Copperhead is a POV in The First Talons. He is a Sandwing bounty hunter thrust into a plot much bigger than just himself.
== Copperhead ==
=== Appearance: === 
Copperhead is a male Sandwing, with light, sun tanned underscales. He has dark brown scales almost everywhere else. Multiple scars are present on his lean body, and he has a few pouches that have been tied under his wings. He also has a sheath by his side that holds a steel, slightly curved knife that he both covets and hates. The reason is currently unknown.
=== Personality: === 
Copper is usually quite serious, his eyes almost perpetually narrowed. He has a short temper as long as he isn’t doing something important. He attempts to hide his emotions, and pain, when in these (deemed by himself) important situations, a trait inherited from his father. He has been known to go off on little sarcastic rants, smiling condesendaly and happily insulting whoever he’s talking to. His life as a bounty hunter has led him to become quite violent, usually choosing options involving holding his knife to someone’s throat over more peaceful ones.
He is very protective of his friends. Not that he has all that many, with his murderous background and violent, calculating tendencies. He is not afraid of killing, blackmailing, and even downright torture. But there is one rule that he always tries to follow: he can only do these things to those who deserve it. He despises those who murder without good intentions, though he feels he does this himself sometimes. He is not proud of that fact in the slightest. Thoughts of this constantly invade his brain, and he hates both the thoughts and himself when this happens.
He is haunted by the memories of a Sandwing named Stinger. Their relationship is currently unknown. Whenever they come to him, he forcefully removes it from his mind by distracting himself or simply telling himself over and over again not to think about it. He is saddened, and almost scared of the fact that Stinger has joined the Talons of Power.
He is a great tracker, considered by many to be the best in the Scorpion Den.
=== Biography: === 
==== PRE-SERIES: ====
Copper grew up in the Scorpion Den, learning to become a bounty hunter under his father. At a young age, he joined his father’s group, which was led by Fenneck. He took many bounties and killed many dragons over his life. Over that time he befriended Cougar, a fellow hunter.
==== THE FIRST TALONS: ====
After returning to Fenneck’s secret bounty den after an assasiation, Fenneck gave him a bounty from a currently unknown dragon. It was a demand to kill Commander Shark of the Seawings, threatening them if they didn’t complete it and offering a large and hard to obtain reward. He found it stupid and seeks revenge on whoever wrote it, due to the included threat.
He was contacted by the Enclave to save two dragonets from the Talons of Power, Pronghorn and Tamarin. He went to the school to search around, and eventually he found out where they were taken, picking up students Barracuda and Turtle along the way.
They went towards the Scorpion Den, suspecting that’s where Vulture and his Talons were hiding, when they stopped in a desert town. Soon after their arrival, an explosion of Dragonflame Cacti was set off. They were all badly injured, when a second explosion was set off, to kill the medics who were coming to help.
They recovered and went to Sanctuary, which was the location of a message received through the Obsidian Mirror from Vulture.
They found that a gang called the New Knives were acting up once again, and since they had a history of working with the New Knives, decided that was their best lead. Infiltrating a party, they interrogated Prince Cliff, who was performing, for information on their location. They received it, but not before they were chased by three different groups: Fenneck’s bounty hunters, the party security, and a mysterious Nightwing named Slymind, who worked for yet another group called the Talons of Mind.
Copper questioned two New Knives members, and they said Vulture had taken over their group, sending them to steal random valuable items. Along with someone named Mindreader. They traveled to Jade Mountain, and after a huge misunderstanding they learned the dragon that they were after was Mindreader’s father… Mindreader. Copper joined Woodpecker on a recall of Enclave members, and……..
