| ~ Morrowseer |
Morrowseer is one of the main antagonists of the first Wings of Fire series. He is a physically imposing NightWing who is in charge of making sure the Dragonet Prophecy goes the way he wants.
Physical Description
Morrowseer is described as massive, larger than any other dragon in the series (aside from Darkstalker.) He has pitch-black scales with a light grey underbelly. He has a long, thick snout with sharp, yellowed teeth.
His claws were long and sharpened, and the star patterns on his wing membranes spiral inwards, like a snail shell. His voice is deep and rumbly.
Personality
Morrowseer was seen as manipulative and did not seem to care about how many dragons died for his cause. He only cared about his tribe and reputation, considering himself and the NightWings as superior to others. He was shown to be narcissistic, snobbish, and heartless, and would have killed every other tribe in Pyrrhia in order to protect the NightWings. He was also deceitful, lying to thousands of dragons about the Dragonet Prophecy without any remorse. He was very intelligent and cunning, although very loyal to his tribe. He is also determined to achieve his goals, and will do whatever it takes - this includes murdering dragonets, on several occasions.
Biography
Morrowseer was born on the NightWing island. At some point, he fathered an egg with a dragon named Secretkeeper, although to his knowledge, the egg was broken before it was laid.
After the first eruption of the NightWing Island's volcano, Morrowseer and Queen Battlewinner wrote The Dragonet Prophecy, intending to use it to steal the rainforest from the RainWings by taking advantage of the War of SandWing Succession. He personally "delivered" the prophecy and gave Starflight and Fatespeaker to the Talons of Peace movement, to whom he then remained a close ally. Morrowseer also spoke to Thorn after she fought with her secret NightWing lover, Stonemover, blaming her for being responsible for Stonemover's fate.

Eighteen years after "delivering" the Prophecy, Morrowseer came to inspect the dragonets after a note saying that "Morrowseer is coming" was sent to the guardians of the dragonets. He was angry about Glory, the RainWing dragonet who served as a replacement for the SkyWing whose egg was smashed, and ordered her to be killed. Sunny, Clay, and Tsunami fought him as part of a test. Later, he had a private talk with Starflight and left. He later led a squadron of NightWings that massacred all eight of the IceWing prisoners in Scarlet's arena and took Starflight. While they hid in the mountains and watched the dragonets of destiny travel to a MudWing village, Morrowseer instructed the young NightWing to convince the other dragonets to side with Blister. He then returned him to the other Dragonets. Afterward, he met with Blister and promised to help her become queen. When Kestrel arrived at the meeting, Morrowseer and Blister agreed that she was a danger to the plan and that they would have to kill her, and then did so, with Princess Blister first slashing her throat then stabbing her in the heart with her venomous tail barb. Morrowseer later met with Nautlius, the leader of the Talons of Peace, and Blister. They discussed the backup plan that would take place if the original dragonets of destiny were faulty. |

Morrowseer is later seen with Nautilus discussing the backup plan and observing the false dragonets during the prologue. Squid is the only dragonet who actually talks to Morrowseer and complains that he wants gold and jewels. Morrowseer is furious that the Talons failed to raise the dragonets to be obedient. He takes over their training and decides to bring them to the Night Island.
