Five Scholars
Vasher was a member of the Five Scholars. He worked with Shashara to create Nightblood, among other things.
He and Shashara married shortly before he slew her with Nightblood to prevent the knowledge of its creation from being disseminated.
Fighting broke out when Arsteel attempted to disarm Vasher so as to talk sense into him. Arsteel, however, was slain by Vasher in their duel for at first unknown reasons. As Arsteel was the superior swordsman, Vasher was forced to use a trick to win the fight. When, during the events of Warbreaker, he fought Denth, we learned how he defeated Arsteel: He passed on a small quantity of Breaths to Arsteel, and slew the other Scholar when the shock of receiving Breath stunned him. The same way Vasher beat Denth.
The Manywar
Vasher, then known as Kalad, started an aggressive war between his kingdom, Hallandren, and the kingdoms of Kuth and Huth. The exact details are unknown, although it was hinted that Vasher was the first to strike. He believed war was unavoidable and decided to attack before the others did instead of trying for peace. The war ended when Vasher, having seen the death caused by the war, used his own creations, Kalad's Phantoms, to take control of Hallandren.
Historians were confused by his sudden change of heart, so it was eventually decided that the war was ended by Peacegiver, through diplomacy.
Peacegiver's Treasure
