Slaughter
- "I've been asking for years to kill some one."
- — Slaughter, wanting to be an assassin.
Slaughter was a NightWing guard, and the cousin of Vengeance. He was killed by Deathbringer as part of a deal.
Quickstrike made a deal with Princess Greatness and Morrowseer. If her son Deathbringer could kill Slaughter or Vengeance, he could go to the continent with her.
Deathbringer decided immediately to kill Slaughter, because killing Vengeance was too risky. While Slaughter was sleeping, Deathbringer crept up on him and prepared to kill Slaughter. However, Morrowseer woke him up and immediately warned him of the incoming assassination attempt. Deathbringer still managed to sneak up and kill Slaughter when Morrowseer wasn't looking.
Though it was his job, Deathbringer still felt remorse for killing the fellow NightWing.
Slaughter's murder most likely caused the rivalry between Deathbringer and Vengeance shown in The Dark Secret.
