[[Szeth]] was sold by Thresh to Vstim shortly after being named "Truthless." Nearly seven years later, during [[Rysn]]'s first journey to Shinovar, Vstim traded [[Soulcast]] scrap metal to Thresh in exchange for chickens, cloth, and exotic dried meats.{{book ref|wok|i|4}}
 
==Appearance==
As a trader, Thresh is privileged enough in Shin society to wear a colorful cape with his shirt and trousers, unlike warriors and workers who must wear basic brown clothing.{{book ref|wok|i|4}}
 
==History==
His Shin-style full name indicates that Thresh is the son of Esan.{{book ref|wok|i|4}}
 
Thresh regularly trades with people from other countries, and can even speak in [[Thaylenah#Language_and_writing|Thaylen]]. These dealings with foreigners are overseen by one of the farmers, who are high-ranking members of Shin society.{{book ref|wok|i|4}}
 
In exchange for [[Soulcast]] scrap metal, he often trades chickens, cloth, and exotic dried meats to Vstim. [[Rysn]] noticed as she observed one of these dealings that Thresh used humility instead of boasting as a form of haggling, downplaying the importance of his wares and expecting the other side to do the same. Vstim confirmed that this was typical of Shin traders.{{book ref|wok|i|4}}
 
Nearly seven years prior to Rysn's visit to Shinovar, Thresh sold a [[Truthless]] to Vstim. Thresh had to throw the money away as Shin were not allowed to accept money for Truthless, who were shunned by Shin society.{{book ref|wok|i|4}} That Truthless was [[Szeth]], who was later sold to the [[Parshendi]] and became known as the Assassin in White.{{book ref|twok|prologue}}
