Brief

Naru Gwei is the Captain of The Skysworn, the imperial security and defense organization for the Blackflame Empire. He ranks among the top three strongest Underlords in the Empire. In book 4, Skysworn he was ranked number 2. His is on the sacred arts Path of Grasping Sky, which develops wings for a goldsign.

Family

Naru Gwei’s nephew is the Emperor Naru Huan. His niece is Naru Saeya, the emperor’s younger sister. He is also related to Naru Jing and (by-marriage) to her husband, Cassias Arelius.

Skysworn Duties

Gwei’s responsibilities as Skysworn Captain revolve around safeguarding, protecting, and defending the Blackflame Empire. His organization also guards against high crime and illegal use of sacred arts from within the empire. Like all Skysworn members, he is known by deep emerald green armor. His Skysworn headquarters office is located at the top of Starsweep Tower on the mobile cloudcity Stormrock.

The Skysworn’s flying city of Stormrock was built on a massive green cloudbank. Guard towers loomed over forbidding walls of black stone, even as one tower rose over the rest of the city. Starsweep Tower. Headquarters of the Skysworn. Other cloudships, Thousand-Mile Clouds, carriages pulled by winged creatures, and flying sacred artists had to stop at the gates of the city, but Naru Gwei’s cloudship soared over the walls without even slowing down. They headed straight to the highest floor of Starsweep Tower, where a broad path of stone jutted out like a bridge to nowhere. The dock for his ship. (Underlord)

Gwei’s Appearance

Captain Naru Gwei has well-developed emerald wings (goldsign) and keeps a massive slab of a sword slung on his back. He has matted down, greasy gray hair and burn scars on one side of his face and eye. Typically, he appears worn-out weary and is frequently seen chewing on a leaf.

Gwei’s Character

The Captain is a man of few words. His first and main concern is the well-being of the empire. He cannot tolerate the company of Eithan Arelius. He shows poor judgment by trusting in Bai Rou, but he does occasionally show some wisdom.
