Nautilus
Nautilus is a SeaWing and the leader of the Talons of Peace. Squid is his son and only known relative, who used to be one of the false dragonets, yet chose to quit and was exiled by Morrowseer. He is green with black spiral patterns on his scales.
Biography
Nautilus first appears in the prologue of The Lost Heir. He and Cirrus confront Webs at the entrance to the underground river and try to kill him, claiming that Webs had failed them by letting The Dragonets of Destiny escape. However, a Talons of Peace infiltrator, unknown at the time, named Crocodile, knocked Nautilus and Cirrus out so Webs can get away.
Nautilus appears again in the epilogue, where Morrowseer has him explain the concept of The False Dragonets to Blister, who approves.
In the prologue, he, Morrowseer, and The False Dragonets are at the Talons of Peace camp. Morrowseer tells Nautilus that he would be taking the False Dragonets to an unknown location, later revealed to be the Night Kingdom, to train.
Nautilus appears in the epilogue of The Dark Secret. He and his son, Squid, encounter Blister as she is waiting to meet with Morrowseer. When Morrowseer does not show up, Blister says that it must be the dragonets' fault.
Tsunami, Sunny, and Ochre travel to the Talons of Peace camp to ask him to deliver a message to Blister. However, Ochre is approached by Nautilus, Riptide, a SandWing noted to possibly be Viper's uncle, an IceWing (probably Cirrus), and Avalanche. Much to her annoyance, Nautilus flashes a message toward Tsunami, which Sunny translates as a suggestion to land.
Tsunami questions Riptide's decision to rejoin the Talons, and he explains that Queen Coral had thrown him out of the Kingdom of the Sea, and that he was hoping the Talons would know were the dragonets had gone. Nautilus coldly remarks that they had no clue, and Riptide quickly introduces him as the leader of the Talons, to prevent an argument between him and Tsunami. Avalanche replies that Nautilus was the leader "for now," hinting at her dislike of the SeaWing, and asks where the rest of the False Dragonets are.
The IceWing notices the arrival of another dragon, who Avalanche recognizes as her son, Flame. After seeing the slash across the dragonet's face, Nautilus comments that he's not sure if he wants to know what happened to the others, and so Sunny tells him that Fatespeaker is fine, they don't know what happened to Squid, and that Viper had died in the Night Kingdom.
Sunny then tells him that she needs them to convey a message to Blister. Although he talks as if he is indecisive and unwilling to help, Sunny notices that he is excited about finally ending the war.
Personality
Nautilus is very overprotective of Squid. He is terrified of Morrowseer and Blister.
