Flint is a young male Barn Owl, and a Pure One.
History[]
The Siege[]
Flint appears as a Pure One infiltrator in St. Aegolius Academy for Orphaned Owls, working to pave the way for an invasion, who Soren is suspicious of and investigates briefly. He poses as a moonblinked youngster and goes through the typical night marches, endlessly repeating his name, but renders himself immune to the effects of moon-blinking by ingesting some supplies of flecks presumably provided by other slipgizzles like 78-2. Flint presumably participated in the fierce battle that occurred in the hatchery after Twilight and Ruby exposed some of Kludd's spies as traitors, though if he did, he either escaped St. Aggie's and rejoined Kludd's army or somehow managed to retain the facade of a St. Aggie's owl until Kludd his forces attack and savagely enslaved the Canyonlands.
The Burning[]
Although not confirmed to be the same owl, there is a Pure One owl named Flintgrease, who discovers the owlipoppen the Guardians use as a distraction. It is possible that they are the same, and Flint is his nickname.
The Outcast[]
Flint, along with two other owls, are young Pure Ones, waiting for Wortmore and Stryker to return. They are guarding stolen eggs that are to be taken to the old St. Aggie's eggorium, one of which is a Burrowing Owl egg which Coryn wants to retrieve for its family. Coryn disguises himself as a hagsfiend with moss and appears to Flint and the other owls, and they shriek with fright, thinking he is the hagsfiend of Nyra because his scar is still showing. Flint shrieks for Glaux to save them, and they flee as Coryn shakes off his moss disguise and takes the Burrowing Owl egg back to the Barrens.
