Difference between revisions of "Vasher"

Vasher is one of the greatest awakeners to ever live. Having been alive for as long as he has, as well as dedicating large amounts of his life to study and experimentation, Vasher has extensive knowledge of awakening. Vasher can issue highly advanced commands to aid in combat, mobility, or espionage. He often does this using the minimum amount of breathes required, as he knows exactly how much is needed. Vasher has also developed innovations in the application of breaths. He created [[Kalad's Phantoms]], a near unstoppable army of lifeless stone soldiers. He also is thealso one onlyof livingtwo personpeople to know how to create sentient inanimate objects, having created [[Nightblood]], an extremely powerful sword.

Vasher is a prolificvery 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]] blade master, having directly trained both of the Kholin children and [[Kaladin]] in the use and defense against shardblades. His familiarity to using shardblades most likely stems from Nightblood having similar abilities to shardblades.
