|All of those stories are just tales told by people who lived lives before ours. What they say about humankind is true. I have watched and seen how people act. It is strange, for me, to interpret these things, for I do not see as normal men do. I am the God King. Everything, to my eyes, has the same beauty.

As a Returned, Susebron looks about twenty, much younger than his fifty years.{{book ref|wb|15}} He is described as having dark hair, black eyes, and pale skin, though it is revealed later that he can learn to change his appearance at will.{{book ref|wb|58}}
He is naive, having grown up in a virtual prison imposed upon him by his priests. He is highly trusting of them, and refuses to believe that they may wish him harm (though it is worth noting that his faith in them turns out to be well-placed).{{book ref|wb|29}} His main source of knowledge about morality is a book of stories that once belonged to his [[Susebron's mother|mother]], the morals of which he follows from memory.{{book ref|wb|24}} Later, he begins to figure some things out for himself, though he continues to hold to the book's rules, making him honest to a fault.{{book ref|wb|29}} Susebron is highly devoted to the people he trusts, including [[Siri]] and the priests, and refuses to abandon either of them. Nonetheless, he can be realistic in his assessment of others and is keenly aware of his own shortcomings as a ruler.{{book ref|wb|36}}{{book ref|wb|58}}
He is very fond of sweets and justifies eating a lot of them by saying that as a Returned, he can't gain any weight.{{book ref|wb|44}}

Throughout most of his life, Susebron was mute and unable to read or write using the common alphabet. He did, however, understand the color-coded Hallendren artisan's script, which provided the only means of
He has been gifted with [[Peacegiver's Treasure]], a sum of approximately fifty thousand Breaths. Additionally, he receives two to three Breaths every week which causes his hoard of Breath to grow steadily over time. This grants him the Tenth [[Heightening]] and all the abilities of the Heightenings beneath it, including:{{book ref|wb|part=ars}}
* Instinctive Awakening - allows him to know commands necessary for what he desires to do without learning them beforehand.
* Invested Breath Recognition - allows him to recognize the auras of objects, and can tell when something has been Invested with Breath via Awakening.
* Command Breaking - allows him to instinctively override Commands in other Invested objects, including Lifeless. This requires concentration and will leave him exhausted.{{book ref|wb|15}}
* Greater Awakening - allows him to Awaken stone and steel objects.
* Audible Command - allows him to Awaken objects that he is not physically touching, but that are within the sound of his voice.{{book ref|wb|15}}
* Color Distortion - Wherever Susebron goes, white objects in his vicinity break up their colors like a prism, creating further colors. To show this off, he's usually dressed in white for public functions, although he wears black in private, as it is a more powerful color from an Awakening standpoint.{{wob ref|6797}}{{book ref|wb|15}}
* Perfect Invocation - when Awakening he drains objects to white instead of grey.
* Mental Command - this ability, which is difficult to learn, allows him to give Commands and Awaken mentally. Susebron would have been able to Awaken through this ability before having his tongue healed, but was never taught how to do so.{{book ref|wb|58}}
* There are rumors of other powers granted by the Tenth Heightening which are not understood or have not been made known by the God Kings, who have been the only ones to achieve it.
The Peacegiver's Treasure makes Susebron effectively immortal, and even if he were to suddenly be cut off from his weekly supply, he could still live for over nine hundred years feeding off it.{{book ref|wb|48}} This amount of Breath might also make him immune to emotional [[Allomancy]].{{wob ref|11830}} In addition, as the God-King, he's capable of using his divine Breath to heal multiple people instead of just one.{{book ref|wb|24}} Whether this is because he was Returned young or some side-effect of holding Peacegiver's Treasure is uncertain.

Though the Emperor is present for Siri's marriage to him (in contrast to Susebron), his early meetings with her go much the same as they do in ''[[Warbreaker]]''.{{bws ref| warbreaker-prime-mythwalker-chapter-sixteen/|Warbreaker Prime: Mythwalker Chapter Sixteen|date=2011-08-15}} However, as the Siri in Mythwalker possesses powers that would allow her to regrow his tongue, the plot requires the two to remain in that initial state of non-communication for far longer than they do now.{{bws ref| warbreaker-prime-mythwalker-chapter-eighteen/|Warbreaker Prime: Mythwalker Chapter Eighteen|date=2011-08-15}}
