Changes: Vermilion

Revision as of 13:08, 31 August 2016

"Your Majesty, the facts are clear. You gave an order. Kestrel disobeyed you and fled the kingdom. She has been living under your mountains for the last seven years, aiding and abetting the Talons of Peace, who also refuse to follow Your Majesty's orders. She deserves a long, painful execution. There is no need to drag this trial out."

— Vermilion during Kestrel's trial in The Dragonet Prophecy.

Template:Infobox Character Vermilion is a male SkyWing prince and the brother of Princess Tourmaline/Queen Ruby, Hawk, two unnamed brothers, and 11 unnamed (deceased) sisters. He and his brother, Hawk, are Queen Scarlet's only known sons, along with many sisters who have been killed off over the years in royal challenges. Vermilion's scales are of a vibrant blood-red, similar to the color he was most likely named after. He is the announcer of the SkyWing arena matches and is the prosecutor in trials. He also appears in letters in Winter Turning's last pages and The Brightest Night collector's edition. Smolder tells him how to care for a pet scavenger in these letters.

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

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 for his mother's hatching day. Tsunami almost attacked him before her fight with Gill. Then he announced Clay's battle against Fjord.

The Brightest Night

A letter from Smolder to Vermilion about his pet scavenger, Flower, and how to take care for one is featured in the end of the Collector's Edition. The letter explained how to protect your scavenger, as someone would eat it "by accident" or no, to protect your belongings, because it would try to make little things out of the cloth "worse than moths", 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.

Winter Turning

The same letter that is featured in the Collector's Edition of The Brightest Night is also in the end of every edition of Winter Turning.

Escaping Peril

In this book, Vermilion was shown as a loyal supporter of the new Skywing Queen, Queen Ruby. Scarlet finds him and questions him about what happened since she "left the Kingdom." To her outrage, Vermilion replies that Ruby used almost all the Skywing treasure to transform the Skywing Arena into a hospital for dragons that were injured in the war, hiring dragons from all different tribes to teach and assist her healers in helping injured dragons. He is also accused of liking Ruby more than Scarlet, and is forced to help Peril (who was under a spell at the time) take Prince Cliff into custody and guard him.

Personality

Vermilion was shown to be a former loyal supporter to Scarlet, turning to Ruby and supporting her when he realized that she truly was the better SkyWing queen. Vermilion also seems to have quite a lot of interests, from being an announcer in the SkyWing Arena, a prosecutor, and possibly owning a pet scavenger.

Trivia

"Vermillion" is another way to spell the word, but isn't the correct spelling for the character of the series.
It was revealed in The Brightest Night and Winter Turning Collector's Editions that Vermilion was considering having a scavenger as a pet like Smolder does.
