== Appearance and Personality == {{image\|Odium by Ralf Melevo.jpg\|side=right\|width=~~300px~~250px}} === Appearance === {{for\|/Gallery\|more images}} His personality was such to lead him to pick up the Shard of Odium, indicating that his personality was aligned with hatred and strong emotions. He wished to become the type of person he came to be after holding the Shard.{{wob ref\|5489}}{{epigraph ref\|sa2\|71}} {{image\|Odium - XV the Devil.jpg\|side=left\|width=~~300px~~250px}} ==== Vessel ==== While careful and subtle, Rayse is also an arrogant man. He can be lonely with nobody to share his accomplishments and likes to show off and enjoys being worshipped.{{book ref\|sa4\|i\|6}}{{book ref\|sa4\|99}} This can be seen when he pulls people into a vision, presenting himself as a powerful, dominating figure while this is not really necessary. Furthermore, he hates being questioned, leading to a struggle between his mind and the Shard he holds, for Odium craves questions and arguments.{{book ref\|sa4\|i\|2}} In addition, he strongly believes that Odium is the Shard of Passion, not hatred.{{book ref\|sa4\|31}}{{cite}} He sees passion and emotions as a very important aspect of the lives of men, seeing them as what defines a person.{{book ref\|sa3\|57}} He sees beauty in passion, and greatly respects those that led their passions consume them unrestrained. He even encourages this, inspiring them to give in to all of their strongest emotions. He also respects straightforwardness in one's emotions.{{book ref\|sa3\|57}}{{book ref\|sa3\|115}}{{book ref\|sa4\|i\|6}} His respect for such things is enough that he would willingly barter with people he considers passionate enough, despite his megalomania.{{book ref\|sa3\|122}} He even respects the Knights Radiant for their honesty and willingness to do what they thought was best, despite their resistance against him.{{book ref\|sa3\|57}} This respect for honesty is a common thread in his interactions with others, as he also respects [[Taravangian]]'s honesty.{{book ref\|sa3\|57}} He is willing to grant people liberty from an oppressive master if it means that they would come to serve him, such as when he granted mind and freedom to slaveform singers, so that they could assist him and his Fused in their fight to claim Roshar and free him from the Rosharan system.{{cite}} He, however, is not a kind master to these peoples, using them as vessels to be possessed by his Fused.{{book ref\|sa3\|i\|6}} He also strictly punishes disobedience in any form, and as mentioned previously, is angered by his orders or actions being questioned by those he deems inferior.{{book ref\|sa4\|i\|2}} Following from his beliefs regarding passion and emotions, he believes a world without such things as not being worth living in.{{book ref\|sa3\|57}} He also believes himself the only Vessel to truly understand pain and emotion, and the only one to truly care about mankind.{{book ref\|sa3\|109}} ~~Though~~He wants to take away the pain of sapient beings, to take away their guilt for their actions. To allow them to fully indulge in their emotions and passions without having to feel the weight of pain or guilt.{{book ref\|sa3\|118}}{{book ref\|sa3\|119}} Offers to take away the pain are one of his primary methods of getting people to turn to him, as he preys on their pain, guilt, and insecurities.{{cite}} However, despite his claims to love mankind, he considers the lives of humans and singers of inherently lesser value than his own, and looks down upon them.{{book ref\|sa4\|112}} While willing to compliment people for their accomplishments, such as complimenting [[Taravangian]] for the creation of the [[Diagram (literature) \| Diagram]], he often tries to immediately upstage said accomplishments; this is likely motivated by his own megalomania and belief in the inferiority of mortals.{{book ref\|sa3\|122}}{{book ref\|sa4\|112}}
