== History ==
Arsteel joined [[Denth's crew]] in the hopes of bringing [[Denth]] around and orchestrating a reconciliation between him and [[Vasher]].{{wob ref|6806}}
Though he was the better swordsman, he was killed in a duel with Vasher several months before the events of the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]] in Yarn Dred.{{book ref|wb|19}} Vasher 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.{{wob ref|7469}} He was then made into a [[Lifeless]] named '''Clod''' by Denth and subsequently looked after by [[Jewels]].{{book ref|wb|33}}{{wob ref|5838}}
In the middle of an unsuccessful meeting with some Idrian slumlords, Arsteel (as he was Commanded) intervened.{{book ref|wb|31}} Though he was terribly wounded, his nature as Lifeless allowed for Jewels to repair him. After his muscles were sufficiently functional for him to sit up, he attempted to do so, forcing Jewels to Command him to go inactive.{{book ref|wb|33}} In her fear for his life, she slipped up, allowing Vivenna to hear the command phrase--"howl of the sun".
After Vivenna escaped from Vasher, she ran into Denth, Tonk Fah, Jewels, and, of course, Arsteel. Upon seeing the corpses of [[Parlin]] and Tonk Fah's various pets, she realized the group's true nature, and in a desperate bid to escape, Commanded Arsteel to attack Denth, running away in the confusion.{{book ref|wb|35}}

===Denth===
Arsteel joined Denth's team because he wanted to try to redeem Denth; he felt that a reconciliation between Denth and [[Vasher]] was possible, and as a peacemaker, he thought he might be able to make it happen.{{wob ref|6806}}

▲| 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.
