Appearance and Personality
Usually dressed in a simple trousers and shirt, Shallan mistakes her for a male the first time seeing her.[7] She wears a red-orange carapace mask, which is growing into her skin, and has dark eyes.[8] This mask is not Invested.[9]

Abilities and Attributes
Not much is known about Iyatil's abilities. She is confident that she can escape from an Alethi facility without assistance.[3] After she attempts to assasssinate Amaram, she is described as moving "too quickly" to be chased.[10] She has also been confirmed to be a worldhopper, supervising Mraize.[11]
History
Birthplace and Heritage (Date Unknown)
Though Iyatil now lives on Roshar, it is not her home planet; she is of Southern Scadrian heritage[5], and she personally is from Silverlight.[4] Iyatil was not born on Scadrial.[12]
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.[7] She later accompanies Shallan on a mission for the Ghostbloods, investigating the recent arrival of Talenel to the Alethi warcamps.[2] 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.
Relationships
Iyatil is a member of the Ghostbloods and appears to have a particularly close relationship with Mraize.[2] She was at one time a part of the Seventeenth Shard.[1]
