Following Gavilar's death, the Parshendi threw away Szeth's Oathstone as they fled Kholinar. As the Alethi believed that Szeth had fled with the Parshendi they did not attempt to track him down and instead began the Vengeance Pact, waging war on the Parshendi. Meanwhile Szeth was eventually picked up by [[Avado]]. The travelling merchant took him to Jah Keved in fear of possible Alethi retributions against strange foreigners in the wake of their king's death. Over the course of more than 5 years, the Oathstone changed possession many times before landing in the hands of [[Took]], a transient worker. Took was robbed and killed after a night of drinking in Ironsway, a town in the Bavland, and Szeth's Oathstone went to [[Makkek]].{{book ref|twok|i|3}} With Szeth under his control, Makkek set out to gain wealth, first by killing his fellow robbers, and then establishing a gambling den in [[Bornwater]].{{book ref|twok|i|6}}
On one of Makkek's missions, this time to eliminate a rival who had opened his own gambling place, Szeth infiltrated the local lord's mansion where his target [[Gavashaw]] resided. There he met a mysterious stranger who knew of Szeth and his role in Gavilar's death, revealing in detail of Szeth's powers, and also of a new master they both now served, revealing his Oathstone taken from Makkek. Gavashaw and Makkek had both been killed.
===Taravangian's Assassin===
The stranger gave Szeth a list of high ranking targets, all of whom were to be eliminated with the same skill displayed over five years ago in Kholinar. Szeth set out to do his work. His second last goal was King [[Hanavanar]] of Jah Keved whom he killed along with his two Shardbearer guards.{{book ref|twok|i|9}}

Szeth was a [[Surgebinder]] who had [[Windrunner]] powers. He is not bound to an honorspren like the other known Windrunner, [[Kaladin]] {{qa ref|949|12|Is Szeth bound to a spren?|date=2013-02-16}}. Szeth seemed to possess a relatively informed knowledge of the Windrunner order of the [[Knights Radiant]], knowing the name of the order as well as their name for the powers they possessed: the three [[Lashing]]s.
