{{image|Kabsal.png|side=left|width=250px|}}
Kabsal is in his early twenties and wears simple gray ardent robes. He has a narrow face, shaven head, and a short squared beard. He has keen blue eyes. He is tall, lean, and "rather handsome." He is described as having a cultured tone, and speaks with a faint
He is quick-witted, able to match intellect with [[Shallan Davar]] and crack jokes that appeal to her sense of humor. He is also much more casual than the other ardents Shallan had met, engaging in light-hearted discussions with Shallan as well as theological ones. To Shallan, he appears confident and earnest, although in truth he is a convincing liar. In his undercover identity as an ardent, he is a rather unconventional one, engaging in behavior that ardents should not like swearing and attempting to recruit people to his devotary. Shallan finds these tendencies strange but endearing.

{{quote
|The ardents in her father’s employ had all been crusty men or women in their later years, stern-eyed and impatient with children. She’d never even considered that the devotaries would attract young men like Kabsal. During these last few weeks, she’d found herself thinking of him in ways that would better have been avoided.

Kabsal and [[Shallan]] get along well - they both have a dry and witty sense of humor and enjoy light verbal sparring. Shallan finds Kabsal very attractive, but expresses reservations when he offers to leave the ardentia to be with her.{{book ref|sa4|56}} Although she often remarks upon Kabsal's impropriety when he swears or is overly casual, she doesn't mind. She enjoys his intellect and humor and sees him as a potential source of information about Soulcasting.{{book ref|sa1|41}} He seems to enjoy Shallan's company and tries to save her life when she eats the poisoned bread.
===Jasnah Kholin===
Kabsal uses his relationship with Shallan to get closer to [[Jasnah]], but Jasnah is suspicious of him and is hostile. She tells Shallan that Kabsal is trying to steal her Soulcaster, and Kabsal leads Shallan to believe that he wants to be the one to convert Jasnah to [[Vorinism]].
