== Biography ==
=== Pre-Series ===
When Chessmaster and Strongtalons were dragonets, their grandfather, Shadowstalker - one of the best assassins amongst the NightWings - would play Maces and Talons with him. Chessmaster always insisted on being the honorable chieftain in the game while Strongtalons slightly scoffed at that. Shadowstalker taught Chessmaster how to be cunning and manipulative as his grandfather helped the NightWings extend the War of SandWing Succession to last twenty years for their fake prophecy to come true.
=== How to Train Your Wings of Fire ===
Chessmaster was assigned to create a set of lava-heated armor that would enable Queen Battlewinner to leave her pool of lava without freezing to death so she would be able to lead the attack on the Rainforest Kingdom.
Chessmaster and his brother (Strongtalons), Malicious, and Vanquisher captured Arid while she had been blinded after the NightWing Exodus. They planned to use her as a bargaining chip for Windracer, who had just been appointed as king of the NightWings, but Arid subdued them all, despite being blind, and made a tree fall on them leaving them trapped. She then returned with Windracer, Ocotillo and Diamondback, who took the NightWings into custody.
