As a spren, Glys takes the form of a bright red crystalline structure, resembling a snowflake, which shimmers and drips light upwards.[3] This is not the form of a normal Truthwatcherspren, who appear as light reflected through crystal on a surface.[4][5][6] His altered appearance is the result of Sja-anat's corruption,[2] and he intentionally tends to stay invisible.[7]
As a Shardblade, Glys is described as being long, glowing, thin, with almost no crossguard, and waving folds to the metal as if it had been forged.[8]
Personality
Little is known of his personality, although Renarin describes him as excitable.[9]
Characteristics
Although Rock has the ability to see all spren, he has never been able to spot Glys. He bows when Renarin isn t looking, just in case, and makes a sign of reverence to the hidden god.[10]
Speculation
Truthwatcherspren are suspected to be of Cultivation due to the Surge of Progression they afford their Surgebinders.
Further, while the name of the Truthwatcherspren remains unknown, it is possible that they are the keenspren referenced by Wyndle in Edgedancer.[11]
