| − | In exchange for [[Soulcast]] scrap metal, he often traded chickens, cloth, and exotic dried meats to Vstim. [[Rysn]] noticed as she observed one of these dealings that Thresh used humility instead of boasting as a form of haggling, downplaying the importance of his wares and expecting the other side to do the same. Vstim confirmed that this was typical of Shin traders.{{book ref|wok|i|4}} |

| − | |||
| − | Nearly seven years prior to Rysn's visit to Shinovar, Thresh gave a [[Truthless]] man to Vstim. The Thaylen merchant insisted on paying for the slave, but afterwards Thresh had to throw the money away as Shin were not allowed to accept money for Truthless, who were shunned by Shin society.{{book ref|wok|i|4}} That Truthless was [[Szeth]], who was later sold to the [[Parshendi]] and became known as the Assassin in White.{{book ref|twok|prologue}} |
