He resided, mostly alone, in the black palace that was given to the God Kings. Despite being the official ruler of Hallandren, he was kept away from its people and other Returned, only coming out briefly on special occasions. This was to hide that his tongue had been cut out by his priests when he first Returned, so he could not use his [[Peacegiver's Treasure|great wealth]] of Breaths with [[Command]]s{{book ref|wb|40}} (as he had not been taught to [[Awakening|Awaken]] with a thought). He has over fifty thousand Breaths; his inheritance from the first God King and those who followed.
During the events of Warbreaker, Susebron marries [[Siri]] in order to preserve the peace between Hallandren and [[Idris]]. At first he fears Siri, uncertain why she spends her nights waiting, naked, on his floor. When the two finally begin communicating (him writing on a board, her speaking), his innocence is revealed. Siri teaches Susebron to read using the story book of his mother{{book ref|wb|20}} that he had 'hidden' from his priests.{{annotation ref|Warbreaker|chapter=24}} He had heard the stories so many times and looked at it over the years that he had memorized each symbol, and the morals of the stories in the book were in part the code by which he lived. This meant he was honest and did not eat too many sweets. He and Siri eventually fall in love and she begins to plan how to reveal to the other gods that he has no tongue. She also teaches him other things, ideas such as sarcasm and mockery, and about other places such as Idris, and her own life. Susebron expresses an interest in meeting [[Austre]].{{
The [[Pahn Kahl]] [[Pahn Kahl rebellion|attack]] of the [[Court of the Gods]] sees him imprisoned in his own palace. His tongue was restored when [[Lightsong]] gives up his divine [[BioChromatic Breath|Breath]] to heal him.{{book ref|wb|57}} As Susebron has so many Breaths, he was able to Awaken instinctively now that he could speak. He frees his palace from the Pahn Kahl invaders and saves Siri.{{book ref|wb|58}}
