"But Great Beasts have also never caused such harm in the world. Our calling has ever been to protect and preserve Erdas, to seek balance, to limit tragedy—not to plunge the world into chaos."

–Essix, Tales of the Great Beasts[1]


Essix is a gyrfalcon Great Beast, and Rollan’s spirit animal. She is one of the Four Fallen, and the patron beast of the continent of Amaya.

Overview[]

Essix is a brown morph gyrfalcon[2] (although sometimes just simply referred to as a falcon), with speckles on her breast and amber eyes. She is one of the Great Beasts, and was summoned by Rollan. She is the last spirit animal out of the four to be introduced; thanks to her ability to notice even the smallest detail, she is called Deepseer. She is a free and independent bird that doesn’t come to Rollan when called, unless it’s necessary or if she wants to. Other characters often trust Essix’s powers to see if someone is what they seem.

Wild Born[]

Essix is summoned by Rollan unexpectedly while he was in jail. Almost immediately after, Zerif introduces himself to Rollan and pays his bail. Essix and Rollan leave with Zerif, but Rollan suspects that Zerif was not who he seemed. He distracts the man and makes a run for it, successfully escaping with the help of Olvan’s sudden appearance. Olvan takes Rollan and Essix to Greenhaven, where they are introduced to the other Four Fallen (minus Uraza). Rollan soon learns that Essix is very independent and refuses to listen to his commands, but she also enhances his intuition and agility.

Hunted[]

When Rollan and Conor are imprisoned in Trunswick, Essix is left out of dormant form and finds the rest of the group, and they realize something bad has happened to Rollan and Conor. She leads Abeke, Meilin, and Finn to them. When Rollan asked her about some directions, she taunts him. Finn and Meilin joke about their bond.

Blood Ties[]

Essix mainly flew in the skies as Conor, Abeke, Rollan, and Tarik traveled on Tellun’s Pride. Tarik tells to keep their animals in passive state but Essix couldn’t go into passive state. She stays hidden in case, she is thought to be a messenger bird. She is shown to be slightly protective over Rollan when he has the Sunset Death.

Fire and Ice[]

Essix’s bond with Rollan becomes stronger. Previously, the two weren’t the best duo, both were aloof. Essix’s intuitive skills came in clutch in Samis. She lent the ability to Rollan because Pia was lying to them. When Essix sensed that Rollan was hungry, she fed him some of her jerky. At the end of the book, Essix was able to go in passive state. The tattoo is on Rollan’s heart.

Against the Tide[]

Essix is able to go in dormant state, so Rollan would brag about it. She goes to Nightshade Island with him. For a moment, he isn’t able to see or feel her presence. When he does, he puts in her passive state.

Rise and Fall[]

Essix allows Rollan to see through her eyes while she met with Cabaro for the talisman. Cabaro continuously disrespects her and Briggan. He tells her that Rollan doesn’t actually care about her and Rollan reassures her he does.

Immortal Guardians[]

Before this book, Essix is sent to deliver a message to Meilin in Zhong. Meilin notes that Essix looks tired and annoyed. A mountain lion attacks Abeke. Essix swoops in and attacks it. Her wing ended up injured. Her bond with Rollan felt a bit strange as the Evertree was being attacked. When Halawir is summoned out of passive state by Zerif, Essix swoops and fights him.

Relationships[]

Rollan[]

Rollan and Essix are both loners at heart. From the start, Essix wouldn’t listen to most of her summoner’s commands. However Essix would not abandon him right times in danger and stays close to him when it is necessary, showing that she cares about him. She seems to like giving Rollan a hard time, but does so affectionately. She also enhances Rollan’s vision and intuition when close. While traveling through Arctica in Fire and Ice, Essix steals a piece of jerky from Rollan’s hands, and feeds it to him like he was a baby bird. Rollan often longs to be physically close to Essix throughout this book, but respects that his spirit animal is independent by nature. When the group frees Suka, Essix is transformed into Great Essix with a talisman and carries Rollan through the air. During that time they grow a closer bond, and by the end of the book Essix finally adopts her dormant form; a tattoo over his heart.

Cabaro[]

They seem to have a small rivalry, as shown in Tales of the Great Beasts, when they throw insults at each other. This is shown other times throughout the books as well.
