Scorch (HTTYWOF)

Scorch is an adult male SkyWing guard who is a supporting character and former antagonist in How to Train Your Wings of Fire, a How to Train Your Dragon and Wings of Fire crossover written by HTTYDPokemonFan under the username ReptileGirl497 on Fanfiction.net. He is Kestrel's mate and the father of Inferno.
== Appearance ==
Scorch is big with dark orange scales, rippling muscles and huge powerful orange wings.
== Personality ==
Scorch was originally a loyal and devoted soldier to Queen Scarlet, but he became devoted to Queen Tourmaline once he realized that she was a better ruler. The true extent of his loyalty towards Scarlet is unknown, but he was willing to capture, and possibly kill, Windracer, his own nephew, on her command, which could suggest that he has, or had, a low opinion of hybrids.
== Biography ==
=== Pre-Series ===
Scorch fathered Inferno with Kestrel in the SkyWing breeding program, and oversaw his son's training with Queen Scarlet. He may have been one of the guards who caught Auburn trying to sneak Windracer's egg out of the Sky Kingdom.
=== How to Train Your Wings of Fire ===
Scorch appeared, along with Inferno, as one of the guards summoned by Scarlet after she followed Marmoset and Mango back to the cave entrance where the Dragonets of Destiny were stepping outside for the first time. A triumphant Scarlet pointed him out to Kestrel, who recognized him almost instantly.
Scorch later accompanied Scarlet while the queen was thwarting the dragonets' escape attempt. He was one of the guards watching Windracer's battle against Prince Frost and Gill in the arena on Scarlet's hatching day. Along with the other guards, he restrained the Dragonets of Destiny to prevent them from escaping after Windracer used his animus magic to free all of Scarlet's prisoners. Scorch witnessed Queen Scarlet's death by Frost and the subsequent ascension of Queen Tourmaline. He released the dragonets on Tourmaline's orders and left with the other guards to begin renovating the arena into a hospital.
== Relationships ==
=== Inferno ===
Scorch helped train Inferno, his son, to be Queen Scarlet's Champion. While their relationship is mostly professional, Scorch has demonstrated some care toward his son's well-being.
=== Kestrel ===
Kestrel was Scorch's partner in the breeding program. While the true extent of their relationship remains unknown, he didn't seem too upset at the news of her death, suggesting that he didn't love her all that much or that he only saw her as a means of having dragonets.
