Hailstone

Hailstone Epoch is an Equestrian pure hippogriff from Hippogriffinstone. He is a very vicious hippogriff and the brother of King Nephostratus who was previously the heir to the throne until he betrayed the kingdom by declaring an act of ethnic cleansing of weak and passive members of his race, believing that they would be a bad influence since the Hippogriff-Hippalectryon War. But because this included his own brother and other noble members like Queen Novo, which he declared survival of the fittest, he was dubbed a barbarian, was denounced as the heir and replaced with Nephostratus, and banished. Angered, Hailstone swore revenge and that he would one day take the throne. He cares about his family's legacy more than his family itself and will not hesitate to anyone who challenges or upsets it including Queen Corono, who takes over as the ruler after Nephostratus is dubbed unfit to rule. Declaring this a disrespect to his heritage, Hailstone plots to assassinate her. He has the ability to negate other hippogriffs' magical abilities for long periods of time which allow for quick nullification and training this ability since before exile has made it strong enough to make him a match for Corono and her anger-based resistance to magic spells. He is similar in personality to Lord Shen, but is not restrained in much fashion.
