== Appearance and Personality ==
Denth appears to be a man in his thirties. He dresses in nondescript brown leather, but he keeps some colour, such as his red vest. He has a long face and styled hair pulled back into a neat short ponytail.{{book ref|wb|8}}{{expand}}
Little is known of Denth's life before he shows up in [[Hallandren]]. Denth was a scholar before the Many war and hates [[Vasher]] for killing his sister [[Shashara]] and does not care that [[Vasher]] did it to protect the secret of [[Awakening]] steel.▼
{{missing gallery}}
Some time after the [[Manywar]] he took the name Denth and created a mercenary band with [[Tonk Fah]], [[Jewels]], and [[Arsteel]]. At some point Arsteel encountered Vasher and was killed by him. Denth took this opportunity to see how a dead returned works as a [[Lifeless]], and they renamed him [[Clod]].▼
==
Denth is a superb swordsman. He is so quick he can kill most people, even trained warriors, before they can react. Even accomplished fighters such as Vasher are clearly outmatched by him.{{book ref|wb|22}}{{book ref|wb|57}}
Denth conspires with the [[Pahn Kahl]] rebels to overthrow the [[God King]]'s parliament. Denth and his band infiltrate the [[Idrian]] spy network to kidnap [[Vivenna]]. Acting as mercenaries working for [[Lemex]] they befriended Vivenna after they poisoned lemex and making it look like he died of illness. Denth uses Vivenna to increase tensions between [[Hallandren]] and [[Idris]] to drive [[Hallandren]] to war. Later, after [[Vivenna]] is kidnapped by [[Vasher]], Denth and [[Tonk Fah]] torture and kill [[Parlin]], [[Vivenna]]'s friend. When Vivenna escape from Vasher and returns to the safe house she uncovers the truth about Denth and [[Tonk Fah]] and Denth is attacked by [[Clod]] on [[Vivenna]]'s command and then she escapes. Denth catches [[Vasher]] while he is attemping to rescure Vivenna's sister [[Siri]] who is living in the god king's palace. Denth has Vasher's sword Nightblood thrown in the water and has Vasher hung by his wrists in a room with no color in the god king's palace to interrogate him. After retrieving Nightblood, Vivenna is able to assist in [[Vasher]]'s escape. Denth is killed by [[Vasher]] in a duel. Vasher stabs Denth after transferring what [[Breath]] he had left into Denth to stun him. Vasher was not a better swordsman than Denth.▼
Denth is remarkably clever and understands [[Awakening]] on an advanced level, as one of the Five Scholars.{{book ref|wb|57}}
== Death ==▼
During the Pahn kahl Rebellion Denth fights a duel with Vasher to prove that Vasher is not a better swordsman than Arsteel. Denth's fight with Vasher reveals that Denth is the better swordsman. Vasher gives his [[Breath]]s to Denth, effectively stunning him for a moment and Vasher runs him through with his dagger. As Denth dies, his hair flashes between colors, eventually falling to stark white. Denth has the royal locks, independent from being a [[Returned]].{{qa ref|979|167}}▼
Denth is a consummate actor and manipulator, able to deceive [[Vivenna]] and the other Idrians for months into setting up a war for him.
