== History ==
=== Early Years ===
Vahr spent his early life working long hours for little pay aside from food on the dye fields surrounding [[Hallandren]].{{book ref|wb|19}} During that time he spent at least a decade as a revolutionary, trying to convince his fellow workers to rebel.{{
=== Rebellion ===
About five years before [[Bluefingers
At this point Vahr attempted to raise a Pahn Kahl army to rebel against Hallandren itself.{{book ref|wb|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]].{{book ref|wb|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.{{book ref|wb|19}} Another strong, if weaker, ally to Vahr's rebellion was the Idrian crime lord [[Grable]].{{book ref|wb|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]]{{book ref|wb|19}} While the court considered him to be a fool who posed little threat to Hallandren or [[T'Telir]],{{book ref|wb|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.{{
Vahr was kept in a special cell for [[Awakener]]s.{{book ref|wb|prologue}} The walls had been drained of all color, and he was gagged and hung by his arms from the ceiling
As Vahr's Idrian supporters had never been terribly loyal

=== Death ===
Upon hearing of Vahr's capture, Vasher saw an opportunity he had been waiting two years for.
=== Legacy ===
However, the Idrian crime lords had lost a lot of money to Vahr's failure,{{book ref|wb|19}} and were hesitant to listen to her proposition, so Denth lost their support in his quest to get Idris and Hallandren to go to war with one another.{{book ref|wb|28}} Denth did however have the men attacking merchant caravans disguised to appear to be members of Vahr's broken army.{{book ref|wb|19}}
Vahr also furnished Vasher with hundreds of Breaths, ensuring Vasher's continued life and giving him enough power to once again perform complex Awakenings.{{book ref|wb|prologue}}
▲== Appearance & Personality ==

== 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.{{
