Constellation Wise One (mèv.)
This is a wise, pale man corresponding to our constellation Ophiuchus, the serpent bearer. He is carrying his staff and Serpent and has the Eagle by his side. Some say the staff is actually a shovel with which he intended to clear the Street of Snow (the Milky Way).
See the constellation Rosebush for his role in the Prince’s quest.

The 131 naked-eye stars
In the ‘Our designation’ column, letters (sometimes with superscript numbers) in front of constellation symbols refer to Bayer’s catalogue or to variable star designations, and numbers to Flamsteed’s catalogue. Row colours roughly approximate the stars’ colours. The links lead to the stars’ entries in the SIMBAD Astronomical Database.
