'''Sigzil''', also known as '''Nomad''' or '''Zellion''',{{book ref|tsm|39}} is an [[Azish]] member of [[Bridge Four]] on [[Roshar]], a companylord of the [[Knights Radiant|Radiant]] [[Order of Windrunners]], and later
== Appearance and Personality ==
=== Personality ===
Sigzil tends to be quiet and close-mouthed,{{book ref|sa1|40}} though when he embraces his role as a [[Worldsinger]], he displays deep knowledge of a variety of cultures and speaks openly and volubly.{{book ref|sa1|55}} He seems to enjoy deep conversations, especially when conducted one-on-one, and has a formal way of speaking.{{book ref|sa1|40}} He also has a judgmental streak, particularly around disorderly people or when faced with other cultures' less organized and bureaucratic methods. He is not very accepting of homosexuality, shaped by Azish views on the subject. Though he doesn't necessarily mistreat [[Drehy]] despite his views.{{book ref|sa3|35}}{{wob ref|1444}} Taking [[Hoid]]'s teachings to heart, however, he does attempt to be more open-minded.{{book ref|sa3|35}}
Despite being incredibly organized and studious, Sigzil thinks less of himself for failing the governmental service exams in Azir. Likely as a result of growing up in a country where everything is well-organized, he prefers a clear relationship between himself and whomever he works for. He also expresses the need to figure out exactly what Bridge Four's chain of command is in regards to Alethi affairs after the beginning of the [[True Desolation]].{{book ref|sa3|35}}
Sigzil has been trained with the spear and spearman tactics by Kaladin, and he uses the weapon "acceptably."{{book ref|sa2|12}} He can read and write the Azish script, though out of deference to Alethi ideals he sticks with using glyphs to record written reports as Bridge Four's clerk.{{book ref|sa3|35}} His understanding of other cultures, ability to work easily with numbers, and his level-headedness are all assets to the [[Order of Windrunners]].{{book ref|sa4|6}}
He has bonded an [[honorspren]]{{book ref|sa4|19}} and has sworn at least the [[Order of Windrunners#The Third Ideal|Third Ideal]] of the Order of Windrunners,{{book ref|sa3.5|Epilogue}} which allows him to draw in [[Stormlight]] and use the [[Surge]]s of [[Surgebinding#Gravitation|Gravitation]] and [[Surgebinding#Adhesion|Adhesion]].{{book ref|sa3|35}}{{book ref|sa3|55}} Eventually,
=== Skipping ===
At an unknown point, Hoid offered Sigzil a Dawnshard for the sake of protecting the cosmere, which he accepted.{{book ref|tsm|10}} This put him on the radar of the Night Brigade, who began to hunt him down across the cosmere.{{book ref|tsm|10}}
Eventually, he gave the Dawnshard to somebody else, hoping that it would get the Night Brigade off his trail, but they continued to hunt him regardless.
At some point, he came to an unnamed cavern planet on his run from the Night Brigade. During his stay, he stole a set of ragged clothes before Skipping away.{{book ref|tsm|9}}
* Zellion share their name with the protagonist of ''[[The Sixth Incarnation of Pandora]]'', Brandon's unpublished fifth novel. In that book, Zellion is a soldier made immortal through advanced technology which is also slowly driving him insane.{{wob ref|14437}} Brandon has confirmed the origin of the name and stated that Zellion will "kind of" be related to the previous version of the character, but reimagined for the cosmere.{{wob ref|16104}}
* Brandon also used the name Zellion for his character in a playthrough of the video game ''[[wikipedia:Elden Ring|Elden Ring]]''.{{url ref|url=https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10158548571410009|site=Facebook.com|text=Elden Ring Walkthrough (comments)}}
