 Mr. Smith's Apprentices

   * Nails: ...and later one apprentice, Caterina Berrett.
   * Iron: Correct. We know that Berrett first killed two of her rival apprentices on Earth. And earlier, on Tessera, the Titan Breakers killed Vesperchoke Thorntail--a black dragon. We thought the only other apprentice of Mr. Smith was Nasha Pogray.
