Spoiler warning! This article contains plot details from the latest book. |
Councillor Terik is one of twelve members of the Council. He is one of the few Councillors that has always been friendly to Sophie and her friends. He claims 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 Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities and said that her potential was "interesting". In Book 2: Exile, Terik somewhat took the role of Alden, when Alden's mind was shattered. In Book 3: 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 them.
Appearance
Councillor Terik has wavy brown hair and cobalt blue eyes. At the end of Lodestar, Terik is said to need a prosthetic leg after the collapse of the castle. Oralie later confirms this by telling Sophie and her friends that "he wants it to be like his real leg." As of Flashback, Terik has a custom-made prosthetic leg made from a team of technopaths, as they were unable to regrow his limb. It was said that he had trouble adjusting to his new piece, as he wobbled with most steps and uses a silver cane to help him walk. It is also stated in Flashback, Chapter 2, that he has pale skin that doesn't show any scars. It can be noted that the leg which was amputated was his left leg, as it is described in Flashback that his left leg was much stiffer and slower while his right leg moved smoothly.
