History

Iyatil's origins are something of a mystery. One thing is clear, she and her people, whoever they might be, have a complex history.

On Roshar

Iyatil is there when Brightlady Shallan Davar, in the guise of Veil, meets with Mraize for the first time in the Ghostblood safe house beneath Sebarial's warcamp. Iyatil's appearance makes Shallan uncomfortable and when she leaves, Iyatil follows her. Iyatil looses Shallan when after using some Lightweaving, she manages to hide in an alcove and escape.

Later Iyatil is present again when Shallan meets with Mraize to give her report on what she found in Meridas Amaram's home. Iyatil holds Mraize's blowgun, collects his kills, and serves mulled orange wine.

Iyatil's

Iyatil then attempts to assassinate Highlord Meridas Amaram when he goes to the Vorin temple to retrieve the Herald Talenel to bring him to Urithiru. Taln manages to shake off his madness long enough to snatch her two poisoned blow darts out of midair. Assassination attempt foiled, Iyatil flees.

Appearance & Personality

The most distinctive aspect of Iyatil's appearance is indubitably her mask. It is made of red-orange carapace from an unidentified creature, painted and arranged in a mosaic-like pattern that appears like a face with eyebrows and an expression of anger. This mask is tied tightly to her face and is never removed. In fact, the skin on her face seems to have begun to grow around the edges of the mask. The mask leaves Iyatil's mouth and chin uncovered. The reason for this unusual behavior has yet to be given.

The rest of Iyatil's appearance is far less noteworthy. She wears simple dark brown shirt and trousers with an intricate carapace belt, and occasionally a black cloak when she is attempting to go about unnoticed. Iyatil's beady eyes are dark and her skin is tan. She is a short woman who could easily be mistaken for a boy, especially because she does not cover her safehand.
