Name
Dermott
Outer appearance:
In his bird shape, Dermott is a medium-sized hawk with a wide wingspam and brown-red plumage. There are traces of white on his tail and upon his yellow beak. But this is only an illusion. Those able to see beyond Rumina’s spell will notice that his deep, dark, hazel eyes are the ones of a young boy in his teens, with a shock of rebel curled hair, as reddish as his elder sister’s.
Strengths and skills
He flies, so Dermott is the Nomad’s lookout in the sky. Having inherited a slight amount of magic power from his mother, he is able to communicate telepathically with those who share his same ability, like Maeve, Bryn or Master Dim Dim. He also has a slight precognition gift, which enables him to foresee flashes of random future events,even if he can’t anticipate the consequences of the choices made to avoid them. (like when he followed Sinbad into Rumina’s lair (episode 2) or he throwed the Gryffin Egg into the Skull Mountain). If necessary, he can also peck at his enemies. After all, he’s a bird of prey.
Character
Dermott is an active, curious and at the same time pensively boy, who can also be reckless, and isn’t afraid to put himself in danger if required by the situation. The Nomad’s crew is his family, and he get along well with everybody.
Maeve and Dim-Dim had been essential in letting him accept his present condition, so that he won’t give up to the spell, which (like in the episode “the beast within”) could make him completely fall into his hawk nature, and forget he was once human. Dim-Dim taught to the two siblings how to communicate telepathically, using the same gift they both inherited from their mother, and Maeve’s constant voice in his mind initially kept him down to earth, until he could face the curse by himself and find a balance.
Her disappearance in second season had been a turning point into Dermott’s life. For the first time he had to bear with his burden alone, choose a path and make decisions. He chose to stay on the Nomad, willing to find his own way to help his sister in their mutual quest.
When Bryn joined the crew, he could hardly believe she was the same fury who brought death to his home village. But he decided to come close to her despite this. At first because he felt she was somehow connected to what happened to Maeve, and he wanted to uncover her inaccessible memories to find out if she knew something. Actually, what he sensed was Rumina’s blood in Bryn’s veins, but his powers weren’t powerful enough to let him figure it out.
However, even if at the beginning he was doubtful, he changed his mind little by little. He couldn’t sense any evil in her. Just a mixture of loneliness, sadness and visions where she would be an uncertain element in the defeat of the dark forces. During this whole year, Dermott come to the conclusion that Bryn is basically good, and gained his trust and friendship. Having spent a long time with Dim-Dim Dermott know that magic isn’t dark nor white, but it changes colors according to the intention of those who use it. For this reason he now wants to help Bryn to balance her ambivalent powers, and make her stay to the light side.
Bio
Dermott born and grew up in a small village in Eire, with his parents and his elder sister. When Turok’s daughters put on fire their village and Rumina turned him into an hawk, she also killed his and Maeve’s parents, leaving them without a home and with a magical curse to deal with. For this reason they left, and kept on searching for help. Then they met Dim-Dim right after he was dismissed from his former role of Visir of Bagdad.
It’s the beginning of their adventurous life, first in the Isle of Dawn, and later on the Nomad’s deck. Not knowing that Bryn and Rumina were sisters, Maeve search for revenge focused only on Rumina, becoming her life’s goal. His sister quest, his also his quest, and he always tries to help her in every possible manner.
But the awareness she was giving up her own life for him, breaks Dermott’s heart. He wished she could be happy with Sinbad, and the more she get obsessed with Rumina, the more Dermott grew worried about her.
When she fell overboard disappearing into the waves, and he wasn’t able to find her, he knew instantly she was alive. But his foreseeing powers were too weak to let him find her whereabouts. He only knew she was safe somewhere, and the only thing he could foresee was that she would have come back to the Nomad someday. So Dermott decided to stay onboard, looking for her in the sky and waiting patiently for their reunion.
