Scara Bandaris or Scabandari Bloodeye, also known as Father Shadow, was originally a Tiste Edur. He was a Soletaken Eleint. He was described, in his Tiste Edur form as having skin the shade of hammered iron, long grey hair, a gaunt, aquiline face with hard, and close-set eyes. In his eleint (dragon) form, he was said to have vast, iron-hued wings.
