the war peacefully.
Biography
The Dragonet Prophecy
Deathbringer mentions her indirectly to Starflight when he asks if Starflight noticed that if a side was winning the war, her top general would disappear, indirectly mentioning the death of Commander Tempest.
Winglets
Commander Tempest arrived at Blister's secret camp along with King Gill and Piranha, the council member in charge of warfare. They met with several MudWing officials, including General Swamp, to formulate battle strategies and plans. After a full day of planning, they were leaving when a MudWing spear thrown by Deathbringer pierced Tempest's heart, killing her. Her last words were "Well, son of a starfish," as she fell to the ground, dead.
