The first-book bond
Baide is the orange scorpiontail who selects Jack Barlowe at Threshing. This links the dragon to one of Violet’s hostile fellow cadets, rather than to her own bonded pair.

Physical identification
The individual guide describes Baide as comparatively small, with golden eyes. Her scorpiontail identifies a curved, pointed form; this record does not infer a poison mechanism from the name.

A rider with earlier predecessors
The reference identifies Jack as Baide’s fifth rider. That history is a reminder that a dragon’s life can extend across multiple human partnerships. No confirmed signet for this pair is assigned in this directory.

A broken partnership
In Iron Flame, Jack kills Baide and her fall damages the wardstone. This event belongs to the later-book record and should not be folded into a spoiler-free identification summary.
