== History ==

=== Previous Desolations ===

Lezian was the first Fused to have ever been killed by a human. To avoid the shame that came from this, he went into battle seeking only the human that had killed him, ignoring all orders and rationality, and succeeded in killing him. This started his tradition - every time someone managed to kill him, Lezian would single-mindedly chase them and claim their life.{{wob ref|14215}} He never failed at this, always successfully managing to find and kill the humans who had bested him before every Isolation. Once an Isolation began, he would kill himself to avoid having to return to Braize without killing his killer in turn.{{book ref|sa4|14}} When not actively pursuing a previous killer, Lezian would seek to go after the strongest enemy Radiants, effectively creating a cycle of either chasing after and killing the strongest enemies, or getting killed by them, and then pursuing them until they die, then picking some other strong Radiant, and so on and forth.{{book ref|sa4|14}} Lezian was good enough at this that no human or singer had ever managed to best him and kill him twice.{{book ref|sa4|59}}

 

==== The Evacuation of Hearthstone ====

Lezian first appears at [[Hearthstone]] in 1175, just before the [[Knights Radiant]] and the forces of the Coalition land the [[Fourth Bridge]] there in an effort to evacuate the village.{{book ref|sa4|1}} [[Kaladin]] and the [[Fourth Bridge]] had been spotted while flying to Hearthstone, and Lezian, alongside a group of [[Fused#Shanay-im|Shanay-im]] under the command of [[Leshwi]], were sent by the [[Nine]] to gather intel on the Fourth Bridge, and test a new suppressor [[fabrial]] that would prevent [[Knights Radiant|Radiants]] from using their powers. {{book ref|sa4|14}}

 

Lezian leads a small squad of [[Singer#Warform|warforms]], and is able to successfully find and identify Kaladin from his description, who takes to the skies.{{book ref|sa4|1}} Lezian engages him immediately, and his novel powerset and his brutal and expert fighting style give Kaladin a hard time. When Kaladin eventually starts predicting and reacting to Lezian's jumps, Lezian leaves him, warning Kaladin to watch for him from the corner of his eye.{{book ref|sa4|2}} He shows up again later, when Kaladin and his windrunners are engaged with Leshwi and the rest of the Shanay-im, but Kaladin sees him coming, and Lezian retreats without engaging.{{book ref|sa4|5}} He then gathers a squad of [[Singer#Warform|warform]] [[singers]], and starts accosting a group of civilians, as well as [[Godeke|Godeke the Edgedancer]], to lure Kaladin to him.{{book ref|sa4|6}}{{book ref|sa4|7}} When Kaladin lands and challenges him, Lezian takes Godeke, and retreats into the manor with the remaining squad of parshmen, saying he will fight him inside. Once Kaladin follows, they trigger the suppressor [[fabrial]] powered by [[voidlight]] to stop Kaladin from summoning Syl or using his powers. Lezian assumes that Kaladin would not be used to fighting without his powers and mocks him, but Kaladin quickly overpowers four of the warform Singers, and then proceeds to kill Lezian by successfully predicting where he would teleport to.{{book ref|sa4|7}}

====Occupation of the Tower====

Lezian loans his troops to [[Raboniel]] for the invasion.{{book ref|sa4|31}}

 

During the invasion, he approaches Raboniel, and gets permission to continue his hunt for [[Kaladin]] from her, as he is confident that if Kaladin was not already at the tower, then he would return to try and liberate it. He also advises [[Raboniel]] that the captured Radiants were dangerous, and should be beheaded.{{book ref|sa4|41}} Lezian is later instrumental in breaking apart Battalionlord [[Teofil]]'s final stand, as he is able to teleport across their entire line faster than they can reorient and readjust themselves.{{book ref|sa4|42}}
