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.[3]
He was killed in a duel by Vasher. He was then made into a lifeless named "Clod" by Denth and is now looked after by Jewels.[4] [5]
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.[3] It’s known from annotations that Arsteel didn’t set out to duel with Vasher intending to harm him, but because Vasher thought that was the case, Vasher ended up killing him.
