=== Childhood and Early Life ===
Susebron was an infant [[Returned]] fifty years before the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]]. He was born to a poor family living far to the north in Hallandren, to a merchant and his wife.{{wob ref|7344}} At the time of his Return, the current [[God King]] was unable to produce a child, and so the infant Susebron was given [[Peacegiver's Treasure]] and made the new God King after his predecessor gave up his Divine Breath to cure a plague.{{wob ref|7344}}{{book ref|wb|27}} At some point either before or after his crowning, his tongue was removed so that he would be unable to use the wealth of Breaths that had been bestowed on him.{{book ref|wb|40}} [[Susebron's mother|His mother]] raised him in the palace, though eventually she was "taken away".{{book ref|wb|24}}{{book ref|wb|44}} Through the years he managed to retain a storybook she used to read him; 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.{{wob ref|6947}}
Throughout most of his life, Susebron resided mostly alone in the black palace of the God Kings in [[T'Telir]]. Despite being the official ruler of Hallandren, he was kept away from its people and other Returned, only coming out briefly on special occasions in order to hide the fact that he was mute.{{book ref|wb|40}} At the time, he had not been taught to [[Awakening|Awaken]] by thought.

To forestall a war between [[Idris]] and Hallandren, Susebron was promised the hand of king [[Dedelin]]'s daughter, [[Vivenna]]. At the last moment, however, she was swapped for her sister, [[Sisirinah]], and Susebron ended up marrying Siri.{{book ref|wb|4}} For a long time, Susebron and Siri met only at night, as the priests wanted them to make a child, but neither acted, as Siri was awaiting Susebron's first move while Susebron had no idea what was expected of him.{{book ref|wb|24}} Initially, he did not understand Siri, uncertain as to why she spent her nights waiting, naked, on his floor. After a nearly a week of this routine, Siri approached him and berated him for doing nothing but watch throughout all the previous week. When Susebron approaches, it is revealed that he has no tongue. Siri, to convince his priests that they were trying for a baby, began moaning and bouncing on the bed every day, mimicking what she thought sex sounded like. After she began to perform her moaning and screaming routine for the priests, he approached her with a book, hoping to start some communication.{{book ref|wb|20}}
