== Appearance and Personality ==
{{image|Denth by Imaginative Joy.jpg|side=left|height=250px}}

{{for|/Gallery|more images}}
As a Returned Denth can change his appearance by will.
▲
His overall outlook is cynical, likely colored by his own frustration that he finds himself having to do things he feels bad about.{{wob ref |6731}} {{expand}}
== 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
Denth is a consummate actor and manipulator, able to deceive [[Vivenna]] and the other Idrians for months into setting up a war for him.▼
== History ==
{{image|Denth by ShiroXIX.png|side=right|width=200px}}
=== 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 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 rescue 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.▼
