=== Vasher's Companion ===
'''Countering the Rebellion'''
After the end of the Manywar, Vasher wandered Nalthis carrying Nightblood, attempting to attone for his percieved sins.{{cite}} He avoided using Nighblood when possible, but would periodically draw him at the cost of his store of Breaths. He used Nightblood to kill someone several months before the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]].{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=49}} In order to restore his supply of breaths, Vasher started a brawl in a bar and allowed himself and Nightblood to be captured and taken to the God King's dungeons.{{book ref|wb|prologue}} One of the guards drew Nightblood slightly and killed all of the other guards, as well as himself. This gave Vasher the opening to escape from his prison and convince [[Vahr]], a captured Pahn Kahl rebel, to give him his Breath. Vasher recovered Nightblood as he escaped the prison.
Vasher and Nightblood continued to try to counteract Denth's attempts to trigger a second Manywar. Vasher killed several of Denth's hirelings in the [[D'Denir Garden]] with Nightblood.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=29}} When Denth, and Vivenna examined the corpses, Vasher and Nightblood watched them. Nightblood recognized Denth and wanted to go say hello to him, but Vasher explained yet again that they could not go see Denth.{{book ref|wb|29}} Soon afterwards, Vasher decided to kidnap Vivenna to further disrupt Denth's plans.{{book ref|wb|33}} He brought Nightblood to Denth's house and broke in through Vivenna's balcony, knocking her out with Awakened drapes. When Vivenna came to in Vasher's house, he unclasped Nightblood's sheath and forced her to draw it.{{book ref|wb|35}} Vivenna fought through the powerful nausea she felt and managed to draw the sword and hear Nightblood's voice before vomiting. Afterwards Vasher tied Vivenna up and left with Nightblood on some errand to counteract Denth. Vivenna escaped from her bonds using Awakening.
'''Rescuing Vivenna'''
After Vivenna returned to Denth's safehouse, she discovered that Denth had been attempting to trigger the war rather than prevent it and fled to the streets.{{cite}} Weeks later, Vasher and Nightblood managed to find her just as a group of thugs was capturing her for the bounty Denth had placed on her head.{{book ref|wb|41}} Vasher threw Nightblood among the thugs, and they killed themselves with him. Vasher recovered Nightblood and carried an unconscious Vivenna to his safe house in order to keep her out of Denth's hands.
Vasher left Nightblood locked in a closet when he and Vivenna went to the Court of Gods to watch them debate going to war against Idris.{{book ref|wb|50}} After Lightsong refused to vote on the war, Vasher returned to the Court of the Gods with Nightblood that evening. He stood on the wall considering whether he should kill Lightsong. Nightblood argued that Vasher should kill Lightsong so that he could not vote in favor of the war, but Vasher disagreed, uncertain if that was the right move. Vasher eventually determined that he should break into the God King's palace and rescue Siri. After entering the palace, and questioning a maid on Siri's location, Vasher attempted to enter her rooms by throwing Nightblood at the guards outside. However, Denth had anticipated Vasher's rescue attempt and he and dozens of his men managed to capture the now-unarmed Vasher. Denth wrapped Nightblood in cloth and gave it to Tonk Fah, ordering him to throw it somewhere far away. Howevever, Tonk Fah nearly fell to Nightblood's influence instantly and Denth took the sword back immediately. He brought it to the bay outside of Hallandren and threw it into the ocean.
'''Rescuing Vasher'''
From the bottom of the bay, Nightblood managed to communicate with Old Chapps, a slightly deranged fisherman and criminal.{{book ref|wb|53}} Nightblood spoke in his mind, guiding the man's fishing net to his location. Chapps pulled Nightblood up in the net and admired him. Afterwards, he had Chapps bring him back to shore and clean him.{{book ref|wb|54}} Soon afterwards in the slums, Chapps used Nightblood to kill three other men as well as himself. Vivenna, who was looking for Vasher, heard word of the commotion and found Nightblood there, who recognized. Nightblood told Vivenna that Vasher had been captured in the Court of the Gods. Vivenna brought Nightblood with her to the Court of Gods to rescue Vasher.{{book ref|wb|55}} After being turned away at the gates, Vivenna and Nightblood used Awakening to scale the walls but they were sighted by guards. Nightblood used his bond to Vasher to guide Vivenna to his location. Vivenna threw Nightblood to the guards at the entrance to the God King's palace as a distraction as she scaled the exterior of the palace. Vivenna managed to distract Denth long enough to free Vasher and in the ensuing struggle Vasher was shoved from a window.{{book ref|wb|56}} Vasher used Awakening to survive the fall and fight men and Lifeless on the ground below. As he became overwhelmed, Nightblood spoke in Vasher's mind, asking Vasher for praise for coming to save him. Vasher ran through the palace gates and recovered Nightblood from the corpse of one of the men Nightblood had killed. Vasher drew Nightblood, allowing him to feed on his Breaths and used Nightblood to defeat the soldiers and cut through the walls of the palace to return to the room where Denth had tortured him. Vasher found the room empty and was forced to drop Nightblood before the sword consumed the rest of his Breath and killed him. Denth then returned to the sword and challenged Vasher to a duel with regular Blades. Vasher managed to defeat Denth by giving Denth the last of his Breath by surprise, stunning Denth and allowing Vasher to kill him.{{book ref|wb|57}} Vasher then recovered Nightblood and his sheath and freed Vivenna.{{book ref|wb|58}} Nightblood revealed to Vivenna that Vasher was Talaxin, one of the Five Scholars. He also reminded Vasher that he had left an army in [[T'Telir]] the last time he had been there that might allow them to defeat Hallandren's Lifeless army. Vasher reluctantly agreed to give Susebron control of [[Kalad's Phantoms]], leaving Nightblood behind when he went to speak with the God King. After the Phantoms were dispatched to defeat Hallandren's rogue army, Vasher brought Nightblood with him and Vivenna as they left T'Telir to face a tyrant attempting to refound Huth and Kuth.{{book ref|wb|epilogue}}▼
