|My sorrow, Renarin. I will give you my sorrow.
Glys takes the form of a bright red crystalline structure, resembling a snowflake, which shimmers and drips light upwards.{{book ref|sa3|115}} This is not the form of normal mistspren, who appear as light reflected through crystal on a surface.{{book ref|sa3|53}}{{book ref|sa3|104}}{{book ref|sa2.5|20}} His altered appearance is the result of Sja-anat’s corruption,{{book ref|sa3|116}} and he intentionally tends to stay invisible or hidden within Renarin.{{wob ref|6849}}{{book ref|sa4|54}}
 
As a [[Shardblade]], Glys is long and thin, with almost no crossguard. There are ‘wavingwaving folds to the metal, like it had been forged.'{{book ref|sa3|10}}
 
Little is known of his personality, other than that he is excitable and optimistic.{{book ref|sa3|120}}{{book ref|sa4|54}}
 
=== Nahel bond ===
Even as a corrupt mistspren, Glys is able to grant Renarin access to the Surges of [[Progression]] and [[Illumination]]. It is unknownnot known how many Ideals Renarin has spoken, but their bond has progressed to the point where he is able to summon Glys as a Shardblade.{{book ref|sa3|10}}
 
=== Other abilities ===
Due to Sja-anat’s influence, the bond with Glys also gives Renarin the ability to see visions of the future (which is typically of Odium). These visions are often but not always accurate, and appear as sequences of stained glass panels on the walls or floors, sometimes with numbers or words beneath them. Neither Glys nor Renarin are able to control when these visions strike, although they can capture and replay the visions with some effort.{{book ref|sa3|117}}{{book ref|sa3|120}}{{book ref|sa4|54}}
 
Glys has the ability to hide himself, even from peoplethe who would normally be able to see invisible spren[[Sighted]] (such as [[Rock]]).{{book ref|sa3|37}}

=== Enlightening ===
Glys was corrupted by [[Sja-anat]] before bonding Renarin, though he does not remember this event very well.{{book ref|sa3|117}} Sja-anat has referred to this process as '''Enlightening'''.{{book ref|sa3|97}}
While initially Glys was unsure if it was possible, he was able to manifest as a [[Shardblade]] not long after they arrived in [[Urithiru]]. Renarin showed this to Adolin and returned his dead Shardblade to him.{{book ref|sa3|10}} When Shallan was searching for [[Re-Shephir]] in the library of Urithiru, Renarin and Glys accompanied her, along with Adolin and the rest of [[Bridge Four]]. Glys was frightened by the sense of wrongness and refused to speak.{{book ref|sa3|29}}

Glys also helped Renarin in discovering the [[Urithiru gem archive|gem archive]] hidden in the library room of Urithiru. Due to their bond, Renarin was able to see visions showing him how to find the gemstones hidden in wall compartments as well as how the compartments could be opened and the gemstones accessed.{{book ref|sa3|117}}
