[[File:Susebron.png|thumb|right|230px|<center><small>by [[Coppermind:Artists/Fyrebeam|Fyrebeam]]</small></center> Portrait of Susebron]]
 
Susebron was an infant [[Returned]] fifty years before the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]]. At the time of his Return, the [[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.{{annotationwob ref|wb|chapter=447344}}{{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}} He was separated from his mother, though 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.{{annotationwob ref|Warbreaker|chapter=246947}}
 
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, to hide the fact that he was mute.{{book ref|wb|40}} At the time, he had not been taught to [[Awakening|Awaken]] with a thought.
* 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.
* 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.{{annotationwob ref|Warbreaker|chapter=206797}}
* 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}}
