Watcher

The Watcher, a character from the Blades of Light and Shadow series, is a mysterious hooded figure. He can be first seen in the bonus scene of Book 1, Chapter 16.

Appearance
The Watcher has medium-length wavy white hair, pink eyes, orange skin, pointy ears, a long white beard, and three long markings beneath his eyes. He wears a blue and black cloak robe with golden patterns, a golden earring, and he holds a brown scepter with a giant pink gem.

Personality
The Watcher does not parlay in good or bad, and only speaks of actions and consequences.

Background
He's a secret guardian of history, and he along with others are the keepers of true knowledge and members of a very ancient order. From nearly the moments the Realms came into being, he has existed between them. The Watcher doesn't have the power to physically affect the Realms, and can only observe. The Old Gods entrusted him to maintain the barrier between the Realms, but as his power has waned, rifts began to form.

Your Character
The Watcher comes and speaks to you in a dream. He says that he is the one who observes, who sees, who knows, and who has come to warn. He tells you that by bringing Light to the Realm of Shadow, you have alerted the Empire of Ash, the Great Conquerors, of your presence and they will come. To defeat them, you will need the Old Gods. When you are captured by Valax in Book 2, Chapter 1, he speaks to you telepathically, helps you escape, and tells you that you will speak again soon.
