Tevidian was shown to deeply care about the stability of the Final Empire, much moreso than the Lord Ruler. Tevidian was extremely agitated at the Great Houses' fall.{{book ref
==Conflict with Inquisitors and Death==
The cantons of the Steel Ministry often had internal political struggles{{annotation ref|mb1|chapter=36}}, and the Canton of Inquisition sought organizational dominance over the rest of the Ministry for centuries.{{book ref
[[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, bore 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 plunged their daggers into Tevidian repeatedly, who exulted in the brutality.{{book ref

|Your point is proven, Kar," the Lord Ruler said, sitting wearily on his throne. "It seems that I have trusted too much in the... obedience of mankind. I did not make a mistake. I have never made a mistake. However, it is time for a change. Gather the high prelans and bring them here—rouse them from their beds, if need be. They will witness as I grant the Canton of Inquisition command and authority over the Ministry.
