Tritannus

right|300pxTritannus is a male arctic-skua, also called a parasitic jaeger, and an elite minion of Nihilus the Fiend in Frozen Terror.
==Biography==
Born on the Island of the Wrecked Ships, he at some point bumped into Nihilus by complete accident, but joined him after hearing about his desire for conquest. He was often paired up with Vezok, though the wildcat's lack of brains often irritated the seabird. Nihilus eventually set his sights on Riftgard and Tritannus dutifully followed. 
After planting Talpa in the fortress as a spy, they waited it out until Talpa gathered enough information to send them, then when the time came, Tritannus knocked out all nighttime-guards with neurotoxic-darts (which were later imprisoned by Talpa), then waited with Nihilus for Talpa to let them in. Talpa succeeds and Tritannus was ordered to round up the remaining guards that were asleep. While the plan worked, the presence of prince Vaniel Wildlough and his two friends Dile and Wibble Pintips threw a wrench in it, especially since they escaped the fortress, and later the land completely, though Tritannus didn't know this until he found Mustela Sixclaw sulking at the pier, but wasn't complaining since they recently added Gald Bowstripe with their prisoners. Nihilus then orders Tritannus and Vezok to go after the prince and either capture or kill him, which they obey. When they arrive at the pier and acquire a boat, Vezok dumbly asks where the otter went, but Tritannus doesn't bother answering.
At one point, Vezok accidentally drove their boat into an iceberg and they were forced to continue in a form of water-skiing where Vezok rides a smaller iceberg while Tritannus pulls him on the wing. 
They do reach the mainland, and find their target. While Vezok didn't have much luck, Tritannus was able to catch Dile with a bolas, luring out both Vaniel and Wibble, but reinforcements arrive in the forms of Zimber, his son Pryce, Myodes Lightpaw and Saffo, with the vole tackling the skua, and later Dile tackles him in revenge for the bolas. The tide turns when the Long Patrol arrive, prompting Tritannus to retreat, though not before subduing Saffo and Zimber while rescuing Vezok and damaging Wibble's bow.
They both eventually make it back to Riftgard, but find the prince has returned with a rescue-party. Both Vezok and Tritannus were quick to join the fight: Tritannus himself got a rematch with Zimber, and while the dormouse proves to be quite a fighter, Tritannus defeats and mortally wounds him. He was then immediately attacked by Gald. He tries to defeat her the same way, but she proved aware of this and foils it by grabbing his tail, throwing him into a wall and while he was getting up dies by her blade.
==Appearance==
He was dressed in a grey-samite, blue-bandanna and dark-red pants with a belt. His weapons were a blowpipe where he shoots neurotoxic-darts to capture woodlanders, plus a pair of bolas and for melee a single-bladed axe.
==Personality==
Compared to his partner Vezok Tritannus was a genius: able to come up with quick solutions and even excuses to appease Nihilus. He's also strategic: when Vezok announced himself to Vaniel Wibble and Dile, Tritannus held back until Dile went to engage the wildcat, and only then did Tritannus join in by lassoing Dile. Despite his confident nature, he knew when it was best to admit defeat, like when the Long Patrol arrives to rescue the prince: Tritannus knew there would be too many to handle and backed off.
