'Char' was an adult male SandWing who was
introduced in Deserter. He served as the king of the SandWings alongside
his wife, Queen Oasis, until he was killed by a mysterious illness that
swept the SandWing stronghold.

## Description

Char was tall and burly.

## Personality

Char was stern and gentle. He appeared pleased with himself after
recruiting Dune and Six-Claws into the SandWing army.

## Biography

### Winglets

#### Deserter

After Six-Claws saved Blaze from the sandstorm, Char scolded his
daughter for venturing outside of the palace. Blister asked him if they
should point out the culprit who lured Blaze into the desert, and Dune
piped up in Six-Claws' defense. Upon noticing Six-Claws' claws, Blaze
jumped away in fear and rudely criticized his talons, which resulted in
another scolding from Char. Char, pleased by Six-Claws' deed, invited
both Six-Claws and Dune to join the army as loyal soldiers of the queen.

Char was later said to have died of a mysterious sickness that swept
through the palace, the same one that killed Six-Claws' father,
Quicksand, sometime before Oasis was murdered by humans.

## Relationships

### Oasis

Char only had as much power as Queen Oasis let him have. Sometimes he
accompanied her everywhere, welcomed into advisory meetings and
diplomatic gatherings, and sometimes they would fight and he would be
exiled from the palace for months at a time. He often fell out of favor
with Oasis.

### Six-Claws

Char was impressed by Six-Claws' flying skills, asking Six-Claws if he
wanted to be in the army, to which Six-Claws agreed to.

I have a better idea, […] Brave and strong and a swift flier
for your age — how would you like to join the army, Six-Claws? We could
use a soldier like you. You could make your way up to captain pretty
fast, maybe general one day.

Hmmm. You're a bit young, but we can put you in basic training
for now. I'll have you two assigned to the same battalion.
