== History ==
=== Birthplace and Heritage (Date Unknown) ===
Though Iyatil now lives on Roshar, it is not her home planet; she is of Southern Scadrian heritage{{wob ref|4879}}, and she personally is from [[Silverlight]].{{wob ref|190}} Iyatil was not born on Scadrial.{{wob ref|12046}}
=== On Roshar (Date Unknown - 1174) ===
As of 1173, Iyatil is a high-ranking member of the Ghostbloods and lives on Roshar. She is present at Shallan's first meeting with the Ghostbloods and follows Shallan after the meeting, trying to track her back to [[Tyn]].{{book ref|sa2|43}} She later accompanies Shallan on a mission for the Ghostbloods, investigating the recent arrival of [[Talenel]] to the Alethi warcamps.{{book ref|sa2|63}} After the [[Battle of Narak]], a character matching her description attempts to assassinate Highlord [[Amaram]] with a blowgun. Her attempt is foiled by [[Talenel]] and she manages to escape.
== Abilities and Attributes ==
Not much is known about Iyatil's abilities. She is confident that she can escape from an Alethi facility without assistance.{{book ref|sa2|64}} After she attempts to assasssinate [[Amaram]], she is described as moving "too quickly" to be chased.{{book ref|sa2|88}} She has also been confirmed to be a worldhopper, supervising Mraize.{{wob ref|1394}}
== Relationships ==
Iyatil is a member of the Ghostbloods and appears to have a particularly close relationship with [[Mraize]].{{book ref|sa2|63}} She was at one time a part of the [[Seventeenth Shard]].{{wob ref|8134}}
== Theories ==
{{theory}}
It is speculated that Iyatil is the 'Visitor' encountered by [[Nicelle Sauvage]] in the mountains of the [[Elendel Basin]].{{file ref|House_Record_broadsheet.jpg|The House Record}}
Iyatil is descended from the Southern Scadrians. Considering the way that she refers to hunters and has passed the hunting ideology and mindset onto [[Mraize]], it is likely that her heritage specifically belongs to the clan known as the [[Southern Scadrian#The Hunters | Hunters]]{{book ref|mb6|22}} within that society. Additionally, the description of how her mask grew into her skin, as described in ''[[Words of Radiance]]'', matches the description of how Hunters wear their masks in ''[[The Bands of Mourning]]''.
