The '''Unmade''' are a group of nine{{book ref|sa3|1}} ancient spren{{book ref|sa3|62}} comprised of [[Splinter]]s of [[Odium]].{{reddit ref|books|2ytg2h|cpcr9f0|text=AMA, Splinters of Odium|date=2015-03-12}} They are minions of Odium, doing his bidding.{{book ref|sa3|1}} While they are traditionally depicted as personifications of destruction or forces, they are also shown as individuals.{{epigraph ref|sa1|45}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|91}} Each Unmade is endowed with vast and terrible powers,{{epigraph ref|sa3|89}} although the intelligence of an individual Unmade varies from wise and crafty to mindless forces.

=== Ba-Ado-Mishram ===
{{quote
| I find Ba-Ado-Mishram to be the most interesting of the Unmade. She is said to have been keen of mind, a highprincess among the enemy forces, their commander during some of the Desolations. I do not know how this relates to the ancient god of the enemy, named Odium.

'''[[Ba-Ado-Mishram]]''' is one of the most intelligent Unmade. She has not been seen recently in the Era of Solitude, but was likely responsible for the [[False Desolation]]. She has the ability to grant [[Voidlight]] to the singers and often served as one of Odium's generals during the [[Desolation]]s.
=== Dai-Gonarthis ===

| Let me no longer hurt! Let me no longer weep! Daigonarthis! The Black Fisher holds my sorrow and consumes it!

'''[[Dai-gonarthis]]''' is also known as the '''Black Fisher'''.{{epigraph ref|sa1|67}} He has not been recorded as active on Roshar recently, but may have somehow been involved in the [[scouring of Aimia]].{{epigraph ref|sa3|113}} There is still some uncertainty in the mythology if Dai-Gonarthis is truly one of the Unmade, but some scholars are convinced.{{book ref|sa3|119}}
=== Moelach ===
{{quote
| Moelach is close. I can hear his wheezing, his scratching, his scraping at time like a rat breaking through walls.
| [[Jezrien]] on Moelach{{book ref|sa3|88}}
}}
'''[[Moelach]]''' is an Unmade closely associated with precognition and visions of the future. His presence is what allows for the [[Death Rattle]]s that King [[Taravangian]] has used to correct the [[Diagram]]. Moelach's appearance is unknown, but has recently settled in the [[Horneater Peaks]] for reasons unknown.
=== Nergaoul ===
{{quote
| Nergaoul was known for driving forces into a battle rage, lending them great ferocity. Curiously, he did this to both sides of a conflict, Voidbringer and human. This seems common of the less self-aware spren.
| From Hessi's ''Mythica'', page 121{{epigraph ref|sa3|99}}
}}
'''[[Nergaoul]]''' is a mindless Unmade that is closely associated with battle rage.{{epigraph ref|sa3|99}} Nergaoul is not very intelligent, taking an animalistic joy in death and killing.{{book ref|sa3|120}} He takes the form of an enormous red mist roiling with the forms of men fighting and dying.{{book ref|sa3|115}} Nergaoul causes the effect known as the [[Thrill]], which drives men to fight far beyond when they should have given up and makes them enjoy the killing.{{book ref|sa3|100}}
=== Sja-anat ===
{{quote
| Of the Unmade, Sja-anat was most feared by the Radiants. They spoke extensively of her ability to corrupt spren, though only "lesser" spren - whatever that means.
| From Hessi's ''Mythica'', page 89{{epigraph ref|sa3|97}}
}}
'''[[Sja-anat]]''' is known as the '''Taker of Secrets'''.{{book ref|sa3|77}} She takes the form of a jet black shadow with white holes for eyes that often appears in mirrors.{{book ref|sa3|84}} Her primary ability is to corrupt spren,{{book ref|sa3|77}} which she refers to as Enlightening.{{book ref|sa3|97}} She is capable of corrupting both lesser spren{{book ref|sa3|97}} and true spren,{{book ref|sa3|116}} as well as larger spren, such as the spren of an [[Oathgate]].{{book ref|sa3|84}} These corrupted spren often act as her servants and messengers.{{book ref|sa3|97}} Sja-anat has indicated that she is interested in defecting from Odium's forces, but the veracity of her claims is still uncertain.
=== Yelig-nar ===
{{quote
| Yelig-nar, called Blightwind, was one that could speak like a man, though often his voice was accompanied by the wails of those he consumed.
