Skywise was created by Wendy and Richard Pini, the creative team behind ElfQuest.

Origin

=======

Orphaned at birth, Skywise got his name from his passion for the stars. Also known as the Stargazer, he became the astronomer of the Wolfriders. He wears a magnetized piece of stone as a necklance which he calls the lodestone for its capability to guide people directionally. Skywise is also Cutter's bestfriend and "brother in all but blood". They have shared a special bond almost since birth, and Skywise is the only one who knows Cutter's soul name besides Leetah. He has been Cutter's closest confidante, and even an advisor to Cutter's successor as Chief of the Wolfriders, his daughter Ember.

Skywise is himself the son of Eyes High and Shale, and the lovemate (at different times) of Foxfur and Aroree. He has also fathered at least one child, Yun, although there may be others. Afteral, he is known for his way with the ladies...

Since the return of Timmain (one of the High Ones) to the Wolfriders, many Elves have come to believe that she and Skywise are destined to be Recognized. Recognition is a spiritual and biological imperative among Elves to join that is impossible for them to ignore. Also, since becoming immortal (through Leetah's healing touch) Skywise has come to feel like an outsider to his own people. When the Palace Shards were reunited and the Palace of the High Ones left the World of Two Moons, Skywise left with it; realizing he was finally where he truly belonged.
