TenSoon is a kandra of the Third Generation. He was one of the most experienced kandra due to the length of his field service. He held two Blessings at the time of the Hero of Ages; the Blessing of Potency[1] and the Blessing of Presence. He was a mentor to MeLaan.[2]
His contract was with Lord Straff Venture[3], and was used by Zane Venture to imitate OreSeur, Vin's kandra accomplice. He also took OreSeur's Blessing, the Blessing of Potency, after killing him.[4] He wore the bones of a wolfhound whilst in her 'service', and came to like them. He betrayed the Contract by telling Vin the secrets of the kandra, and by disobeying his master, Zane. He was imprisoned and tried for his crimes, but rebelled and escaped to help Vin fulfil the prophecies of the Hero of Ages. He encountered Sazed before this and imparted some knowledge onto him, who he saw as the Announcer. He then took Sazed to the homeland of the Kandra.
After failing to make it back to Luthadel and despairing, he turned back around and returned to the Kandra Homeland in time to help free Sazed from the treachery of the Second Generation.After this he took the true body of a fifth generation guard and once again played the part of another kandra in order to fool KanPaar.His ruse succeeded until Ruin took direct control of his body and began to choke Sazed to death.This then forced him to carry out the resolution and remove his own blessings, thus turning back into a Mistwraith.[5]
