Honeywing

Born to Graham Cracker and Clouddancer, Honeywing grew up between Canterlot and Cloudsdale where he slowly developed affinities for languages, negotiation, and long distance flight. After a long and varied career, he joined the Couriers, a corps of diplomatic couriers and ambassadors. At some point during his journeyman stage, he and Summer Wind had a one night stand that resulted in the birth of his foal, Sweetbreeze.

Pre Timeskip
Honeywing made deliveries to and from various places in Equestria, the Gryphon Kingdoms, and other outlying regions. One of these brought him to Ponyville to deliver a few items to the library, during which he gave a letter to Dark Core, an event that would have unexpected consequences.

Also during this time, Honeywing struck up a relationship with Glitzen Glamour.

During timeskip
At some point during the 5-year gap, Honeywing found a gemstone containing the [Element of Discord]] Pride. Using its ability to speak to the minds of its victims, Pride convinced Honeywing to take up the gem and host the Elemental within. With Pride's influence, he quickly rose through the ranks until Director Lance noticed his odd behaviors and blacklisted him.

Toward the end of the timeskip, Pride began altering Honeywing's perception of reality and committing several crimes while controlling Honeywing's body to inflict further psychological trauma on the pegasus. One of these was the rape and perceived murder of a model named Tiger Lily.

Post Timeskip
Pride, as Honeywing, managed to talk Dark Core into accepting Honeywing as a political adviser in light of his marriage to Princess Luna. It continued to wreak havoc with Honeywing's family ties and other social circles, especially once it became more apparent that It was to be the last of the empowered Elements. It also began communicating directly with various persons in contact with Honeywing.

Eventually, Pride's possession of Honeywing was discovered, which led to its eventual purging through Honeywing's shame.

Once Pride's influence was no longer a factor, Honeywing collapsed into a depression as he tried to sort out the memories, both real and false, of the last four years.
