- — About the attack on Bloodworm Hive
Template:Charbox Pokeweed is a male LeafWing who appears in the prologue of The Poison Jungle. Along with Hemlock and Bryony, he helps orchestrate The Bombing of Bloodworm Hive.
Biography
Pokeweed appeared reviewing the plan for the attack on Bloodworm Hive, staring grimly off into space. He complained about Sundew not arriving to help, and stated that maybe they should wait for her arrival. He seemed to be very smug about showing Grayling what plants to use for the burning, before Bryony volunteered to show him instead.
Personality
Pokeweed is described as stoic and boring by Bryony, and annoying by Hemlock. He is noted to have a deep and slow voice, and speaks lugubriously. He also tends to repeat his sentences, but in a different format.
Relationships
Pokeweed doubted Hemlock's plan, and expressed that he would rather wait to get extra help from Sundew.
The two are somewhat competitive with each other, even in stealth operations. Pokeweed's opinion of Bryony is not known, but he tries to not notice her.
Pokeweed seemed eager to show off the plants for burning to the young SilkWing, likely to keep him from Bryony.
Pokeweed thinks highly of the young LeafWing, stating multiple times that they should wait for her before implementing the plan.
