Five Scholars
World of Origin Nalthis
Universe Cosmere

The Five Scholars were a group of Returned[1] who studied Awakening and BioChroma in detail.[2] Their research led to the ability to create Lifeless with only one Breath as well as the formulation of the Ichor-alcohol necessary to ensure their continued and efficient operation. At least some of them are worldhoppers.[3]

The creation of the Lifeless and other Awakened constructs was one of the reasons for the Manywar. When the war started, the Five Scholars split among the various factions. Nightblood's creation and use in the Battle of Twilight Falls led Vasher to kill Shashara, his wife and collaborator in Nightblood's making, due to his fear that Shashara would mass-produce similar weapons. Denth attempts to kill Vasher as revenge for his killing of Shashara. Arsteel attempted to reconcile them, only for Vasher to kill him due to a misunderstanding. Vasher eventually kills Denth as well.
