Tevidian was shown to deeply care about the stability of the [[Final Empire]], much more so than the [[Lord Ruler]]. Tevidian was extremely agitated at the Great Houses' fall.{{book ref|mb1|36}} Like all obligators, he was required to have extreme faith in the Lord Ruler,{{wob ref|7695}} and so Tevidian was probably agitated because he truly believed in his god and his empire.

[[Kar]] eventually captured Vin, using her as the apex of their arguments against Tevidian and the [[Canton of Orthodoxy]]. Before the Lord Ruler, Kar claimed that no noble house would ever have abandoned her. With Vin being so powerful, at least one of her parents had to come from a very pure line. The Lord Ruler pressed Vin, prompting her to say who her father was. Vin admitted it was the lord prelan.
Tevidian protested, but the Lord Ruler questioned him, and the lord prelan eventually admitted that [[Vin's mother]] had, in fact, borne children. With that confession, the Lord Ruler let the Inquisitors kill Tevidian in his own throne room. The other obligators in the room backed away in horror as the Inquisitors, exulting in the brutality, plunged their daggers into Tevidian repeatedly.{{book ref|mb1|36}} After Tevidian's death, the Canton of Inquisition, with Kar at its head, was given authority over the Steel Ministry.
