Sirocco
- "I want a ruby inna middle of my forehead! Can you do that?"
- — Sirocco to Ostrich, Darkness of Dragons
Sirocco is a male SandWing who was introduced in Darkness of Dragons. His last known location was the Scorpion Den, and he is a member of the Talons of Power.
Appearance
Sirocco is big[1] and burly[2]. Like all members of the Talons of Power, he wears a black hood and a gold medallion etched with the image of a vulture[3]. He has three dragon skull tattoos marching down his neck and a brusque, gravelly voice[4]. Either he or Rattlesnake looks a lot like Qibli[5].
Personality
Sirocco is shown to be clumsy, thug-like, and intellectually weak, in contrast to Qibli. He also seems to have a speech impediment. Sirocco is very whiny and demanding, as well as immature. Qibli mentioned that Pyrrhia would be much better off if Sirocco was locked up where he could not hurt anyone.[6]
Biography
The Dragonet Prophecy
Qibli describes Rattlesnake and Sirocco as "a pair of dung-snorting hippo heads who'd rather stab [Qibli] with their tails than share so much as a fig with him" when Sunny asked Qibli if he had any siblings.
The Jade Mountain Prophecy
Moonwatcher sees Rattlesnake and Sirocco in frequently in Qibli's thoughts, using her mind-reading abilities. She also had a vision about Qibli fighting Rattlesnake and Sirocco, with an older male dragon (Vulture) glowering at him as well, with Qibli shouting, "Where is she?" referring to Cobra, his mother.
After Winter saves Qibli, Moon, and Kinkajou by breathing frostbreath at a flaming scavenger projectile, Qibli comments that his family probably would have shoved him into the projectile fired, rather than saved him.
Two SandWings are shown buying dragonflame cacti from a SkyWing vendor. It was confirmed by Tui they were Sirocco and Rattlesnake collecting the cacti for Vulture.
In the prologue, a group of dragons, likely including Sirocco and Rattlesnake, terrified the SandWing tribe by setting off dragonflame cacti in different places throughout the Sand Kingdom.
Sirocco and Rattlesnake appear at their and Qibli's old home to take him and Winter to Vulture.
Sirocco is shown constantly at Rattlesnake's side. Rattlesnake comments that he is a meathead who gives their family a bad name due to his clumsiness and lack of brains. He and Rattlesnake are defeated by their mother and nearly killed before Qibli convinces her to spare them. Sirocco is bound and gagged, then left behind in Vulture's compound with his unconscious sister.
