The Rosharan Ghostbloods seek power. They are seeking a way to get [[Stormlight]] ([[Investiture]]) offworld from [[Roshar]] through [[Shadesmar]]. They hunt [[Restares]] and the [[Sons of Honor]] as they fear they are close to discovering the secret of making this possible. Stormlight is free, portable, easy-to-access power.{{book ref|sa4|13}} To attain this goal, they need control of the [[Oathgate]]s, which inspired their hunt for [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa4|9}} They seek
The Ghostbloods are obsessed with finding [[Ba-Ado-Mishram]], who has the ability to bind minds of an entire people, though it is unclear the reason.{{book ref|sa4|24}} They are not interested in seeing [[Odium]] rule Roshar.{{book ref|sa4|13}} They seek to bond [[Sja-anat]], as her ancient knowledge would be invaluable.{{book ref|sa4|30}}
The Ghostbloods own a tenement building in [[Highprince]] [[Sebarial]]'s warcamp on the [[Shattered Plains]] that has a basement. In it there was a display of trophies that [[Shallan]] saw, including several enormous [[gemheart]]s, a tusk was probably from a [[whitespine]], an eye socket that looked like the structure of a [[santhid]]’s skull, a vial of pale [[Sand (Taldain)|sand]],{{wob ref|9288}} a couple of thick hairpins, a lock of golden hair, a [[Yolen|Yolish]] branch of a tree with writing on it,{{wob ref|5331}} a silver knife, an odd flower preserved in some kind of solution, and a chunk of pale [[Aether|pink crystal]] that looked like it might be some kind of gemstone.{{wob ref|12314}} There were also shells that Shallan vaguely recognized. There were no plaques describing any of these mementos.{{book ref|sa2|43}}
On Scadrial, they have a safehouse at house one eighty-seven, near Thirty-Third and Finete in
== Structure ==
Upon joining the Ghostbloods, they share everything they know and the member can influence decisions. The Ghostbloods do not keep secrets from fellow members, but in most cases members are also not allowed to share Ghostblood secrets with non-members.{{book ref|mb7|47}} Mraize warned Shallan that if she were to break ties with the group, she would be hunted. He and his babsk would not hunt her, but all they could do was discourage others.{{book ref|sa4|13}} Members are not to share secret information with anyone outside of the organization, doing so would result in the assassination of the offender, due to the danger it can pose to the organization.{{book ref|mb7|47}}{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|1}}
[[Thaidakar]] is not on [[Roshar]] and only comes as what they consider an avatar;{{book ref|sa4|115}}{{wob ref|14641}} he does show up directly to the Scadrian Ghostbloods.{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|1}} Thaidakar does affect the Rosharan Ghostbloods' actions, but they are a little removed from him on Roshar.{{wob ref|15014}}

=== Formation ===
The Ghostbloods were formed on Scadrial at some point between the Scadrian year {{date|1|FA}} and the Vorin year {{rosharan date|1168}}.{{cite}}
=== Attempted Murder of Jasnah Kholin ===
The Ghostbloods have made several attempts to murder Jasnah Kholin, and claims that she has had a number of their members assassinated as well. When Jasnah spent time in [[Kharbranth]] to study the Voidbringers, a Ghostblood agent named [[Kabsal]] infiltrated the local Ardentia in order to kill Jasnah. He used her young ward [[Shallan Davar]] to get close to Jasnah, which led to them forming a relationship. As Kabsal attempted to poison Jasnah with bread, he was inadvertently killed when he ate some of the poisoned bread and Jasnah Soulcast his antidote, mistakenly believing that to be the poison. Jasnah later found the Ghostblood tattoo on Kabsal's arm.
=== Recruiting Sja-anat ===
During her wedding, Shallan is instructed in a letter from Mraize to recruit [[Sja-anat]] into the Ghostbloods.{{book ref|sa3|122}} [[Mraize]] requested a bond between a Ghostblood and one of her "enlightened" spren. Shallan only arranged a meeting.{{book ref|sa4|13}}
=== Bringing other forms of Investiture to Roshar ===
=== Resistance against Trell ===
The Ghostbloods on Scadrial worked in order to resist the oncoming threat of [[Trell (Trellism)|Trell]].{{book ref|mb7|39
On {{date|348|FA}} the Ghostbloods attempted to recruit [[Marasi Colms]] and sent [[Wan ShaiLu|Moonlight]] to deliver a message to her telling that the Ghostbloods were watching her and were impressed.{{book ref|mb7|15}}{{book ref|mb7|8}}
Several days later the Ghostbloods contacted [[Kelsier]] via [[Seon]] in their hideout in [[Bilming]] informing him that the [[Set]] had developed a bomb to destroy [[Elendel]].{{book ref|mb7|40}}
After Kelsier informed the Ghostbloods that he wouldn't get to Bilming in time, [[Prasanva|TwinSoul]], Moonlight and Marasi discovered and infiltrated the Set's underground [[Wayfarer|caverns]].{{book ref|mb7|44}} Since Moonlight and Marasi were discovered and confronted by Set soldiers after Marasi's attempt to save a group of people from execution, Moonlight used a [[soulstamp]] to rewrite her history and become an [[Elantrian]] so Marasi could escape.{{book ref|mb7|50}}{{book ref|mb7|54}}. Ghostblood agents in Elendel were ordered to assist the local authorities with organising the evacuation, as they too would not reach Bilming in time.{{book ref|mb7|40}}{{book ref|mb7|70}}
After [[Waxillium Ladrian|Wax]] and [[Wayne]] stopped the bomb that the Set sent to Elendel, Marasi met with Kelsier and the Ghostbloods in Elendel and told them that she wouldn't join with them, because of their rule of keeping their information secret. After that TwinSoul supposedly went on a mission to track down Moonlight.{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|1}}
== Trivia ==
* The Ghostbloods find [[Hoid]] intriguing.{{wob ref|12011}}
* The Ghostbloods do not trust the [[Sleepless]]. They are worried about having their organization taken over.{{wob ref|12657}}
* The [[Mistborn (series)#Era 3: Ghostbloods Trilogy|third Mistborn series]] will be subtitled 'Ghostbloods'.{{wob ref|16170}}
