== History ==
Sixteen is from Scadrial,{{wob ref|15984}} but it is unclear how or why he came to live in Lasting Integrity. The local [[spren]] find him odd, but they do not mind having him around; he seems to have very little interaction with anyone.{{book ref|sa4|75}}
When [[Shallan Davar]] came to Lasting Integrity hunting [[Restares]] she suspected that Sixteen was the man she was looking for. When the day came for Sixteen to leave his house Shallan sat outside waiting for him to emerge. When she confronted him and pulled back his hood and upon seeing his Shin appearance realized that he was not Restares. Sixteen then shouted at her in a language she did not recognize and fled back into his house.{{book ref|sa4|75}}

== Trivia ==
{{theory}}
*Given Sixteen's origins on Scadrial and the fact that he does not seem to eat or drink, fans have speculated that he is a magical being of some kind (such as a [[Cognitive Shadow]] or a [[kandra]]) or that he can somehow subsist solely on [[Investiture]]. However, Brandon has provided very limited information when asked about him.{{wob ref|14812}}
