Hendyr[1] is a Skywing Elf and a former member of the Dragonguard, a group of eight elven warriors chosen to protect the egg of Azymondias.[2]
Appearance[]
Hendyr has long, rosewood red hair that reaches past his shoulder blades, and two large wings of the same color which connect to his lower back. His horns, which are a golden color, bend backward and are located slightly above his elven ears, which have the characteristic split part at their bottoms. His facial features include dark eyebrows, light blue eyes, a marking underneath his right eye, as well as a cross scar on his left cheek. He wore the attire of the Dragonguard, which comes in blue and white shades.
Personality[]
Not much is known about Hendyr's personality. Because of his quick abandon of his duty, he does not seem to be loyal to the traditions of honor within Xadia when faced with danger. Although he cared about his friends Tiadrin and Lain and asked them to flee with him and the other guards after Avizandum was slain, he refused to carry Zym's egg and decided to leave the pair behind when they chose to protect it. This strongly suggests that Hendyr tends to prioritize his own safety over that of others.[2]
History[]
Book Three - Sun[]
Dragonguard[]
A flashback of Callum, summoned by performing "Historia Viventem", shows Hendyr staying at the Storm Spire together with Tiadrin and Lain until the moment Harrow and Viren kill Avizandum through the use of dark magic. He abandons his duty and begs Tiadrin and Lain to flee with him and the other guards. When they decline, he leaves without them and refuses to carry the egg of Azymondias with him, as he has no desire to become a target.
Skills and Abilities[]
Sky Primal Connection[]
As a Skywing Elf, Hendyr draws power from the Sky and is at his strongest during a storm and at high altitudes.
Flight[]
Hendyr is one of the few Skywing Elves who are gifted with wings and is thus capable of flying.[2]
Trivia[]
- Hendyr's name is similar to that of his voice actor, Iain Hendry, whose surname may be a variation of "Hendry", which means "son of Henry" in English and Scottish.[3]
