Odium may be the one referred to as the Broken One. This quote mirrors how the voice in the storm talked to [[Kaladin]] and said "Odium reigns".{{book ref|twok|46}} The "sixteen" surely indicates the sixteen [[Shard]]s, and indeed there are three Shards on Roshar. However, it is peculiar that if three reigned, why is Odium (presumably one of the three) referred to so strangely as the "Broken One" here? It is possible to say that indeed Odium is one of the three mentioned rulers, and as to why he is called the Broken One, it can be said that while Odium ruled along with the other two Shards he was still solid and "whole" in the sense that he was of physical form. But as indicated by Wit he is more of a force than a living being so this Broken One status we can say is him becoming this force.
Another theory by thereal.shadow (I'm swiss, so could somebody correct my spelling and connect to the right links? ty) ; the words "the broken one" remind of the “The Way of Kings: Book I“ In the Prolog, they are fighting agains the Bringers of Void. One of the Leaders says to the second last one, that they leave their shards and leave the fight. They left the last one, knowing the endless fight alone would drive him crazy (brake him). So maybe this means Odium fought in the War agains the Voidbringer?
