History

He pretends to pursue romantic involvement with Shallan Davar during her time in Kharbranth with the goal of assassinating her mentor and teacher Jasnah Kholin, a well-known atheist. Shallan at first suspects him trying to convert Jasnah, and then later believes he seeks to prevent Shallan from becoming an atheist. He and Shallan share a passion for jam, and he often brings jam to the library where Jasnah and Shallan spend most of their time. Jasnah is unwelcoming, claiming that is what Kabsal expects, and if she had been welcoming he would have been surprised and suspicious.

When Shallan is in the hospital talking to Jasnah, he brings poisoned bread with jam as the antidote, knowing that Jasnah doesn't like jam and will only eat the bread. Jasnah discovers this, and soulcasts the bread. She also saves Shallan by soulcasting her blood to remove the poison from it.[2] Kabsal is not, in fact, an Ardent, but instead a member of the Ghostbloods.[3]
