A recruit chosen for the Shadesmar mission, Stargyle is talented at seeing into Shadesmar, though his wife’s illness weighs on his plans. As a Lightweaver, he creates a moving illusion of Ishar’s camp, breathing Stormlight from a pouch at his belt and shaping the image with his fingers. He is a handsome man with a soldier’s build, but his artistry reaches back to his beginnings as a pigmenter’s son. His skill and approachable manner make him a useful presence among the mission’s recruits.

Description

Stargyle is tall and handsome, with a soldier’s build and a ready, approachable smile. The text does not specify his skin tone, hair, eyes, or exact facial structure. He wears a Stormlight pouch at his belt, a practical detail that suits his work as a Lightweaver, and uses his fingers like a painter’s tools when shaping illusions. His bearing balances military confidence with the expressive ease of an artist.
