'''Larskpur''' was a [[Pathism|Pathian]] missionary from [[Elendel]] on [[Scadrial]].{{book ref|mb4|12}} He was killed by [[Paalm]] so that she could impersonate him and implicate him in the killing of [[Father Bin]], a [[Survivorism|Survivorist]] priest.{{book ref|mb4|15}}
==Appearance and Personality==
Larskpur is described as a small man who "barely fit his robes".{{book ref|mb4|12}} He wears a simple smock in the Pathian style.{{book ref|mb4|12}}
==History==
Larskpur tended to show up at community functions to represent Pathism, even though the majority of the people at the events were usually [[Church of the Survivor|Survivorists]].{{book ref|mb4|12}}
He showed up at a chapel in Elendel that had around a thousand attendees, and walked up to the dais to give a shocking speech blaspheming the [[Survivor]] and his actions.{{book ref|mb4|12}} The attendees eventually realized that his hands were covered in blood, and he dropped a curtain to reveal the corpse of Father Bin nailed to the wall with spikes through the eyes.{{book ref|mb4|12}} Larskpur slipped away while the crowd was horrified.{{book ref|mb4|15}}
As [[Wax]] and [[Marasi]] investigated the murder, they theorized that the [[kandra]] known as "Bleeder" was trying to drive a wedge between the Pathians and Survivorists.{{book ref|mb4|12}} Wax later confirmed that Bleeder had posed as Larskpur and committed the murder.{{book ref|mb4|15}} After escaping the chapel, Bleeder rode in a coach driven by [[Chapaou]] and transformed out of her guise as Larskpur, leaving a pile of bones on the seat.{{book ref|mb4|15}} She had presumably killed Larskpur at some point before her appearance in the chapel in order to use his bones to impersonate him.
==Trivia==
* Brandon once interacted with fan and author V. M. Jaskiernia on Reddit after reading a portion of her unpublished novel titled ''Larkspur, or A Necromancer's Romance''.{{reddit ref|fantasy|2alo3g|text=Thank you, Brandon Sanderson|date=2014-07-14}} She received positive feedback from Brandon and later published the book, at one point accidentally spelling the title "Larskpur" in a Reddit thread.{{reddit ref|happy|21uer2|text=I published my book!|date=2014-03-31}} This interaction occurred before the publication of ''[[Shadows of Self]]'', and it is possible that the character name Larskpur was intended as a cameo.
