| Died | duel with Vasher[1] |
| Abilities | Returned, Lifeless, Cognitive Shadow |
| Aliases | Clod |
| Profession | Scholar |
| Groups | Five Scholars, Denth's crew |
| Homeworld | Nalthis |
| Universe | Cosmere |
Arsteel is the brother of Yesteel and one of the Five Scholars on Nalthis. [2]
He is one of the greatest swordsmen of their time. [3]
Arsteel joined Denth's team in the hopes of bringing Denth around and orchestrating a reconciliation between him and Vasher. Jewels joined Denth's team because she was in love with Arsteel.[1]
Though he was a better swordsman, he was killed in a duel by Vasher, who defeated him by suddenly giving him a large quantity of Breath. The arrival of that Breath sent Arsteel into a brief moment of deep pleasure, which distracted him for long enough for Vasher to kill him.[4] He was then made into a Lifeless named Clod by Denth and is now looked after by Jewels.[5][6]
Quotes
“ Arsteel always got to be the mean one, ”
“ It shouldn't have happened. Arsteel was a brilliant duelist— almost as good as Denth. Vasher's never been able to beat either of them. ”
“ Vasher didn't use the sword. There was no blackness to Arsteel's wounds. ”
“ You never beat Arsteel. ”
Trivia
- Brandon has said that the reason Vasher dueled and killed Arsteel might be covered in the Warbreaker sequel.[1] It is known from annotations that Arsteel didn’t set out to duel Vasher intending to kill him, but rather wanted to subdue him and "talk some sense into him." Vasher misinterpreted Arsteel's motives, however, and ended up killing him.[9]
- Jewels and Clod may return in the sequel, since they went to see if Yesteel could restore some of Arsteel's memory or personality to his Lifeless form.[10]
