=== Appearence ===
==== Human ====
Tall and long-limbed, Sazed has the build of a scholar.{{book ref|mb2|4}} His arms and legs are a bit too long for his body because of a medical condition caused by his being castrated as a boy.{{book ref|mb2|12}} He has a shaven head,{{book ref|mb1|22}} his earlobes have been stretched out, and the ears themselves contain studs that run around their perimeter. He wears the lavish, colorful robes of a Terris steward—the garments are made of embroidered, overlapping V shapes, alternating among the three colors of his master’s house. He is soft spoken, with a higher pitch and an almost melodic accent.{{book ref|mb1|8}}
 
==== Vessel ====
His description varies as a Vessel. At times he is described as wearing a Terris garb, with a cloak of timelessness trailing behind him, made of storms and winds, clouds and rain, deserts and forests. His robe was the Terris V pattern, where each V reflected an entire age, akin to a strata of time.{{book ref|mb6|28}} Other times, he is described as being at the centre of two wings, one white and one black, mixing together in the middle with their edges reaching out to infinity.{{book ref|mb7|19}}
 
Around {{date|348|FA}}, he is described by being trailed by a shadowy reflection of himself.{{book ref|mb7|26}}{{book ref|mb7|71}}
 
=== Personality ===
When feeling confident, Sazed is a person who—without raising his voice, without seeming to make demands—can control a group and get the information he desires. He always claims that he's no leader, but he's actually a fantastic one when he puts his mind to it. His calm sense of purpose puts people at ease and makes them do as he requests.{{wob ref|8022}}
 
He was found by Elend and Demoux. Sazed, a full believer and confident now in Vin as the Hero of Ages offered faith to continue fighting. He also showed them the atium the kandra had cared for, and they burned it for their last fight.{{book ref|mb3|81}}

Vin defeated [[Ati]]; both died and Sazed was the one to find her lifeless body. After a moment of despair, he understood, he was the Hero of Ages. “The Hero would be rejected of his people, Sazed thought. Yet, he would save them. Not a warrior, though he would fight. Not born a king, but would become one anyway.” He took the power of both Ruin and Preservation. He used all his knowledge of religion and other information to re-craft the world, mostly how it used to be, but with some changes. He became a God; [[Harmony]].{{book ref|mb3|82}}

Sazed served [[Kelsier]] but did itso willingly. He got to know Kelsier well and they had several religious and philosophical conversations.{{book ref|mb1|10}} They tend to talk often of different religions, which Kelsier sometimes used to keep his spirits up.{{book ref|mb1|29}}
 
Even after Kelsier’s death, Sazed believedcontinued to believe in him and decided to record his stories. It is implied he knew of his plan to die to become an inspiration to finish with the Lord Ruler.{{book ref|mb1|35}}
 
From the cognitive realm, Kelsier followed the events and was there with Sazed when he took the power. They were united thereafter.{{msh ref|6|8}}
 
=== Vin ===
Sazed was appointed to coach [[Vin]] to play the part of Valette Renoux, a noblewoman. He saw that her hair, makeup, and dressingclothing were appropriate, accompanied her to the balls and guided her as much as possible. During thatthis time, he also offered information on religions to see if Vin would find one interesting.{{book ref|mb1|9}} He recovered and cared for her after she was severely wounded in Kredik Shaw,{{book ref|mb1|13}} and did so again after she was badly wounded while saving Elend from assassins.{{book ref|mb2|40}}

He refers to Hoid as his friend.{{epigraph ref|sa3|53}}
 
=== Wax ===
He has a fragile relationship with Wax, with Wax being a former worshipper of him,{{book ref|mb4|3}} that came to despise him and renounce his faith, and lose respect for Harmony, due to Harmony's own actions and manipulations. He also came to hate Harmony for his inaction, and the suffering his inaction has brought about on Scadrial.{{book ref|mb6|4}}{{book ref|mb6|28}} Even after his hatred for him waned, his desire to have nothing to do with him grew stronger.{{book ref|mb7|19}}

But the fear in what destruction and domination they would bring to Scadrial, he was led to requesting his help again.{{book ref|mb7|19}} He also respected his wishes to never again speak into his mind, using Marsh as a medium of communication.{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|7}}
 
He no longer will use Wax as his sword, promising that stopping the bombing of Elendel and arrival of Autonomy was his final request.{{book ref|mb7|19}}
 
=== Marsh ===
