He dislikes being surprised and one-upped by others, and is highly suspicious of strangers.{{msh ref|3|2}} This being said, he seems to enjoy excitement, vastly preferring fighting for his life to quiet study and scholarship. He can still be incredibly patient, and does have the mind to be scholarly, at least for a while, but he dislikes people who speak in riddles and flowery language, preferring that people get to the point.{{file ref|Alethi Glyphs Page 1.jpg|text=Alethi Glyphs}}{{wob ref|13016}}

== History ==

=== Early Worldhopping ===

 

At some point, he met [[Khriss]], and told her as much as he knew about his homeworld, the shades, and Evil.{{au ref|threnodite}} The two began to travel together, following Khriss' interest in other planets; however, it seems that only Nazh actually traversed the other worlds in the [[Physical Realm]], collecting documents and maps for Khriss. She would often leave him on his own, herself staying at places unknown, seemingly without much care for where she dropped him off.{{map ref|Sycla|Sycla/Opelon}}

Nazh and Khriss arrived on [[Scadrial]] to witness [[Preservation]]'s death.{{msh ref|3|2}} Nazh visited the planet's Physical Realm sometime around the [[Collapse]] and the [[Siege of Luthadel]], collecting and annotating a map of the city.{{map ref|Luthadel}} When on Scadrial, he pretended to be a [[skaa]], and retained the clothes even when he left the planet. He managed to return back to Scadrial's [[subastral]] before [[Kelsier]] destroyed the [[Pits of Hathsin]], which cut off the travel between the two Realms.{{msh ref|3|2}}

 

 

 

=== Roshar ===

Nazh was sent to embed himself among the [[Stonewards]], and found ways to look at the nature of [[Intent]] as it relates to [[Stoneshaping]].{{book ref|sa4|part=ars}}{{wob ref|15646}}

Nicelle, however, managed to use her [[leecher]] abilities to disarm the gun, to Nazh's shock. He managed to reactivate it in a few moments, but Nicelle quickly kicked it out of the gondola altogether and went for the map. The two struggled for it, with Nazh yelling at Nicelle in frustration to let go and Nicelle insisting that one, the map was her inheritance, and two, Nazh could've been much more polite about trying to acquire it. Nazh eventually resolved the situation by slicing the map in half and jumping off the gondola. He himself retained the part showing the city, while Nicelle had the half with a hidden pocket.{{ref|name=nab}} It's unknown which was of greater interest to Nazh, and whether he was even aware of the hidden pocket's existence.

 

== Relationships ==

Nazh and [[Nicelle Sauvage]], known better under the pen name Nicki Savage, meet when the former tries to steal a map of [[New Seran]] that Nicelle has inherited. The map contains a hidden pocket with information from Nicelle's father, which is why she pursues Nazh and the two end up fighting over it (though, Nazh seems to be under the impression that this is just a regular, if very good map). Though angry with him for his theft and mystified by his odd weapon, Nicelle seems to find Nazh very attractive; she calls the timbre of his voice very enjoyable, and has apparently memorized his exact appearance.{{ref|name=nab}}

== Trivia ==

* Nazh is not the person writing the [[Ars Arcanum|Ars Arcana]]{{wob ref|7026}} (it is in fact [[Khriss]]), or the tattooist who gave the [[bridgemen]] of [[Bridge Four]] their tattoos.{{17s ref|date=2014-02-26|post|101708|Nazh isn't the tattooist|author=Peter Ahlstrom}}

* Nazh's accent is meant to sound Scottish.{{wob ref|13011}}

* He likes fried [[Wikipedia: eggplant| eggplant]]s since they remind him of a similar vegetable from Threnody.{{wob ref|13011}}
