Difference between revisions of "Vasher"

 

He is in possession of a sword named [[Nightblood]] and was one of the [[Five Scholars]].

Upon being returned, the [[Cult of the Returned]] named him "Warbreaker the Peaceful."

 

Vasher was a member of the Five Scholars. He worked with [[Shashara]] to create Nightblood, among other things.

 

Fighting broke out when Arsteel attempted to disarm Vasher so as to talk sense into him. Arsteel, however, was slain by Vasher in their duel for at first unknown reasons. As Arsteel was the superior swordsman, Vasher was forced to use a trick to win the fight. When, during the events of Warbreaker, he fought Denth, we learned how he defeated Arsteel: He passed on a small quantity of Breaths to Arsteel, and slew the other Scholar when the shock of receiving Breath stunned him. The same way Vasher beat Denth.

 

Vasher, then known as Kalad, started an aggressive war between his kingdom, [[Hallandren]], and the kingdoms of Kuth and Huth. The exact details are unknown, although it was hinted that Vasher was the first to strike. He believed war was unavoidable and decided to attack before the others did instead of trying for peace. The war ended when Vasher, having seen the death caused by the war, used his own creations, [[Kalad's Phantoms]], to take control of Hallandren.

 

Historians were confused by his sudden change of heart, so it was eventually decided that the war was ended by Peacegiver, through diplomacy.

 

At the end of the Manywar, Vasher gave his store of Breaths (approximately fifty thousand) to the priests of Hallandren. It was passed down from God King to God King, all of whom had their tongues removed so that they wouldn't use the Breath.

 

 

At the beginning of [[Warbreaker]], Vasher used a trick to get himself imprisoned in the God King's palace. He escaped his cell and killed [[Vahr]], in exchange for Vahr's Breath.

He later on rescued [[Vivenna]] and taught her to awaken. He helped Vivenna undo her work of trying to get the Idrians to start a war. Later on he broke into the God King's palace and got trapped by [[Denth]]. He killed Denth and told the [[God King]] how to use Vasher's army to stop the army of [[Lifeless]] which the [[Pahn Kahl]] had sent to attack [[Idris]].

 

Vasher worldhops to [[Roshar]], where he is known as '''Zahel'''. He is a reclusive warrior [[ardent]] who teaches the [[House Kholin|Kholin]] princes and [[Kaladin]] how to sword fight.
