Number eight



 Number Eight, or Joseph (also known as "Naveen" and "Vishnu"), is a boy living in the Himalayas of northern India.

He's already developing powers, such as Telekinesis, as he was seen moving rocks with his mind. Eight is one of the most powerful Loric so far, after Nine.

He has deep emerald green eyes with longish, black, curly hair. He had to learn how to control legacies on his own due to his Cêpan dying. Locals think he's the Hindu god Vishnu reincarnated, apparently because he can change his appearance into that of beasts and other beings. Crayton also mentions that he could be the chosen one who inherited Pittacus Lore's powers thus all of the legacies and can kill Setrákus Ra. It is said that Pittacus Lore had "All Legacies" and was able to take on Setrákus Ra (which resulted in Ra's scar on his throat). Eight was originally named Joseph and also possesses a heightened intuition which acts as a sixth sense. (This is shown in The Rise of Nine when Eight can feel that Six is in New Mexico, though it is unconfirmed whether or not this is one of his Legacies yet).

In the Fall of Five, Eight goes with Five, Six, Seven, and Nine to retrieve Five's chest. After Five is revealed to be a traitor, a fight ensues and Eight, teleporting between Five and Nine, protects Nine from Five's attack, but is stabbed in the heart, killing him. This fulfils the prophecy that was believed to be avoided. He is the first member of the Garde to die out of order.

His legacies include:

Teleportation - can move from place to place instantly without actually traveling the distance between them. Shape Shifting - able to transform his body into any creature he imagines.

Hydro-locomotion- Walking on water.

Extrasensory Perception - This Legacy acts as a sixth sense, it allows the user to determine or predict events that have, will or are currently happening without the user knowing, or being told. Eight demonstrates this in "The Rise of Nine" when he predicted that Six, Seven, Ella and Crayton were going to arrive in India (Though this legacy is unconfirmed).

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Andalus","serif"">Enhancement - All Garde possess enhanced physical strength, speed, reflexes, endurance and durability. It was then found that he met an old man that was able to teach him after his Cêpan, Reynolds, was killed by the Mogadorians because he was betrayed by the woman he loved. This man was not Pittacus Lore, as Pittacus was confirmed to have died in The Fall of Five.
