=== Appearance ===
Nightblood takes the form of a five-foot-long black sword.{{book ref|wb|50}} Nightblood's blade itself is a deep black color,{{book ref|wb|prologue}} although it was not that color before it was Awakened. It is often kept in a silver sheath{{book ref|wb|prologue}} made of [[aluminum]],{{wob ref
=== Personality ===
As a construct, Nightblood has a personality and perspective that often seems alien to his human companions. Nightblood's personality is based upon the Command given to him by Vasher and Shashara when he was forged, "Destroy Evil". However, he has no concept of intangible ideas, such as love, hope, or evil. This makes it difficult for Nightblood to truly follow his Command, although he does his best to do so.
Interestingly enough, Nightblood does not really seem to have a gender. While he is most commonly referred to as having a masculine voice, some such as Lift have heard his voice as feminine. Vasher made the initial decision to refer to Nightblood with masculine pronouns.{{wob ref
== History ==
=== Creation ===
Nightblood was created by Shashara and Vasher during the Manywar. There were two primary objectives in his creation. Several of the [[Five Scholars]] had previously traveled to post-[[Recreance]] Roshar,{{wob ref
