Yanagawn the First, formerly Gawx, is the Prime Aqasix, king of Azir, and emperor of Makabak.

He met and befriended Lift while working for his uncle, Huqin, as a thief.[2]

After being caught trespassing in the Bronze Palace, he was mortally wounded by one of Nale's attendants without first procuring the requisite documents to perform an execution. Lift revived him using Regrowth, and he was immediately pronounced Prime Aqasix by the attending viziers, who believed he had performed a miracle. After this he promptly pardoned Lift in order to stop Nale from executing her.[3]

Later on Dalinar spoke with him via spanreed. He listened to what Dalinar had to say about the Everstorm but refused to act on it, having heard the rumours of Dalinar's madness and instead believing his warnings to be simple ravings.[4]


History

The Azish kingdom was choosing a new Prime. At the Royal Palace the viziers, scribes, and arbiters were all given a chance to fill out the proper paperwork to apply to take the place of the new Prime. No one wanted the job. The last two Prime’s were murdered in the same week and with many Monarchs and Highprinces kills within the last two months made it obvious that new Prime would be killed as shortly.

That night Gawx followed his uncle on breaking in to steal from them. Lift partnered with him but did not follow the rules and went to the main dining room. Nale comes for her. In the process of taking her, the take Gawx for her surrender, as she doesn't move, they kill him. Lift reaches him and using her Edgedancer's investiture, heals him before he is fully dead. The Azish believe Gawx had performed a miracle and chose him Prime, he “pardons” Lift and Nale has to let her go.[2]
