==History==
[[Balat Davar]] thinks that he was a contact between the people who came for the [[Soulcaster]] and their father.
Luesh joins the Davar household circa {{Rosharan date|1172|missing-date=y}}, and he quickly becomes a confidant of [[Lin Davar]].{{book ref|sa2|61}} Although he denies it, Luesh is presumably the person who gave Lin an illicit [[Soulcaster]] [[fabrial]].{{book ref|sa1|29}} Luesh is trained to use the Soulcaster, and he and Lin work with a surveyor to create artificial marble deposits on Davar land,{{book ref|sa1|7}} significantly improving the family's previously dire financial situation.{{book ref|sa2|39}} Lin is able to leverage the restored name of House Davar to gain political influence in the [[Valam princedom]],{{book ref|sa2|61}} likely positioning himself to become [[highprince]].{{book ref|sa1|29}}
 
After Lin's death, the Davar children find the Soulcaster, which is now broken.{{book ref|sa1|5}} The family tries to have the fabrial repaired, but Luesh cannot make it function.{{book ref|sa1|7}} Desperate for money, [[Shallan]] soon devises a plan to steal [[Jasnah's Soulcaster|Jasnah Kholin's Soulcaster]].{{book ref|sa1|29}} After she sets out on her journey, [[Balat]] and [[Eylita]] inform her that Luesh died in his sleep, and that a pendant with a distinctive symbol was found on his body.{{book ref|sa1|29}} Furthermore, a group of individuals visited the Davar estate—one of whom had a tattoo of the same symbol on his hand—professing knowledge of the Soulcaster and demanding that it be returned, intensifying the need for Shallan to steal Jasnah's fabrial.{{book ref|sa1|29}} Balat concludes that Luesh was a plant all along, and that he acted as a liaison between Lin and his mysterious backers.{{book ref|sa1|29}}
Luesh died in his sleep before [[Shallan]] managed to steal [[Jasnah]]'s Soulcaster. Balat did not think there was any reason to suspect the he had been murdered.{{book ref|sa1|29}}
