'Slaughter' was an adult male NightWing
who was introduced in Assassin. He was Vengeance's cousin and resided on
the NightWing island as a guard until he was killed by Deathbringer.

## Description

Slaughter was unhealthily thin and had a twitchy, furious look, even in
his sleep. He had black wings and was large in size.

## Personality

Described by Quickstrike to be unintelligent, Slaughter was lazy,
bad-tempered, and mean towards nearly everyone. Morrowseer stated that
he would love to practice killing other dragons, and he once bragged
about injuring a small dragonet during training class. Deathbringer
believed that Slaughter would kill him in an instant if he was ordered
to, and Slaughter became eager when Morrowseer mentioned that Slaughter
would have the chance to kill Deathbringer.

## Biography

### Winglets

#### Assassin

Slaughter was first mentioned when Morrowseer suggested Quickstrike
train Slaughter or Vengeance instead of Deathbringer, although she
refused his offer. Quickstrike later made a deal with Greatness|Princess
Greatness and Morrowseer — if her son, Deathbringer, could kill either
Slaughter or Vengeance, he would be able to go to the Pyrrhia|mainland
with her for the newest assassination mission, despite being underage by
NightWing standards.

Deathbringer briefly recalled Slaughter's reputation while deciding
whether to kill Slaughter or Vengeance. Deathbringer decided that
killing Vengeance was too risky, as there were too many witnesses around
the latter. Deathbringer crept up to Slaughter while he was sleeping,
but was interrupted unintentionally by Morrowseer, who woke Slaughter
and immediately warned him of the incoming assassination attempt.
Deathbringer still managed to sneak up and kill Slaughter by slitting
his throat while Morrowseer was leading him out of the room.

Deathbringer later talked to his mother the process of the entire
assassination attempt. Later on, Morrowseer mentioned Slaughter again
when he complimented Deathbringer's first assassination attempt.
