Councillor Terik is one of twelve members of the Council. He is one of the few Councillors that has always been friendly and supportive to Sophie and her friends. He said that he was very similar to Keefe when he was younger.
Job[]
Terik serves on the Council. He is the only current known Descryer in the elvin world. His ability allows him to sense another's potential. He sees it as a great burden because parents often want to know their children's potential, but children sometimes do not live up to it. He descryed Sophie in Keeper of the Lost Cities and said that her potential was "interesting" and "something strong". In Exile, Terik somewhat took the role of Alden, when Alden's mind was shattered. In Everblaze, Terik told to Keefe and Sophie that Sophie's potential seemed divided. When they asked what he meant, he said that he could not tell them because it might influence their ultimate potential.
Appearance[]
