== History ==
Stargyle was born to a pigmenter, so he grew up viewing the world through its colors.

[[Shallan]] recruited Stargyle into her group of Lightweavers, which she began calling the [[Unseen Court]]. As he was one of the newest recruits, and therefore least known to her, she asked him to accompany the diplomatic mission to [[Lasting Integrity]].{{book ref|sa4|20}} At the last minute, however, his wife fell ill and he had to back out of the trip. [[Beryl]] instead asked to accompany the envoy to the [[honorspren]] instead.{{book ref|sa4|21}}
 
Stargyle ended up accompanying the [[coalition of monarchs|coalition's]] force that recaptured [[Emul]]. When [[Dalinar]] determined that the best way for him to learn to use his [[Bondsmith]] abilities was to speak to [[Ishar]], [[Sigzil]] took Stargyle and a couple of [[Windrunner]]s to scout out the situation in [[Tukar]]. On their return, Stargyle was able to create an illusion for Dalinar that played out a depiction of what the group saw as they flew over Ishar's army.{{book ref|sa4|98}}
