Vasher is a Returned who has a Divine Breath making him automatically of the Fifth Heightening (ageless).{{book ref|wb|32}} However, over the years he has learned to give away all his Breath except for that one Returned Breath that keeps him alive.

Vasher has also developed innovations in the application of Breaths. He created [[Kalad's Phantoms]], a near-unstoppable army of Lifeless stone soldiers. He is also one of two known Awakeners who have created sentient inanimate objects, having created [[Nightblood]].▼
In Roshar, he uses Stormlight to keep himself alive, but has not figured out how to Awaken with it.{{wob ref|10380}}▼
=== Swordsmanship ===▼
Vasher is a very skilled swordsman, with three hundred years of practice along with his Returned speed and strength. Though he has admitted that he is not the best swordsman because his temper gets in the way, his ingenuity in combat gives him an edge. He also is open to using "cheap tricks" in combat, such as when he transferred Breaths to stun his opponent. A clear indicator of his sword-fighting prowess is that on Roshar he is a highly sought-after [[Alethi]] weapons-master, having directly trained both of the Kholin children and [[Kaladin]] in the use of and defense against [[Shardblade]]s. His familiarity with wielding Shardblades presumably was honed by using Nightblood, a very powerful Shardblade.▼
== History ==
Peacegiver’s legacy of the Manywar are two. He left a wealth of BioChromatic Breath, over fifty thousand Breaths, and asked to keep them safe (held by the God Kings) and warned not to use it.{{book ref|wb|40}} He also left the Phantoms Invested with enough Breath to hold them together but not to move. A big and substantial influx of Breath is needed in order to actually make them have motion, to bring them enough strength to move and fight.{{wob ref|4500}}
=== Pahn Kahl Rebellion ===
=== Worldhopping to Roshar ===
Vasher moved to Roshar and changed his name to '''Zahel'''. His main purpose in returning to Roshar was to have easier access to the [[Investiture]] ([[Stormlight]]) that he needs in order to survive.{{wob ref|4553}} He partially walked and partially took a vehicle to get from Nalthis to Roshar{{wob ref|8168}}, making use of a caravan running between the two planets.{{wob ref|11992}} Vasher was separated from Nightblood after arriving into this world.{{wob ref|1714}}
During the [[Siege of Kholinar]], Vivenna (now going by the name of Azure) met both Kaladin and Adolin. Before parting from them, she asked them to warn Zahel that she was looking for him.{{book ref|sa3|110}}
