'''Glys''' is aan [[lightspren]]{{bookunknown ref|sa3|116}}type of spren that formed a [[Nahel bond]] with [[Renarin Kholin]].{{book ref|sa2|89}}
 
He grants Renarin the powers of the [[Truthwatchers]], an order of the [[Knights Radiant]]{{book ref|sa2|89}} which gives Renarin access to the [[Surge]]s of Illumination and Progression.{{ref|name=surgechart}} However, Renarin also has visions, which are also possible due to Glys' bond. This bond caused Renarin to hear screams when touching his killed [[Shardblade]], which he initially believed to be a sign of his weakness or possibly insanity. Glys explained otherwise and told Renarin which order of Radiants he had joined.{{book ref|sa2|89}}
{{theory}}
Glys has not yet appeared in text, but it is possible that his appearance can be logically derived. If we make the assumption that spren of a given order appear the same, then we may have seen a spren like Glys. The shoemaker [[Ym]] had the ability to use the Surge Progression, his spren had the appearance of a glowing light, with tendrils reaching upward like a plant growing.{{book ref|sa2|i|2}} Both the [[Edgedancers]] and the Truthwatchers could use Progression, but we've seen the spren of the Edgedancers in [[Wyndle]].{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} They take the shape of a growing vine with crystal specks embedded within it. So Ym is presumably a Truthwatcher, and thus Glys probably takes a similar shape to Ym's spren.
 
It is unknown what type of spren (and therefore all other spren that Truthwatchers bond) Glys is. It is possible that he is a corrupted Reacher, or lightspren, however it seems far more likely that Reachers are actually the type of spren that form Nahel Bonds with Willshapers.
 
It is possible that Glys is a corrupted keenspren (mentioned by Wyndle in Edgedancer) {{book ref|edgedancer|6}}
