Shadyk

Shadyk is a red-tailed hawk and the proclaimed "King of Aisith", a warlord with control over several large portions of queen Chatial's kingdom. With nearly a fifth of the population under his control, Shadyk has vyed for kingship of Aisith since his exile from the Royal Circle during his fourth year, in which he opposed the queen's extremely unpopular proposal of allying with Deucan's forces in the kingdom of Gyr. Shadyk allied himself with Laat and the Gathering after learning of the white gyrfalcon's powers to probe the Stream, considering him to be the headpiece of a movement that would wipe away the old laws and bring forth a new generation beneath the watchful and merciful eyes of the Goddess, whose original laws and declarations were muddled and wrongfully represented by raptors who desired power over their peers and subjects. A revolutionary of sorts, Shadyk did not hesitate to oust the queen and her daughters from the House of Aisith by force, and took his "rightful" place as king after Laat was proclaimed the second White King of Gyr. Until his death, Shadyk kept his promise of peace between the two kingdoms, passing on his throne to his son Shayrak, who was also a heavy supporter of Laat but was troubled by the strong opinions of the Royal Circle.

Personality
Incredibly headstrong but loyal and fair in judgment, Shadyk is admired and respected by most of the red-tailed hawks of Aisith. Not afraid to speak out against his queen and the Royal Circle when he believes they are wrong in their assumptions, he quickly rose to fame for his opposition to  many of Chatial's self-possessed laws and regulations, which would give the queen and her daughters more power and reduce the general population to mindless servitude. After his exile from the Royal Circle, many of Shadyk's supporters flocked to his side and denounced their queen, proclaiming Shadyk as the true King of Aisith. Shadyk did not hesitate to wreak havok among the kingdom, deeply enjoying the chaos that ensued from him and his followers' blatant disregard for the current monarchy. After becoming king, Shadyk promised to maintain peace between Aisith and Gyr, claiming that both kingdoms would forever be allies in their quest to make the Land livable for all raptors.
