=== Shardwielding ===
Liss's most crucial resource is her Shardblade.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}} It is currently unknown where she obtained the Blade, but there is no indication that she is a member of the [[Knights Radiant]] as of yet. Due to the masculine and feminine arts set out in [[Arts and Majesty]], Vorin women do not participate in combat, particularly not with a Shardblade.{{book ref|sa2|25}} As such, Liss is able to get close to potential targets, without raising their suspicions that she is a Shardbearer, and dispatch them quickly.{{book ref|sa2|36}} It is unknown if she has any other combat training with a Shardblade or if it is merely used for assassinations. In order to disguise her use of a Blade in her killings, Liss gouges out the eyes of her targets after she kills them, so no one can tell that their eyes are burned out.
=== Skills in Espionage ===
== History ==
=== Early Life ===
Nothing is known about Liss's early life or how long she has been active as an assassin. At some point in her past, Liss obtained a Shardblade, which she makes use of in her assassinations.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}}
She and Highlady [[Jasnah Kholin]] knew one another by the year 1167.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}} Liss was among several prominent assassins operating in the area of [[Kholinar]] that had a standing agreement with Jasnah. She would report any potential employers who expressed interest in assassination contracts involving the members of [[House Kholin]] to Jasnah, who would match the payment in exchange for the name of the individual.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}} It is likely that Jasnah used Liss for several different assassinations to keep her family safe. Liss had at least one servant, a man named [[Talak]], that helped her with her contracts.
