Biography
Vermilion, although unnamed at the time, was the announcer for the fight between Horizon and Peril. Later on, Vermilion stood as the prosecutor on Kestrel's trial. The next day, he announced the battles on his mother's hatching day. Tsunami almost attacked him before her fight with Gill. Then he announced for Clay's battle against Fjord.
According to the Collector's Edition, Smolder had sent Vermilion a letter about his pet scavenger, Flower, and how to take care for one. The letter explained how to protect your scavenger, as someone would eat it "by accident" or no, to protect your belongings, and what to feed it and to supply water daily. Smolder ends the letter wanting Vermilion to send him a picture of his when he got it, and comments on the picture Flower drew of him and her.
The same letter that Smolder wrote to Vermilion in The Brightest Night is in the end of Winter Turning.
