Sootbird

Sootbird was a friend of Dustfinger but betrayed the Bluejay (Mortimer Folchart) to the Adderhead in Inkspell and does not have much talent in the art of being a fire eater. It is said in Inkdeath that Sootbird had the Adderhead's alchemist teach him how to play with dark fire, wily and deadly like the power he used to tame it. It is also said that the smoke from the dark fire beguiled the senses, making Sootbird's spectators think they were watching the greatest fire eater ever.
