== History ==▼

=== Pre Rebellion ===▼

Little is known of Denth's life before he shows up in [[Hallandren]]. Denth was a scholar before the [[Manywar]] and hates [[Vasher]] for killing his sister [[Shashara]] and does not care that [[Vasher]] did it to protect the secret of [[Awakening]] steel.▼

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]].▼

=== [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]] ===▼

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 made 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 to try and discover where she has gone. When Vivenna escapes 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 then has Vasher's sword Nightblood thrown in the water so it can cause no further harm, then 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, and this was known by both characters.▼

=== Death ===▼

During the Pahn Kahl Rebellion, Denth fights a duel with Vasher to prove that Vasher is not a better swordsman than [[Arsteel]], and to find out how he won. Denth's fight with Vasher reveals that Denth is the better swordsman, however Vasher is more cunning. 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. This reveals that Denth has the [[Royal Locks]], independent from being a [[Returned]].{{qa ref|979|167}}▼
