A spoiler-free guide to Fourth Wing, Iron Flame & Onyx Storm (The Empyrean).
Only showing what’s been revealed up to your current progress. Future events, identities, and relationships are hidden.
Overview
Baylor Norris is a stocky first-year cadet first noted during assessment among the riders.
He survives Threshing and remains part of Flame Section's first-year cohort.
Baylor later manifests farsight, giving him a tactically useful signet among the younger riders.
Appearance
Baylor is stocky and has nervous eyes.
His black hair is trimmed with skulls.
Personality and Behavior
During Fourth Wing's Iron Squad celebration, Baylor shouts the loudest with Flame Section and shoulder-bumps Aaric into joining the cheer.
When the first-years come to help, Baylor challenges Garrick by saying they are the actual Iron Squad and should be allowed to contribute.
During the Suniva analysis in Battle Brief, Baylor asks whether a powerful fire wielder stationed with Southern Wing could have controlled the flames.
Relationships
Baylor belongs to Flame Section's surviving first-year group, with his survival reported alongside Avalynn's and Lynx's as good news for the cohort.
Baylor helps protect the flier first-years during the First Wing crisis. He warns Violet's group that Beinhaven has seized a Tail Section flier, leads them through the courtyard, helps Rhiannon pull Kai back when Kai tries to accept the forced challenge, and later covers Kai's back with Lynx as the first-years enter Battle Brief.
Abilities and Skills
Baylor manifests farsight. Violet immediately connects the signet to Liam, making the ability personally resonant as well as useful.
Baylor is one of the stronger students in Trissa's rune class, ranking close behind Cat, Quinn, Imogen, Sloane, and Maren in the integrated training group.
His farsight is used during the defense at Medaro Pass. When wyvern rise from the valley floor, Baylor's count of seventeen gives the defenders a clear measure of what three dragons and four gryphons are facing.
Important Events
During assessment, Baylor faces Mischa Levin and is decisively beaten when she flips and trounces him.
Baylor makes it through Threshing, though no dragon details are given for him.
