Dedicate Skyfire is the first among the Fire Dedicates and an initiate, which means mage, at Winding Circle.[1] In need he is responsible for organising the defense of the temple. He taught Daja the staff-fighting meditation technique which Daja teaches to Jory. Before he joined the temple Skyfire was a famed general.
Skyfire, whose name before dedication is unknown, was a legend as a general in Sotat until 1030 KF. When his wife died in that year he left Sotat and his armies behind to dedicate himself to the gods of fire. Five years later he is already First Fire Dedicate, thus head of the temple and responsible for all of Winding Circle's defenses.[2]
Skyfire is lean and very tall, as he has more than six feet of height. His hair is red and short-cropped as is his beard. He has a thin nose and weathered skin. Skyfire's eyes are a deep blue. He normally wears the crimson robe of fire dedicates with a black border to mark him as an initiate as well as a gold circle which shows his position as the head of the Fire Temple.[1]
