He joined the Five Scholars, and there was a golden age in discovering [[Awakening]] Commands for several years. Among them, Yesteel was considered a master of Lifeless Commands.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=57}} Unfortunately, these discoveries were part of the reason for the [[Manywar]], such as [[Shashara]]'s discovery of a Command that could create a Lifeless with a single [[Breath]].{{book ref|wb|32}}{{book ref|wb|53}}▼
Yesteel is very skilled at sneaking around, a fact which Nightblood knows of and mentions to [[Vivenna]].{{book ref|wb|55}} This could mean that Yesteel is especially good at surpressing his divine Breath and shaping himself to whatever he needs.

As one of the Five Scholars, Yesteel is extremely knowledgable about [[Awakening]], and he is an expert in [[Lifeless]] Commands. Jewels seems to believe that Yesteel could bring back the memories of Arsteel's Lifeless body, which is far beyond Vasher's capabilities of working with Lifeless.{{

Three hundred years after the Manywar, an unknown tyrant recruited Yesteel to restore Kuth and Huth, an action which finally revealed Yesteel's whereabouts to Vasher. Yesteel had created a stronger form of ichor-alcohol, and could be helping the tyrant to cause conflict on Nalthis.{{book ref|wb|epilogue}}▼

If, during the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]], the Hallandren Lifeless army had not been stopped, Yesteel would have brought Kuth and Huth to [[Idris]]'s aid, revealing the secret of the Awakened swords to them. He would have pressed towards Hallandren and destroyed [[T'Telir]].{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=47}}{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=55}}▼

==Relationships==
===Shashara===
It seems as though Shashara and Yesteel had a competitive relationship when it came to their scholarship. Shashara came up with the first Command for creating Lifeless with a single Breath,{{book ref|wb|53}} but since Yesteel is referred to as a master of Lifeless Commands{{
