== Attributes and Abilities ==
As a [[Returned]] Denth is faster and stronger than other people. He is also immune to most toxins and cannot die of old age.
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 is a consummate actor and manipulator, able to deceive [[Vivenna]] and the other Idrians for months into setting up a war for him.

=== Pre Rebellion ===
Little is known of Denth's life before he shows up in [[Hallandren]]. Denth was originally known as VaraTreledees and was a scholar before the [[Manywar]]. He initially tried to stop the war, but ultimately took Vasher's side.{{wob ref|5841}} He now hates [[Vasher]] for killing his sister [[Shashara]] and does not care that
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 has also spent time on the planet [[Roshar]], though when and for what purpose remains unclear.{{wob ref|1511}}

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 befriend Vivenna after poisoning Lemex to make 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]]. In the ensuing confrontation, Denth is attacked by [[Clod]] on [[Vivenna]]'s command, and she escapes. Denth catches Vasher while he is attemping to rescue Vivenna's sister [[Siri]] who is living in the god king's palace. He 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 assists in [[Vasher]]'s escape. Denth is killed by Vasher in a duel; Vasher stabs Denth after transferring what [[Breath]] he had left into Denth in order to stun him. Vasher was not a better swordsman than Denth, and this was known by both characters.▼
