As a younger man, Szeth was a highly-regarded member of the [[Shin]] society.{{wob ref|4040}} At the time, he trained with the [[Honorblade]]s, familarizing himself with all ten of the [[Surge]]s. Among others, the training included ice-skating excercises to mimic [[Abrasion]].{{book ref|sa3|98}}{{book ref|sa3|120}} At some point, however, he began hearing a voice in his head, possibly that of a [[spren]].{{book ref|sa3|92}} PossiblyPerhaps as a result of this, he began saying that the [[Voidbringers]] were returning to Roshar.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} The Shin leaders, however, told him that his claims were false and, at the age of 27, named him Truthless.{{book ref|sa2|i|10}} PossiblyLikely due to his prior high status, he was given [[Jezrien]]'s Honorblade before being sent away -- something that wasn't done for other Truthless.{{wob ref|5089}}
 
After being made a slave and given an [[Oathstone]], Szeth was traded to the Thaylen merchant [[Vstim]].{{book ref|sa1|i|4}} From then on out, whoever owned his Oathstone owned Szeth, and Szeth was obliged by his honor to do as the owner commanded, with the exception of killing himself or giving up the Honorblade.{{book ref|sa1|i|3}} Just after being exiled from [[Shinovar]], Szeth visited [[Urithiru]] for the first time.{{book ref|sa2|i|10}}
