'''Graves''' is an [[Alethi]] [[Shardbearer]] and member of the [[Diagram (group)|Diagram]], who orchestrated several assassination attempts against King [[Elhokar Kholin]].{{book ref|sa2|82}}
== Appearance and Personality ==
Graves is a [[lighteyed]] [[Alethi]] man in his mid-to-late twenties with crisply styled jet-black hair. He is usually impeccably dressed. He claims to be an Alethi patriot.{{book ref|sa2|46}}
He has a set of Shards--both [[Shardplate|Plate]] and [[Shardblade|Blade]]. It is mentioned by [[Moash]] that Graves is an excellent shot with a bow and arrow.{{book ref|sa2|68}}

The railing was cut with a [[Shardblade]], presumably by Graves himself, shortly after a [[highstorm]], when Moash had an opportunity to discretely allow the saboteur through.{{book ref|sa2|23}} Elhokar was able to hold on to the railing after it gave way, however, and was rescued by his guards. [[Kaladin]] assesses this plan as both cowardly and stupid because it failed to directly confront the king and could as easily have hurt someone else.{{book ref|sa2|41}}▼
