== History ==
=== Early Years ===
Vahr spent his early life working long hours for little pay aside from food on the dye fields surrounding [[Hallandren]].{{ref|b|wb|c|19}} During that time he spent at least a decade as a revolutionary, trying to convince his fellow workers to rebel.{{annotation ref
=== Rebellion ===
About five years before [[Bluefingers|Bluefingers']] [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]], Vahr had an idea.{{ref|b|wb|c|19}} He thought that if he could convince his fellow workers to give him their [[Breath]], he could use its power to start a rebellion against the overseers on the dye fields. As these Breaths came from like-minded, rebellious people, Vahr's determination and resolve were strengthened.{{ref|?|590|38|In Vahr's case, did collecting Breath from other rebel-minded people strengthen his determination and resolve?}}
At this point Vahr attempted to raise a Pahn Kahl army to rebel against Hallandren itself.{{ref|b|wb|c|1}} He received financial support from Hallandren's rival trading partners, possibly including [[Tedradel]].{{
However, Vahr received support from local rebellious factions as well. He sought the help of [[Idrian]] crime lords, such as [[Rira (character)|Rira]], [[Ashu]], and [[Paxen]].{{ref|b|wb|c|31}} They supplied Vahr with money to feed his army, despite the fact that they did not like that he was not Idrian. Due to this, they were not particularly loyal to Vahr's cause; they were mostly interested in increasing their wealth and influence.{{ref|b|wb|c|19}} Another strong, if weaker, ally to Vahr's rebellion was the Idrian crime lord [[Grable]].{{ref|b|wb|c|22}}
Unfortunately, Vahr's newfound power and notoriety would end up working against him. His hero status among the dye workers drew the attention of the [[Court of Gods]]{{ref|b|wb|c|19}} While the court considered him to be a fool who posed little threat to Hallandren or [[T'Telir]],{{ref|b|wb|c|5}} they were still interested in capturing him.
Bluefingers, whose own plans for rebellion were already in motion, was irked by Vahr drawing attention to the dissatisfaction of the Pahn Kahl.{{annotation ref
Vahr was kept in a special cell for [[Awakener]]s.{{ref|b|wb|prologue}} The walls had been drained of all color, and he was gagged and hung from the ceiling by ropes attached his arms so he had no ability to Awaken anything. Vahr's Breath was so valuable that the government of Hallandren did not want to execute him before he gave it to them. There they spent two weeks torturing him by beating, burning, and cutting him.
== Trivia ==
*Vahr's original name was "Pahn". [[Brandon]] liked the name so much, he named the whole nation of Pahn Kahl after Pahn. However, he felt it would be confusing to have the two of them share a name, so he changed Pahn's name to Vahr.{{
