'''Kabsal''' is a member of the [[Ghostbloods]] operating undercover as an [[ardent]] from the Devotary of Insight on [[Roshar]]. He stays in the [[Palanaeum]] in [[Kharbranth]] on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa1|74}}
 
== Appearance and Personality ==
{{image|Kabsal.png|side=left|width=250px|}}
Kabsal is in his early to mid-twenties and wears simple gray ardent robes.{{book ref|sa1|7}}{{book ref|sa1|33}} 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 [[Herdaz]]ian accent.{{book ref|sa1|7}}
 
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.
