Prince Vermilion is a bright red SkyWing prince and the brother of Princess Tourmaline/Queen Ruby, Hawk, two unnamed brothers, and eleven unnamed sisters who were killed off over the years in royal challenges against their now deceased mother Ex-Queen Scarlet as of Escaping Peril. He was the announcer of the SkyWing arena matches and the prosecutor during trials. He is also mentioned in letters in the last pages of Winter Turning and the collector's edition of The Brightest Night, in which Smolder tells him how to care for a pet scavenger. It is likely that he's planning to get one of his own, like Smolder's pet scavenger, Flower, and Winter's pet scavenger, Bandit.
