'''Hariel''' is a [[Fused]] who possesses [[Demid]] during the [[True Desolation]] on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa3|i|6}}

== Appearance and Personality ==

Hariel has a large, statuesque physique with a broad chest and carapace visible along his arms and at the corners of his face. He has a powerful stance and is far taller than [[Venli]] when she is in [[envoyform]]. He has red eyes and speaks the ancient language of the Fused in a deep, commanding voice.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}}

Like many Fused, Hariel expects subservience from all singers of lower rank. He seems to be able to think clearly, and has retained more of his sanity than many Fused. [[Ulim]] thinks that he is one of the most ill-tempered of all the Fused. Hariel respects Ulim's work on Roshar, but dislikes the fact that he uses human-like language and mannerisms.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}}

== Attributes and Abilities ==

Like all Fused, Hariel cannot be killed by conventional means, as he can simply possess the body of a new [[singer]]. Hariel's specific powers are not known, but he is one of the physically larger [[Fused#Brands|brands]] of Fused. He presumably has a high level of control with [[Voidlight]], as he seems to be able to make his body pulse with violet power at will, and he can also pool the power in his hands.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}}

== History ==

|Hariel to Ulim, on Venli{{book ref|sa3|i|6}}

}}

Hariel was bound on [[Braize]] for millenia by the [[Oathpact]]. He was one of the first Fused to return to Roshar through the [[Everstorm]] after the Oathpact was broken and the [[True Desolation]] began. Upon returning, he inhabited the body of a [[listener]] named [[Demid]]. Demid and his once-mate [[Venli]] had not realized the consequences of possession by the Fused. When Venli realized that Demid was gone, she wanted him to be revived, and Ulim had to quickly tell her to address Hariel with more reverence or he would kill her. Hariel explained to Venli that the Fused do not "share" bodies like [[Voidspren]] and informed her that Demid's soul had gone to the "blindness beyond" and could not be brought back.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}}

Hariel also told Venli that her body was intended to be used by a Fused colleague before [[Odium]] stepped in to give her envoyform. He believed that Odium had a purpose for her and told her that she would be taken to [[Alethkar]]. He did not notice that Venli saw [[Timbre]] and quickly concealed her.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}}
