Sky-Eyes Character in Palimpsest | World Anvil

Sky-Eyes

Sky-Eyes was a Gnoll who worked at Barker's Menagerie and held the position of second-in-command under Roughpelt. His name was derived from the striking colour of his eyes, which were a pale blue hue that stood out from his fur.

Personal history

Goldday, Sailormoon, 1311
Sky-Eyes attacked and captured Connie Furr, after she ventured too far away from home and accidentally ended up in the Gnoll Catacombs. When they returned to the menagerie, Sky-Eyes attempted to brand Connie with the menagerie sigil. However, due to Connie unceasingly reaching out to Brambleson, the Prince of Rabbits was able to convert the brand to his own design. The smell of burning flesh was replaced by the scent of berries, and the brand that was left on her arm resembled a Bramble branch. When Sky-Eyes angrily attempted to brand Connie again further up her arm the Bramble brand grew to join it, and Connie eventually passed out from the pain.   Sky-Eyes held a grudge against Connie for her accidental bramble brand trick and made her time at the menagerie a living nightmare. He provided her with meals made of meat or dipped in blood to make them inedible, which would have left her to starve if it weren't for the spells that Brambleson had granted her as his oracle through the brand.  
Woundsday, Tinkermoon, 1313
Sky-Eyes attended a meeting at the Lowest Rich Man Chapel with Swiles, the trusted seneschal of House Dargent. Although Swiles arrived in a Dargent palinquin, Sky-Eyes entered through a secret trapdoor in the floor to avoid arousing suspicion. They discussed the power vacuum left by Roughpelt's death and the potential for Sky-Eyes to take control of the menagerie. Recognising the benefits of aligning with House Dargent, Sky-Eyes accepted their offer of weaponry to aid in his bid for power.  
Mapday, Tinkermoon, 1313
While Hugo Dargent and his companions teamed up with Cody's Gang to deal with Tyl'rr Do'urden's cage-fight-gone-wrong upstairs, Sky-Eyes took advantage of the chaos to strike against Roughpelt's mate, Flense, for control over the gnoll tribe. The two gnolls engaged in a fierce struggle, each determined to emerge as the victor, but ultimately Sky-Eyes and Flense both inflicted serious moral wounds on each other and they both died in the conflict.
