'''Lifeless''' are a type of magical entity originating on the [[shardworld]] [[Nalthis]], created by [[Awakening]]. They are classified as Type Two Biochromatic Entities: Mindless Manifestations in a Deceased Host.{{book ref|wb|46}}
 
When an Awakener infuses a skeleton or a corpse (preferablytypically human) with a [[Breath]], it becomes animate without becoming fully alive. This creature is then able to follow specific Commands much like any other Awakened creation.
 
However, Lifeless differ from other Awakened objects in several ways. Firstly, the Breath used to animate them cannot be reclaimed by the Awakener.{{book ref|wb|21}} Secondly, they are much more flexible and intelligent in obeying orders; this is ascribed to the fact that they have a brain and are therefore less reliant on the cognitive impulse from the Awakener to determine their actions. Thirdly, they can be given further Commands, or have their previous Commands rescinded, without an infusion of more Breath.
