Vathah is the most naturally talented Lightweaver amongst the [[Unseen Court]].{{book ref\|sa4\|20}} He didn't recognize the first time he used Lightweaving.{{book ref\|~~sa4~~sa3\|2077}} === Soulcasting === He is often very brooding, and is not usually in the best of moods. He greatly dislikes Shallan, insulting his men because they want to help her.{{book ref\|sa2\|24}} He can be quite stealthy, and later during his time in [[Urithiru]] takes great interest in learning espionage.{{book ref\|sa2\|20}} He can play a part well.{{book ref\|sa2\|36}} After [[Tyn]] is killed, Vathah accepts Shallan as a true master, and gains respect for her. He will only take orders from her, and won't do what he is told not to.{{book ref\|sa2\|36}} It does not mean he will do whatever she tells him to do though, and thinks it stupid when others work extra hard to please her.{{book ref\|sa2\|77}} Once arriving at the Warcamps Vathah gets his record cleared of past crimes and is housed in a tenement in Highprince [[Sebarial]]'s Warcamp.{{book ref\|sa2\|42}} Vathah will mainly speak in grunts, preferring not to use actual words. Vathah also does not like sitting around not doing anything, even if he gets paid to do it.{{book ref\|sa2\|47}} He seems to understand many jokes, but barely acknowledges them, except for with the occasional grunt.{{book ref\|sa2\|77}} When given a job, he will do it wholeheartedly, as long as he accepts it.{{book ref\|sa2\|77}} After the relocation to [[Urithiru]] Vathah does not have much do to for a few weeks, and so he starts to to take his job less seriously. He slouches and yawns while guarding Shallan because she doesn't seem to even want him there.{{book ref\|sa3\|21}} Despite this, he does not think of Shallan as a bad employer. She has only done right by him, in his book.{{book ref\|sa3\|27}} When in the middle of doing something for Shallan, he acts nicer and friendlier towards people.{{book ref\|sa3\|29}} Vathah wants people to think him a ruthless person who only cares about getting the job done and getting paid, but he is not naturally that person.{{book ref\|sa3\|40}} Vathah does not want any of his men to get into trouble again, and ensures that they don't do what they did before meeting Shallan, such as making sure that [[Gaz]] does not get in debt again.{{book ref\|sa3\|40}} When learning how to do espionage from [[Ishnah]] Vathah becomes very interested, and does not participate in the rest of the guards' friendly banter.{{book ref\|sa3\|44}} He has a lot of enthusiasm for the training, and possesses quite a bit of natural talent.{{book ref\|sa3\|44}} He takes things in stride when they are part of his job, or tries to seem like he does. If he gets surprised he doesn't let it slow him down.{{book ref\|sa3\|72}} During the [[siege of Kholinar]] he becomes a squire to Shallan.{{book ref\|sa3\|77}} This is probably related to his skill in espionage, as that is a Lightweaver trait.{{book ref\|sa3\|77}} He is the member of the [[Unseen Court]] that Shallan trusts the most.{{book ref\|sa4\|7}}
