Tempest was an adult female SeaWing who was introduced in Assassin. She was a commander of the SeaWing army under Queen Coral, until she was killed by Deathbringer during a diplomatic meeting with several MudWing leaders. Her death ultimately caused the MudWings to leave Blister's alliance and join Burn's army, due to making the SeaWings lose trust in their allies.

She was described to be as big as Morrowseer, with broad shoulders, gleaming teeth, and a healing burn scar on her neck. She had a trident longer than Deathbringer strapped to her back,[2] and a booming,[3] big, jovial voice. She had a startling, booming bark of a laugh.[1]

Assassin[]
Tempest arrived at Blister's secret camp along with King Gill and Piranha, the council member in charge of warfare. They met with several MudWing officials, including General Swamp, to formulate battle strategies and plans. After a full day of planning, they were leaving when a MudWing spear thrown by Deathbringer pierced Tempest's heart, killing her. Her last words were "Well, son of a starfish," as she fell to the ground, dead.
