He is the leader of the group of mercenaries spotted by [[Bluth]] which includes [[Gaz]] among their numbers. They spot [[Tvlakv]]'s caravans and begin chasing slowly on foot, following the trail of crushed [[rockbud]]s left behind by the [[chull]]s.{{book ref|sa2|15}} His band of deserters are rugged and dirty, but take good care of their weapons and equipment.{{book ref|sa2|20}} Vathah is the most dark out of the deserters.{{book ref|sa4|26}} There are roughly 25 men in his band{{book ref|sa2|20}}{{book ref|sa2|15}} Eventually [[Shallan]] Davar turns around and uses her [[Surgebinding#Illumination|Lightweaving]] in order to convince his crew to fight on her behalf.
