However after the creation of Nightblood, Vasher killed his wife thus making Denth a life long enemy.{{book ref|wb|53}}
Denth worked for the Pahn Khal and his payment would be capturing Vasher and make him pay for killing Shashara and Arsteel.{{book ref|wb|51}} Denth did respect Vasher and acknowledged all the good he had done for people throughout his life.{{book ref|wb|52}} Denth wanted Nightblood to kill Vasher, like he did with Shashara; or killed in duel like Arsteel.

=== Vivenna ===
At first glance, Vasher believes
For Vivienna, Vasher was rough. He was brutal. He had a terrible temper. But he was a good man. And, walking beside him, she felt safe.{{book ref|wb|49}}
=== Shashara ===
[[Shashara
She drew Nightblood at the battle of Twilight Falls and Vasher was horrified by the result.{{annotation ref|book=wb|chapter=26}} It’s because of her insistence on using the sword in battle, and in giving away the secret to creating more, that Vasher and she fought. He ended up killing her with Nightblood, which they’d created together during the days they were in love—he married her a short time before their falling out. That marriage ended with him slaying his own wife to keep her from creating more abominations like Nightblood and loosing them upon the world.{{annotation ref|book=wb|chapter=26}}
=== Nightblood ===
Vasher and Shashara created Nightblood during the days they were in love.{{annotation ref|book=wb|chapter=26}} And he changed his name after using him to kill his wife. Vasher has a bit of a blind spot when it comes to Nightblood. He makes assumptions he wouldn’t make regarding other people or elements of Awakening. It’s hard for him to regard the sword without bias.{{annotation ref|book=wb|chapter=51}}▼
| Sneaking, Vasher? You’re terrible at sneaking.▼

He doesn’t usually draw him, all Vasher has to do is throw in Nightblood and let him do what he does. To Vasher, that’s often all the justification he needs. If the sword can make them kill each other, then they were guilty.{{annotation ref|book=wb|chapter=29}}
=== Dalinar Kholin’s family ===
Vasher considers [[Dalinar Kholin]] and his sons to be his friends.{{book ref|sa2|44}} He speaks fondly to Adolin and addresses him as a student, despite the distinct hierarchical difference between them. Adolin often remembers Zahel’s (Vasher’s) advice and speaks fondly of his training with him.{{book ref|sa3|15}} Vasher also considers it to be a pleasure to train Renarin due to his enthusiasm, obedience, and lack of fear of looking foolish, something that Vasher says is not easy to teach.{{book ref|sa2|18}}
Vasher trains Kaladin and his men to be better bodyguards to the Kholins. {{book ref|sa2|44}} He would go to watch Adolin duel and shout advice to him.{{book ref|sa2|56}} Vasher also gave Dalinar advice on how the ardents must feel having to choose between him and their religion the more he pushed for breaking some rules.{{book ref|sa3|16}}
=== Kaladin ===
Vasher as Zahel trains Kaladin and is able to understand him, knowing that he is a profound person who asks many questions. Kaladin trusts Vasher enough that he sought his advice when he was bothered with the moral decision of letting King [[Elhokar]] be killed.{{book ref|sa2|81}}▼
