On Clearsight's first day of school, she finds her way to the 'Tower of Knowledge' in the NightWing school. There she meets her teacher, Allknowing. Allknowing appears to detest Clearsight from their first meeting when Clearsight is not only able to find her classroom on her first day but predicts that "a huge storm is going to roll in three days from now and class will have to be canceled for a week of rain. I know that the queen is planning to evaluate all of her potential seers in a month and she won't be pleased." After this statement, Allknowing quotes a line from one of her previous prophecies: ''"Dragon of chaos, tangling the webs, too many eyes and too many threads" ''and comes to the sudden conclusion that her new student's name is Clearsight, much to the awe of her students, [[Jewel-eyes|Jewel]]-[[Jewel-eyes|eyes]], [[Vision]], and [[Morrowwatcher]].

Allknowing's character reappears in Chapter 19 of ''Darkstalker'', in Queen Vigilance's court "glittering with poise and diamonds." There Clearsight delivers a warning, that the [[IceWings]] were planning an invasion by sea on North Beach. Queen Vigilance is surprised by the straightforwardness of this vision and asks Allknowing what she knows of such events. Allknowing replies that she did'' ''have such a vision, one about ''waves of ice dragons ''and a ''midnight menace''. Queen Vigilance politely compliments Allknowing on the poetic nature of her prophecy, but then makes Clearsight her new personal seer.

'''Allknowing''' was an adult female [[NightWing]] who was introduced in ''[[Darkstalker (Legends)|Darkstalker]]''. Before [[Clearsight]] took her place, she served as [[Queen Vigilance]]'s head seer. She was also a teacher for the other [[dragonet]] seers at the [[NightWing school]].


She is also later seen in the last few chapters of ''Darkstalker: Legends'' when Clearsight was summoned yet again to Queen Vigilance's court, having told Queen Vigilance of a prophecy concerning Darkstalker, convincing the queen that Darkstalker was out to kill her and get her throne.
