'Current' was an
adult male SeaWing prince who was introduced in Darkstalker. He resided in the Kingdom of the Sea and was one
of the survivors of the Royal SeaWing Massacre.

## Description

Current was large but thin, with blue scales and haunted blue eyes.

## Personality

Current was polite. After the Royal SeaWing Massacre, Current was
haunted, grieving, and shivered constantly. He could not look at Fathom
without flinching away, and was desperately in denial about the true
nature of Albatross. He was a shell of his former laughing, confident,
easy-to-smile self.

## Biography

### Legends

#### Darkstalker

Prince Current was first mentioned indirectly by Fathom when he said
that his cousins mostly ignored him, politely uninterested in his
stories.

Pearl later said Current liked "those macadamia things," and
would eat them all. He escaped the massacre by flinging himself into the
ocean. Current swam nonstop for days before being washed into a cave in
the Lost city of night|Night Kingdom, where he was discovered by
Clearsight and Darkstalker. He then was brought to Queen Vigilance's
NightWing palace|palace, where he remained for around a year until he
was sent back to the SeaWings with a message and an offer.

When Fathom was summoned by Queen Pearl to the throne room, Current was
brought in. He seemed haunted by Fathom and begged the guards to not be
forced to look at him and was led away at his own request.

## Relationships

### Albatross

Much like most of the other royal SeaWings, Current loved Albatross and
was in disbelief after the massacre. He was in denial, claiming that
something else must have turned the Animus magic|animus mad. Albatross's
massacre left Current in a traumatized state, affecting him to the point
where he grew anxious around Albatross's grandson Fathom.

### Fathom

Current was said to mostly ignore Fathom. Despite being his cousin,
Current's relationship with Fathom was strained after the massacre. He
seemed to be traumatized due to Albatross and feared Fathom due to his
magic, reminding him of Albatross and his powers.

I don't know if anyone is left alive. Albatross killed the
queen. I saw it. He killed two SkyWings and the princess and the king
and my — […] He was still killing when I fled into the ocean. But I
don't know why. He was our prince. We loved him. He was loyal to the
queen. He made such beautiful magic for her. Why would he do this?

Maybe it was another tribe. Maybe they put a spell on Albatross
— that could happen, couldn't it? The IceWings have magic, too; maybe
they were trying to wipe us out. Or the RainWings drugged him. They have
all kinds of plants that do weird things in the Rainforest
Kingdom|jungle, that's what I've heard. It all makes sense, doesn't it?
It must have been someone else using him. It wasn't Albatross at all.
