The Clear Sky Hermit

The Clear Sky Hermit is a NPC introduced in Episode 20 of Andor's POV. He was revealed to be an alternate version of Prince Andor in Episode 59 of Taylor's POV. The Realm is the third universe he has lived in, the other two being an alternate Ruxomar and a place called Ezaven.

Upon Taylor asking how he could fly, he stated he has the ability to control wind and air currents. He also appears to be able to not aggravate endermen. (With the exception of various episodes in which someone aggravated the endermen and they turned hostile on Sky as well.) Though they can't understand them, if he finds one he often tells it to run, knowing either Taylor or Dallas will kill it the second one of them sees it.

His memory was erased by Death and World Historian manipulating a "disease" called the Static. Later, Botan manipulated this so much that he effectively brainwashed Clear Sky.

Personality
Clear Sky takes on a cryptic stance, going on mystic ramblings from time to time, losing his touch with reality. It is fairly easy to snap him back. He seems kind and for the most part benevolent. He has a fascination for ender. He seems very shy in some social situations, though he gained confidence over time.

Sky only gets especially angry when Nick is around, either when he's flirting with Omelette or destroying something. This was taken to a bit of an extreme in Episode 59 of Taylor's POV, where he uncovered his old rapier to try and chase after Nick to kill him. He's not a big fan of it when someone tries to harm a passive mob or an enderman.

He gets little to no sleep (once stating Alternate Ianite tended to keep him awake) and can build extremely quickly. He seems to lie to those he does not like, seen in his conversations with Nick, especially once where Nick asks him to carry him over to Omelette and Sky declines, saying "I'm not that strong," despite having been able to pick Omelette up on various occasions.

Sky used his limited teleportation spells to try and "scare" the heroes. Sky acted mostly on habit or without putting much thought into his actions, leading him to hide his true identity and wander about the realm with no real reason.

He is described throughout the Cardinal Journals and several of Mystic's writings to be fearful, scared, and generally paranoid due to past experiences, especially ones in Ruxomar. Taylor has pointed out his paranoia in the past and Sky is consistently scared of things, even once telling Omelette he was sometimes scared of him after he was asked.

Clear Sky tended to hang around either near/in his tower, around the farm, or in the Ianite Palace.

After he was revealed to be Prince Andor, he panicked after being locked into what was formerly his personal library by Omelette. There were suspicions he may have been an evil Andor written about in Past Universes, a book written by Botan and given to Taylor. He was left trapped by Botan and it was suggested by Intuition he be left there until he could prove his innocence. He went into shock and both panicked and was nonverbal after being locked in. He hinted at the Inertia between his scared ramblings, bad memories from it are likely the reason for his actions after he was locked up.

Sky proved himself to be a gentle, kind-hearted person who cared for the well being of the realm before himself.

Sky's personality shifted into a more child-like manner after he lost his memory to the Static. He has forgotten everything beyond living in Castle Dagrun before the S2 Heroes arrived, and after falling ill with flux, was shown to be growing close to Botan.

Appearance
Clear Sky claims to be made of quartz, alabaster, and marble. The Cardinal Journals also claim him to be composed of areas of glass, which are the teal/cyan areas of his body.

When sunlight pours through the glass on Clear Sky's body, the resulting light on the ground is shimmery in nature.

The "hair" on his helmet is fashioned into dreadlocks with large beads. His blood is red and he has been scarred, though his scars are not visible with his armor on.

Various scars line his arms and he has a fractal scar on his back due to being struck by lightning. His left hand, "the bad one"/"the twitchy one", twitches due to muscle spasms as a result of the strike exiting through that hand. Two larger scars go down his back from his metal wing ports.

Clear Sky is semi-robotic, with two wing ports located on his back allowing him to use mechanical wings. He was revealed to be human in Ep 57 of Taylor's POV. Andor later saw his face using Tab. Sky also appeared as a human in most of his armor in Cardinal Journal 18. He was revealed to be an alternate Prince Andor later on. He states he hasn't shaved in a while and appears with slightly longer hair than S2 Andor and has bags under his eyes due to his sleeplessness.

Sky is a little dark-skinned with dark brown hair which is normally portrayed to fade to an orange-brown shade at the ends in his actor's artwork of him. While he normally has blue eyes, his eyes (even when in his full armor set) have been shown to go purple due to Ianite being restless.

He was shown starting at Episode 61 of Taylor's POV without his chestplate and instead wore a dark brown tanktop. He was covered in deep cuts from the glass on his armor having shattered after Nick attacked him. After his armor's glass having shattered several times, Taylor begged him to stop wearing it and after he listened, appeared wearing one of Omelette's old outfits.

Flux Flu Strain E1R2 Study (Pyrite's Notes) reveals that Clear Sky contracted two separate strains of the Flux Flu, was immune to another, and was introduced to another to study its effects. He also confirms this when talking to Dallas. After his longer infections with the strain he called M1H1, the flux grew and spread up his arms and hands. If he's infected with flux, his skin tints a pale purple, especially between his eyes and around his nose.

Occupations
Clear Sky seems to take on many roles at once. He claims to be an acolyte of Ianite, traveler, author, and sculpter. It's safe to say he is also an engineer judging by his experience with computers and what seems to be a pipe system that flows throughout his tower. He also touches in alchemy and magic.

Flux Flu Strain E1R2 Study (Pyrite's Notes) revealed that Clear Sky is a "mortal demigod". That is what Clear Sky means after he states "Taylor knows what I am." After he was revealed to be Prince Andor, it was confirmed he was truly a demigod, being a descendant of Ianite.

All of his hobbies and occupations stem from his family history. He has picked all of them up from his family members or alternates of them. He was taught magic and alchemy by Mystic, his Martha. It was likely his Sparklez and DG taught him how to make reactors.

The Acolyte of Ianite
Clear Sky has devoted his life to Ianite. He reveals to Andor that being an acolyte of Ianite's is much more than the title entails, and that'd he'd do anything Ianite instructed him to. He says he has never met another acolyte of any other god, though "Jupiter", his father, once posed as one (referring to Helgrind's name changing to Apostle_Helgrind in the Inertia).

He reveals two major jobs of being an acolyte to Andor. One of these is being a storyteller. Clear Sky mentions having picked up many stories in all his realms, having picked up stories from Ianite herself, his friends, and travelers he met. It is his job to echo those stories as well as tell his own. The second job of this is to assist in keeping the scales balanced. It was vague what this specifically means, though likely works through Clear Sky's constant talk of Ianite and the various occasions in which Alt Ianite literally "spoke through him".

The Reactor
Clear Sky finished building the reactor during Episode 51 of Taylor's POV. He says he learned how to build them from some friends who taught him how to. The reactor is his main source of energy for most of his technological operations throughout his tower, otherwise he runs on batteries.

When he states that he's wary of the resonant ender he keeps in flow about his house freezing, Taylor rebuttals that he shouldn't have built his house in a snowy biome. Clear Sky says that was his choice because it would be a natural coolant for the reactor, so he wouldn't need as much coolant than normal reactors. The water around his base was in fact proven to not be water, but to be resonant ender, a coolant for reactors. The lava was also said to be molten yellorium. Upon touching resonant ender, players such as Taylor have been poisoned and sometimes teleported at random.

Alternate Ruxomar
Clear Sky was born in an alternate version of Ruxomar, in the kingdom of Dagrun. Little is known about his childhood other than he had a sister, "Pygmy Owl", who died of the flux flu at a young age. "Snowy Owl", his mother, died of the flux as well. He recalls the names of the Sky Heroes and various NPCs of Season 2 being familiar to him, and he eventually tells Andor that yes, he did meet the Sky Heroes of S2. Pygmy was revealed to be Alva and Snowy was revealed to be Freya.

In Alternate Ianite's writing in A Weight Off Your Shoulders, she writes of a memory Sky has forgotten due to his brainwashing. It talks of a 4-year-old Sky (referred to as Andor at the time) spending time with Ianite.

He calls his father "Jupiter" (who was revealed to be Helgrind) and went under the pen name "Callisto" once in order to write what he felt down and not get charged for treason. He writes Jupiter as an evil figure who "went mad" after the deaths of Pygmy and Snowy Owl. Alternate Ianite was "with him" even when he was young, and as Jupiter supposedly became more corrupt, Ianite began to be filled with fear, which Clear Sky mutually shared with her. Clear Sky tells LOLFZTER in Episode 50 of Taylor's POV that he once knew someone who went by the name of Andor in this verse, which was later revealed to be Sky himself.

Journal 8 talks about what he calls the Incident (later revealed to be him as Andor being jailed in the Inertia), where he was tortured and grew fearful of many things, including small spaces and small, sharp objects. He also tells Andor in one of his streams that his father "Jupiter" pretended to be an apostle of Mianite's, though got banished to what Sky assumes was the Nether. Sky says he was exhausted at the time and was almost falling asleep where he stood, though he later confirms to Omelette that he didn't see Helgrind die, as he died in the Nether.

In Sky's writing in A Weight Off Your Shoulders, he mentions he was brainwashed by Helgrind as a child to forget about Ianite and to be manipulated into a Mianitee. Obviously this failed. This refers primarily to S2 Andor recounting his experience after his awakening in the Inertia.

Sky recounts some of his post-Inertia experience in conversations with Andor and in Wanderings. He went to Urulu after dropping his title of prince and was primarily guided by Ianite to "learn a lesson". Sky admittedly still doesn't understand it fully, though he has a grasp on it, primarily that he overestimated himself. Sky says he was very angry in Urulu, mad at himself and even at his Ianite. He also mentions he talked to a tree (likely the Patron Tree of Katsir) and was briefly mentored by a monk in Urulu, referencing the monk in Chapter 2 of The Clear Sky Hermit, but often confused with the swordsman Wallace in Chapter 3 by the fans. To date, Sky has made no mention of Wallace, but it's still likely he met him.

While he pretends his second universe was worse than Ruxomar, he has stated that Ruxomar was his worst universe.

He claims he used to have wings in this universe, but he "lost them." He told Andor he received those wings when he was 10 years old. These were the purple wings pre-Inertia Andor was shown having. Sky had these severed against his will in Inertia, and they're the source of the scars beneath his ports on his back. He has told people to not touch his back or he would "legitimately murder" them, though he's likely joking and just stating he is very uncomfortable with anyone touching his back.

Ezaven
Clear Sky's second universe that he escaped to after the apocalypse and destruction of Ruxomar. He continued his acolyte work here with the help of a friend he calls "Cardinal", who was revealed to be an alternate of Alyssa, and he claims to have been hunted down by Mianitees in the torn notes Taylor picked up.

"Cardinal"/Alyssa took logs on some of her ventures, and Clear Sky accidentally lost them around while he was trying to settle down, some of which were picked up by Taylor. Journal 1 recalls a time Clear Sky and "Cardinal"/Alyssa were captured by several Mianitees, but were let go and fled.

Journal 3 recalls a meeting of some of Clear Sky's supposed friends, specifically "Bolt" and "Pyrite", who are said to be taking things more seriously than they normally do, to which Cardinal says, "We're just adapting to a life we don't want."

Journal 5 reveals a fight Alyssa, Clear Sky, and "Bolt" fought against an airship of Mianitees from The Golden Realm organization. Among these were "Jaybird" and "Red", who Bolt was quick to call traitors. Jaybird mentions that they should've listened to "the king" and that "none of this would've ever happened" if they had listened to him. Battle ensues, and Cardinal's true identity as an alternate of Alyssa "CountryBat" Screziato is revealed at the end of the journal as Clear Sky yells at her to run.

Journal 14 tells of what was later called The Battle of Balance, which Clear Sky fought in alongside Bolt, Pyrite, Cardinal, Emerald, Mystic, and an alternate of Mot. He was told by Bolt to retreat the battlefield close to the end of the fight and he did so with Cardinal and Mystic.

Journal 15 describes one of the many temples Clear Sky and Cardinal found during their journeys. This was the Sandstone Temple, an abandoned Dianite temple beneath one of the pillar within the city of Veracrates. It was the first they discovered of the three largest temples in Ezaven. They also found the Silverwood Temple, an underground hideaway for the Willowwood Ianitees' descendants, which Sky and Cardinal reportedly spent a lot of time in. It was one of the few places Sky felt safe in aside from Mystic's house. The third was the Prismarine Temple in the island chain city of Riphia, where they eavesdropped on Mianitees in the library to discover some plot of the Golden Realm.

Ianite eventually told him to "move forward", causing his arrival in the Realm. Cardinal was left behind in Ezaven.

Pre-Static
Sky was rather shy around the characters of the realm upon meeting them, and acted rather formally. He warmed up to them over a period of time and when Dave attempted to flirt with Omelette, Sky defended him, accidentally saying he had a bit of a crush on Omelette. This later devolved into the two becoming boyfriends and moving to Aileen's old house and taking up residence there.

Much of Sky's past was revealed through books.

Over time he began to point out hearing static in people's voices whenever they talked about something he wasn't very aware of, like the state of the universe being a video game. This later grew into sharp headaches and resulting in him giving Taylor the book Static, describing his memory loss issue. The Static overtook his mind, resulting in a near completely memory wipe, after he was shot down by Death's bow.

Post-Static
The Static set Sky back many years in mental age, but he was quick to regain many of them. He initially panicked upon respawning, looking for Helgrind, as he was aware he was not in Dagrun. Resorting back to becoming "Prince Andor", Sky's headaches were at a peak and no one could show him certain items or speak of any time from the arrival of the S2 Heroes in Ruxomar and on.

Sky befriended Botan, as he saw Botan was trying to assist him in getting used to the world as opposed to the other characters, who rather attempted to help him regain his memory, causing him pain.

Sky was briefly kidnapped by Corrupted Omelette, though not recognizing it was his boyfriend. Since that event he hides in Taylor's basement in one of the guest rooms and isn't fond of going outside.

"Pygmy Owl"/"Ganymede"/Alternate Alva
"Pygmy Owl" (once referred to as "Ganymede", later revealed to be an alternate Princess Alva) was Clear Sky's little sister. She died of illness at a young age. It's suggested he had a nice relationship with her and that "she's a sweet one". Clear Sky told Andor that she wanted wings of her own, but she was too young. When she died, she was four.

Upon his arrival, Clear Sky said that "Pygmy would've liked this place," referring to the Realm, and later tells Andor that Pygmy would've liked him.

"Cardinal"/Alternate Alyssa
"Cardinal" (later revealed to be Alyssa "CountryBat" Screziato) was Clear Sky's best friend, who was left behind in his second universe. She accompanied him during most of his acolyte work and travels there. She is a Dianitee. Clear Sky has known her since she was six years old.

In Last Contact, she states she became a mercenary tasked by Dianite to revive the lost cultures of Ezaven, one of which is based in the old Silverwood Temple and the other with the Dianitees of Odogow. She claims to be chaotic and reckless, writing to Clear Sky that she'd never bit fit to be an acolyte like him.

Cardinal's interests are strange. Within her journals here and there are things taped or glued into the pages. Most of the time these are photos from Ezaven or Ruxomar, though she has also pressed flowers and taped feathers to the pages. A series of quotes from the YA series Wings of Fire was also found inside the pages, which Clear Sky said was a series she liked.

"Jupiter"/Alternate Helgrind
"Jupiter" (later revealed to be King Helgrind) is Clear Sky's father, who is mentioned the most from journals telling of Ruxomar. He is suggested to be a corrupt, mad figure. Clear Sky was forced to spend more time with him after the deaths of Pygmy and Snowy Owl, and it's said that Jupiter pushed Clear Sky to become something he wasn't.

Clear Sky told Andor that Jupiter pretended to be an apostle of Mianite's later on in his Ruxomar universe, though got banished to another realm as a joke and ended up permanently stuck there. This was confirmed to be the Nether, which Waglington sent Helgrind to some time after the Inertia jailbreak in Season 2.

"Snowy Owl"/"Europa"/Alternate Freya
"Snowy Owl" (once referred to as "Europa", later revealed as an alternate Queen Freya) was Clear Sky's mother. She likely died of the same illness Pygmy Owl did. Clear Sky mentions following her around a lot before her death. He tells Andor that she was Ianitee and that she taught him and Pygmy a lot of things in their childhood, including many species of birds and mythological creatures.

Clear Sky's bow is named after her.

Mianitees
Clear Sky says he "doesn't trust" Mianitees, having a bad history with them. He was hunted down by many Mianitees in his second universe for an unknown reason other than a bounty being on his head as he was an outlaw, and he also stated that Mianitees in Ruxomar were a cause for his worries, especially an unknown figure, suspected to be King Helgrind.

Journal 5 details a battle Clear Sky fought against several Mianitees in Ezaven.

Alternate Ianite
The Ianite of Clear Sky's realms is reportedly bodiless, and seems to be able to communicate with Clear Sky. Clear Sky has a positive outlook on her, and says that she is the reason for him entering the Realm. He also refers to her when he tells Insanity that he has "a voice of reason" keeping him from going mad. She seems to guide his every move, and that because he "wasn't tired yet", that she may also guide him to not "settle down" in the Realm, but instead continue his portal-hopping travels.

Ianite was seen floating about Clear Sky in Episode 51 of Taylor's POV, stressed and "frazzled" according to Clear Sky. She is for the most part powerless in the Realm as it isn't the one she primarily resides in, shown by the particles coming off Clear Sky and the headache he had while Dianite and Mianite were fighting. Her power also seemingly grew by Episode 65 of Taylor's POV, where she managed to talk to Taylor, but could only echo things Sky had recently said.

In A Weight Off Your Shoulders, it's revealed they have history beyond what Clear Sky can remember. This is because he was brainwashed after Pygmy and Snowy died to forget his memories of Ianite, only beginning to recall them after his time in the Inertia.

He mentions to Andor that he had devoted his life to Ianite, and that he'd do anything she told him to do or guided him to. Sky and Ianite obviously talk a lot to each other, some of Sky's ramblings often times excused as the two talking.

Alternate Ianite used Sky as an energy focus while she was recovering after being killed by Botan. This was very obvious in Clear Sky's speech, in which she briefly took him over. They were later shown sharing the same physical body (Sky's) and beginning to be able to cooperate when speaking.

Clear Sky is one of the three last remaining of this Ianite's descendants. The second is Mystic and the third remains unknown.

"Mystic"/Alternate Martha
"Mystic" (later revealed to be an alternate Martha) is Clear Sky's aunt, making him distantly related to Dallas. He had a very good relationship with her and spent supposedly much of his time in Ezaven with her. She was said to be a god by Pyrite, suggesting she ascended before the fall to Ezaven. After the fall, Cardinal says she started to grow horns and eventually she sprouted dragon-like wings.

Mystic talks very fondly of Sky, and the two of them are close allies. Sky talks about Mystic a fair bit, saying things like she'd get mad at him for spending his spells on interior design, suggesting Mystic taught him the magic he knows, as well as writing in a note to Taylor that her advice he always found the best.

Mianite
Clear Sky met Mianite in Episode 44 of Taylor's POV. He appeared scared at first, swiftly bolting off and diving behind the animal pens to hide from him. He was comforted by Omelette, who helped him gain some confidence. He seemed wary as Mianite approached him, and the god offered him a few pieces of bread, which he took. Mianite told him that even though Clear Sky was not a follower of his, he may as well give him something, to which Omelette mumbled, "A peace offering." Before he left, Clear Sky told Mianite that he was "just fearful."

Omelette
Clear Sky and Omelette grew quickly close after they met each other, Omelette very happily leading him on a tour when they met. They later played a game Omelette called "Word Scramble" at Ianite's Palace, taking the banners and attempting to make words with them, to which Clear Sky spelled out "nice" and told Omelette, "Nice, just like you." Omelette also gave Clear Sky a cake shortly after finding his tower, and later leaned his head onto his shoulder at Pylades's house. When they returned to Omelette's house, they talked about each other's worlds, history, and gods. Clear Sky states in Episode 46 of Taylor's POV that they are boyfriends. They had their first date on Episode 49 of Taylor's POV.

Omelette moved in with Clear Sky in the aftermath of Episode 54 of Taylor's POV. The two had some minor complications eventually come up due to Intuition saying both of them were hiding something. One of these hidden things was discovered to be Sky secretly being human.

Blondetheftauto
Taylor and Clear Sky have a fairly friendly relationship. Taylor is the collector of Cardinal's Journals, which Clear Sky lost most entries of after he fell into the Realm. Clear Sky trusts Taylor to find and collect the journals which he's lost, and he is fine with her going through their pages. Taylor often calls Clear Sky and Omelette being together "cute".

Clear Sky seems to trust Taylor with some of his secrets, just as he does with Andor. She is the first person he revealed to that he saw Botan's face beneath his cloak.

Taylor later speculated and stressed about Clear Sky perhaps abusing or otherwise mistreating Omelette, and considered he may be the evil Andor that Botan wrote about in Past Universe.

Their trust was broken for the most part after Episode 65 of Taylor's POV. This was due to Sky's mistrust of the Shadows and Alt Ianite's growing paranoia.

Alt Ianite began to guide Taylor away from Botan, and after some time Sky began to trust Taylor again, becoming a close friend of hers.

After losing his memory, he lived in Taylor's basement, beginning to depend on her for basic needs as he normally refused to leave after Omelette's death.

Ianite
Clear Sky met Ianite in Episode 51 of Taylor's POV. Despite not being of each other's realms, Clear Sky still follows this Ianite as truly as he does his own, and Ianite still treats him as one of her followers. Ianite defends Clear Sky from Insanity, telling Insanity to leave him alone and saying that Sky doesn't have to talk about his past if he doesn't want to, as well as defending him against the claim that he is an alternate of Prince Andor's.

He mentions to Andor that he had devoted his life to Ianite, and that he'd do anything she told him to do or guided him to. He also says that Ianite knows who he really is.

Insanity
Insanity picks fun at Clear Sky throughout some of the episodes, telling him to kill Omelette most of the time. Clear Sky does not seem to enjoy whispering to him unlike some others, but instead vocalizes his responses to Insanity aloud. Most notably, they bother him during Episdoe 51 of Taylor's POV, possibly disguised as Intuition. They told him to be afraid of or kill Omelette, saying that Sky did not know what he was and what he had done. Ianite defends Clear Sky after he starts to speak in response to Insanity. As Clear Sky asks Insanity why he hides his own past (in defense to Insanity asking why Omelette hides his past), Insanity states "Because you're a wimp", to which Clear Sky says "I know."

Insanity claimed Clear Sky was secretly an alternate of Prince Andor (which Taylor believed he was), though Clear Sky laughs off this claim saying, "Please. I'm not him. I never was him. I am myself. I am an acolyte. I am my work." This was later proven to be true.

Insanity has not talked to Sky since, though after the Static, Sky is often jumpy when it comes to voices in his head (such as Alt Ianite and Botan), and claims he's going mad.

Nick/Dave
Clear Sky very obviously despises Nick, calling him an "asshole" from time to time. This hatred started primarily from Nick flirting with Omelette, even after he and Sky stated they were in a relationship. Hatred also stemmed from Nick vocalizing his dislike of people who aren't Mianitees.

Clear Sky got into a fight with Nick during Episode 54 of Taylor's POV, shooting him once with Europa, temporarily killing him. Nick also temporarily killed him back, and later blew up Omelette's farm. Omelette moved in with Clear Sky since.

Nick stole Sky's two device drivers, six storage cells, and his sword Callisto after fighting him in his tower. He also saw who he was when he took off his helmet for Omelette, saying he's got blackmail now. However, Sky wasn't too worried about this. The drivers and cells were soon returned.

Nick revealed Clear Sky's true identity as Prince Andor after temporarily killing him on top of his destroyed reactor in Episode 59 of Taylor's POV.

LOLFZTER
Clear Sky is curious of Andor, teleporting to him oftentimes when he is around. In a non-recorded episode, Clear Sky spawned zombies on him likely to test his strength.

Andor was the first hero Clear Sky met in the Realm. In one of Andor's streams, he falls into conversation with him, curious to what universe Andor came from, saying he "knows the other's stories, but not [Andor's]". After he told Andor he was a storyteller, Andor asked him to talk some about his Ruxomar, Clear Sky explains some of his backstory to Andor. He hasn't been shown to do this with other streamers, despite not knowing Andor all that well.

Clear Sky and Andor grew closer in Episode 25 of Andor's POV after Sky talked more of his own history, revealing to Andor the lessons he learned while spending time in Urulu. Sky is curious as to whether or not these lessons Andor will also have to learn, being his alternate, or if they even apply to Andor at all due to him not being an Ianitee like Sky.

World Historian
Botan and Clear Sky were discovered to have history with each other in Episode 55 of Taylor's POV. Sky reveals to Taylor after discovering that Botan is talking to her that he saw his face beneath his hood, saying it was horrible and not the most memorable of things.

It's evident Botan and Clear Sky have a rough relationship with each other, as when Botan bothers Taylor, Omelette, Dallas, and Sky when they're remodeling Taylor's house, Sky pulls his weapons to attack if Botan appears. Clear Sky calls him a "wretched, wretched man". Sky was also seen drawing his boomerang on Botan during Episode 65 of Taylor's POV.

A later-revealed conversation proves that Sky and Botan have a bad history with one another, hinting at the ending of Chimalus's The Clear Sky Hermit, where Andor had an encounter with Botan. He and Alt Ianite show a mutual hatred of Botan, though Alt Ianite does not attempt to harm Botan. Cardinal, after becoming the Odogowan Historian, also states that she's become her "friends' worst nightmare" due to becoming a historian herself, referencing Botan as World Historian.

Botan manipulated the Static in order to wipe Sky's memory and he ordered Death to kill him after one of his speeches, resulting in him losing his memory. After Sky moved in with Taylor, he began to refuse food from anyone except Botan, causing an influx of food in his chest that he did not eat.

Nickname Puzzles
One feature of Clear Sky's and Cardinal's writing is an overuse of nicknames. Clear Sky stated in Journal 9 that this is because he is trying to protect himself and others from corrupt authority. He began using nicknames as a way to keep himself from being imprisoned for treason. This has become a bit of a habit for him.

Cardinal Journal Nicknames

 * "Cardinal" - Revealed to be an alternate Alyssa. She is Clear Sky's best friend and traveling partner. She is described in Flux Flu Strain E1R2 Study (Pyrite's Notes) to be an "average mortal".
 * "Bolt" - Taylor suspects him to be an alternate Spark, though it's mentioned he and Emerald are separate people. Cardinal cracks jokes about him "losing his charge", and he is mentioned to once be very outgoing and mischievous, but has become serious over the years. It is also mentioned Clear Sky "trusts him with his life."
 * "Jaybird" - Taylor suspects him to be an alternate Tucker. He is a Mianitee and a member of the Golden Realm, and seems to be in kahoots with "Red". It was mentioned that "he'd do anything for Mianite."
 * "Red" - Taylor suspects her to be an alternate Sonja. She is a Mianitee and member of the Golden Realm, and seems to be in kahoots with "Jaybird". She is said to be very hesitant, and reportedly has pointed ears. She is described in Flux Flu Strain E1R2 Study (Pyrite's Notes) to be a "mortal hero" and carrier of various strains of the Flux Flu.
 * "Emerald" - Taylor suspects him to be an alternate Spark, though it's mentioned he and Bolt are separate people. He is wary of Jaybird and Red.
 * "Pyrite"/"Fool's Gold" - Revealed to be an alternate Deviser Gaines. He is close friends with Bolt and is mentioned to build robots. It's said that he once ran a "test" by spying on people, which Bolt claims to be the subject of. He is the author of Flux Flu Strain E1R2 Study (Pyrite's Notes). In Journal 14, it was revealed that Mianite disowned him as his champion sometime in the early days of the realm of Ezaven.
 * "Mystic" - Revealed to be an alternate Martha. She is another trusted figure of Clear Sky's and it seems that he'll go to her to calm down from stress. She is an Ianitee. She is described in Flux Flu Strain E1R2 Study (Pyrite's Notes) to be a "mortal god", and it is said in the Cardinal Journals that she started growing horns after the fall to Ezaven and she grew large dragon-like wings in Journal 11.
 * "Europa" or "Snowy Owl" - Revealed to be an alternate Queen Freya. Clear Sky's mother. She died from the flux flu along with Pygmy Owl. She is an Ianitee and is likely the reason for Clear Sky's fascination with birds.
 * "Ganymede" or "Pygmy Owl" - Revealed to be an alternate Princess Alva, though Taylor suspected her to be an alternate Ianita. She is Clear Sky's little sister. She died of the flux flu at a young age.
 * "Jupiter" - Revealed to be an alternate King Helgrind. Clear Sky's father. He supposedly went mad after the deaths of Pygmy Owl and Snowy Owl.
 * "Hummingbird" - Clear Sky first references Hummingbird during the Dianite revival in Episode 50 of Taylor's POV.

Bird Nicknames and References
Nicknames and references based off of various species of birds is an overly common theme throughout Sky's lore. This habit stems from Snowy Owl teaching Pygmy and Sky to identify these species. They all appear to have separate meaning throughout the story.
 * "Pygmy Owl" - Clear Sky's little sister, an alternate Princess Alva. Pygmy owls are the overall group of pygmy owl and owlet species. They are smaller than other owls, referencing the fact that Pygmy is Sky's little sister.
 * "Snowy Owl" - Clear Sky's mother, an alternate Queen Freya. Snowy owls are a specific species of owl that are large and found in arctic regions. Snowy owls blend in well within their natural habitat.
 * Clear Sky - He has several instances of bird-related references, the first two contained in Cardinal Journal 19, where Cardinal writes, "[Sky's] not an eagle. He's not a bird of prey. He's a dove. He's a bird of peace. He needs to remember that."
 * Eagle - Eagle is a common name for many birds of prey. In some cultures, they are often seen of symbols of power and strength. In Chimalus's The Clear Sky Hermit, Prince Andor refers to himself (or more specifically his wings) as such. Cardinal stating he is "not an eagle" may refer to Sky not being a strong or powerful person. In A Weight Off Your Shoulders, Alternate Ianite tells a younger Sky that she doesn't want him to be an eagle.
 * Diamond dove - Diamond doves are a species of dove native to arid and semi-arid areas in Australia. This may refer to Sky's preference of dry climates over non-dry climates, as seen in the Cardinal Journals. Their calls sound almost mournful, perhaps referencing Sky's overall sadness in the Journals. In A Weight Off Your Shoulders, Alternate Ianite tells a younger Sky that he would much better be a dove than an eagle, as they're peaceful. Also this may reference the time Andor was called "little dove" by Martha in Ianita's Kidnap.


 * "Cardinal" - Clear Sky's best friend, an alternate Alyssa. Cardinal refers to the overall family of cardinals and buntings in North and South America. Many species are known for their bright red coloration, referring to Cardinal's red facepaint. Cardinals were also found to suppress some diseases after being infected with them, possibly referencing her immunity to two of the flux flu strains in Pyrite's Notes and her developed immunity to another.
 * "Jaybird" - One of Clear Sky's enemies. A jaybird is a another name for jays, a group of species of corvids. As a slang term in American culture, a "jay" refers to a foolish or reckless person, likely referencing that Jaybird was both.
 * "Hummingbird" - Hummingbird's identity is currently unknown. Hummingbirds are a family of species containing the smallest birds in the world. Hummingbirds are known for their colorful plumage and rapid wingbeats.
 * "Fledgling" - This is LOLFZTER's nickname. Fledgling is a word used to describe young birds who have recently learned to fly. The significance of this nickname remains unknown aside from the fact that Sky may be an alternate Prince Andor, similarly to Andor himself, and that Andor is younger than Sky.

Trivia

 * The Clear Sky Hermit's appearance and namesake comes from the statue in Urulu that goes by the same name that was shown in Chimalus's The Clear Sky Hermit.
 * Clear Sky has a knack for giving people nicknames. Currently, he refers to Taylor as "Nether Quartz", to Andor as "Fledgling" and sometimes as "little bird", to Mazer as "Lionfish", and to Pylades as "Lemon Pie". He can't decide on a specific nickname for Omelette.
 * It became clear in Journal 9 that Clear Sky depends on nicknames to get on the outside of laws and defend himself and others from corrupt authority. Clear Sky also confirms this when talking about the S2 Sky Heroes to Andor.
 * Though it started as a behind the scenes joke because of the amount of lemon trees outside Angel's house on the TruthRPG server, Clear Sky likes citrus fruit.
 * Clear Sky had not been to the End until Episode 20 of Andor's POV, but he has been to the Nether.
 * Clear Sky and Omelette's ship name is Starry Sky.
 * Clear Sky is bisexual.
 * Clear Sky has belonephobia (fear of needles) and claustrophobia (fear of small spaces). It is also hinted he has visual looming syndrome.
 * Europa, Callisto, and Ganymede are all moons of the planet Jupiter, and all of those characters have some sort of relation to Jupiter in mythology.
 * It is unknown whether or not Clear Sky is the evil Andor written about in Past Universe or if he is a completely innocent alternate.
 * Angel, Clear Sky's actor, is a personal fan of the Wings of Fire series, which Cardinal taped quotes from into Journal 21.
 * Angel, despite not acting Botan, wrote Past Universe, where evil Andor was revealed. They also wrote Ianite's book, Distrust.
 * The Static and memory loss is a direct reference to The Adventure Zone: Balance 's usage of static as a "replacement" for items/things/words/sounds that the player characters cannot remember due to memory loss.
 * Alt Ianite also sings lines from Crystal Kingdom in one of her few conversations with the fans in the Fan Discord.
