=== Returned ===
{{for|Returned}}
Vasher isAs a Returned, whoVasher has a Divine [[Breath]], making him automatically of the Fifth [[Heightening (ageless)]].{{book ref|wb|32}} However, over the years he has learned to give away all of his Breath except for thatthe one ReturnedDivine Breath that keeps him alive. As long as he has that one Breath (which he’s learned to suppress and hide), he can stay alive.{{wob ref|7478}}
 
InOn Roshar, he uses [[Stormlight]] to keep himself alive. and thoughThough he cannot use it to [[Awaken]],{{wob ref|10380}} he can still sense people.{{book ref|sa2|i|6}} He can draw investiture[[Investiture]] from highstorms[[highstorm]]s,{{wob ref|5167}} this, however,but doesn't allow himhave access to [[Surgebinding]].{{wob ref|5727}} The method he uses involves the gap in his [[spiritwebSpiritweb]] left by his [[Divine Breath]].{{wob ref|2912}}
 
=== Awakening ===
{{for|Awakening}}
Vasher has a lot of good information, and a handle on what he doesn’t understand.{{wob ref|7352}} He can trivially issue three commandsCommands in one Awakening, which is a difficult task, but for him it had become as simple assome blinkingAwakeners.{{book ref|wb|51}}
 
Vasher has also developed innovations in the application of Breaths. He created [[Kalad's Phantoms]], a near-unstoppable army of Lifeless stone soldiers. He is also one of two known Awakeners who have created sentient inanimate objects, having created [[Nightblood]].
 
In Roshar, he uses Stormlight to keep himself alive, butHe has not figured out how to Awaken withusing itStormlight.{{wob ref|10380}}
 
=== Swordsmanship ===
Vasher is a very 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 transferredtransferring Breaths to stun his opponent.{{book ref|wb|57}} A clear indicator of his sword-fighting prowess is that on Roshar he is a highly sought-after [[Alethi]] weapons-master, having directly trained both of the Kholin children and [[Kaladin]] in the use of and defense against [[Shardblade]]s. His familiarity with wielding Shardblades presumably was honed by using Nightblood, who is similar to a very powerful Shardblade.{{wob ref|6892}}

Vasher was born on Nalthis,{{wob ref|2768}} and waseventually adied memberand ofReturned. theLike Fiveother ScholarsReturned, (alonghe withcannot [[Denth]],remember [[Arsteel]]anything of his life from before his Return.

Upon being returned, the [[Cult of the Returned]] named him Warbreaker the Peaceful and kept him alive by giving him Breath.{{book ref|wb|epilogue}}
 
AllHe offormed the five[[Five scholarsScholars]], werealong with the other Returned [[Denth]], [[Arsteel]], [[Shashara]], and [[Yesteel]]. Vasher, (then known as Talaxin,) and [[Shashara]] created Nightblood some time after [[Worldhopping]]{{ref|text=It is known that Shashara is a [[Worldhopper]]{{wob ref|1548}} but not whether she accompanied Vasher to Roshar.}} to [[Roshar]],{{wob ref|3211}} among other things, while they were both in love. He married Shashara shortly before he slew her with Nightblood. He killed her in order to prevent the knowledge of its creation from being disseminated.{{wob ref|6954}}
 
=== The Manywar and Aftermath ===
After the fiveFive Scholars split, they all joined different sides. Somein kingdomsthe gained[[Manywar]], theeach usebringing ofdifferent Lifelessspecialized whileknowledge othersto didtheir not. Somechosen kingdoms had weapons others could only envy.{{book ref|wb|32}}
 
By the time war started, Vasher was known as Kalad. The true origin of the war is a topic of debate among scholars,{{book ref|wb|32}} but it is known that Kalad was the man who had started the [[Manywar]] against the cities of Kuth and Huth. Stories say Kalad had used his knowledge of BioChromatic Breath to create a vast army of Lifeless and seize power in Hallandren. He had protected the kingdom with his armies, yet had shattered the kingdom as well by driving the royals into the highlands.{{book ref|wb|077}}
 
He later had a change of heart, which was so confusing for people that they thought he was a different person. Because of this, he is also became known as Peacegiver, who stoppeddefeated fighting,Kalad and broughtsent away the Phantoms back to seize control of his own kingdom to stop the Manywar.{{book ref|wb|epilogue15}} However, he had not restored Hallandren to its original rulers. Idris’s histories claimed betrayal and treachery. The monks spoke of heresies that were too deeply ingrained in Hallandren.{{book ref|wb|1532}}
 
It was too late for Kuth and Huth. Howeverhad already been destroyed, but the other kingdoms—Pahnkingdoms Kahl,agreed Tedradel,to Gys,stop andthe HallandrenManywar itself—werethanks broughtto outPeacegiver's of the conflictdiplomacy.{{book ref|wb|32}}{{book ref|wb|epilogue}}

=== Pahn Kahl Rebellion ===
 
At some point, Vasher misinterpreted Arsteel's motives in joining with Denth and killed him.{{wob ref|7387}} Due to this, and VashersVasher's killing of Shashara, Denth and Vasher become enemies.
 
Vasher used a trick to get himself imprisoned in the God King's palace. He escaped his cell and visited a rebel called [[Vahr]]. Vahr gave Vasher his Breath in exchange for a merciful death.{{book ref|wb|prologue}}
 
Vasher found through a priest there was a political HallandirienHallandren group pushing for war against Idris, where the exiled royals lived.{{book ref|wb|5}} Looking for more information on the faction involved, he met with Bluefingers,{{wob ref|6802}} who gave him information whichthat led him into the home of Mercystar, a Returned who was known for her involvement in politics, yet who wasn’tnot all that influentialinfluential. He broke into her palace and; after disabling some guards and Awakeningcreating a lifelessLifeless squirrel as a distraction, he was able to find a secret trapdoor.{{book ref|wb|21}}
 
He found VivenaVivenna was inadvertently working with Denth onto creatingcreate disturbances and vandalizingvandalize the city, which was making the movement for war stronger. Because of this, he kidnapped VivenaVivenna and took her to one of the slums, where he forced her to take Nightblood to test her heart. As Nightblood cannot tempt the hearts of those who are pure, she felt sick and dropped the sword, feeling sick; thus shethereby passedpassing the test and gotgaining his protection. She however, still believed, however, that Denth and his team were on her side and ran back to them, findingonly to find out they were traitorsnot andwhat ran from them asthey wellseemed.{{book ref|wb|35}} SometimeVivenna after,ran Vasherfrom threwthem Nightbloodand toended someup thugson hiredthe bystreets; Dentheventually, whoVasher were moving againstfound her, and afterrescued they were all deadher, heusing descendedNightblood fromto akill rooftop,thugs securedwho thewere sword and tookthreatening her back with him.{{book ref|wb|41}}
 
Vasher thenbegan tooktaking herVivenna to his meetings wherewith members of the Idrian community of Hallandren; he had been trying and failing to convince the Idrian community in Hallandrenthem to stop the riots and avoid the war. HeVivenna got Vivenna’sasked helpthe who asked themIdrians to find a way to bring attention to their suffering without bringing hatred as well, and to become heroes to Idris.{{book ref|wb|43}} After that, they continued reaching different groups of people with the same speech in favor of stopping the war.{{book ref|wb|46}}
 
Vivenna shared some of [[Denth]]'s plans with Vasher. This knowledge tipped him into finding the daughter of one of the priests who was kidnapped to turn her father in favor of the war. During this rescue, Vasher loseslost his temper and killskilled the thugs.{{book ref|wb|49}}
 
Vivenna and Vasher gowent to the arena to watch the Hallandren vote, iton doesn’twar. goThey very well to the peace cause, and they also findfound out that Siri iswas pregnant.; at Vivenna's pleading, Vasher agreesagreed to help Vivenna to save her.{{book ref|wb|50}} When he broke into the God King’s palace, he was ambushed by Denth’s mercenaries who captured him.{{book ref|wb|51}} When Vasher woke up, he was tied by his wrists to a hook in the ceiling of a stone room and Denth tortured himby Denth.{{book ref|wb|53}}

By the time Vasher comesfound outVivenna again, the Pahn Kahl had already sent Hallandren’s Lifeless to attack Idris. They wanted both kingdoms to fight and be weakened, making it easier infor hopethem to gain their own liberty.

=== Worldhopping to Roshar ===
{{image|Trained by Master by Ari Ibarra.jpg|Training [[Adolin]]|side=right|width=200px}}
 
Vasher moved to Roshar and changedtook hison namethe toname '''Zahel'''. His main purpose in returning to Roshar was to have easier access to the [[Investiture]], in the form of ([[Stormlight]]), that he needsneeded in order to survive.{{wob ref|4553}} He partially walked and partially took a vehicle to get from Nalthis to Roshar,{{wob ref|8168}}, making use of a caravan running between the two planets.{{wob ref|11992}} Vasher became aware of the [[Purelake]] at some point and told Nightblood about it and its "magic fish", though it is not known whether that happened during this trip or an earlier one.{{book ref|sa3|90}} Vasher was separated from Nightblood after arriving intoat this worldRoshar.{{wob ref|1714}}
 
During the [[War of Reckoning]], he served as ardent and swordmaster in the Kholin warcamp. With encouragement from Adolin, whowhom he had trained before,{{book ref|sa2|35}} he became the masterswordmaster for Renarin Kholin.{{book ref|sa2|16}}.
 
Zahel appreciated Renarin’s enthusiasm, obedience, and nowillingness fearto of lookinglook foolish for the sake of training. He also offered to train Kaladin in using Shards and defending himself from Shardbearers andin helporder himto better protect the Kholins. He tested Kaladin by sparring with him; recognizinghe hisrecognized abilities both inKaladin's skill and tenacity, but lettingstill himfelt knowthat he needed more training wasto neededbe fully effective.{{book ref|sa2|18}} Kaladin didn’t accept the offer at first, but came asking for it after the attempt on the king’s life; he brought three more men from Bridge Four to train with him. Most of the training was given by [[Ivis]], his fellowanother ardent.{{book ref|sa2|44}}
 
During the [[Siege of Kholinar]], Vivenna (now going by the name of Azure) met both Kaladin and Adolin. Before parting from them, she asked them to warn Zahel that she was looking for him.{{book ref|sa3|110}}
== Relationships ==
=== Denth ===
Vasher knows [[Denth]] as VaraTreledees and Denth knows Vasher as Tax. They werestart out as friends, colleagues from the fiveFive scholarsScholars, and in-laws (when Vasher marriedmarries Denth’s sister, Shashara). However, after the creation of Nightblood, Vasher killedkills his wife thusShashara, making Denth a life longlifelong enemy of Denth.{{book ref|wb|53}}
 
Denth worked for the Pahn Khal and his payment would be capturing Vasher and make him pay for killing Shashara and Arsteel.{{book ref|wb|51}} Denth did respect Vasher and acknowledged all the good he had done for people throughout his life.{{book ref|wb|52}} Denth wanted Nightblood to kill Vasher, like he did with Shashara; or killed in duel like Arsteel. In the end, Denth was killed by Vasher with the same maneuver used to kill Arsteel.{{book ref|wb|57}}
 
=== Vivenna ===
At first, Vasher believes [[Vivenna]] is working with Denth and wants war between Idris and Hallandren. He kidnaps her and tests her by asking her to hold Nightblood. {{book ref|wb|49}} Because she feels sick from doing so, he concludes she has a good heart and decides to protect her, even after she ranruns from him.{{book ref|wb|41}} He teaches Vivenna about Awakening,the boththeory theand practice andof the theoryAwakening.{{book ref|wb|46}} He also helps her get a good grip on her sword and gives her some tips on how to act.{{book ref|wb|49}}
 
Vivenna is turned against Vasher by Denth,{{book ref|wb|19}}{{book ref|wb|28}} an impression that is reinforced by Vasher's rough treatment of Vivenna when he first kidnaps her.{{book ref|wb|35}} However, after he rescues her from the streets and they train and work together, she begins to trust him more and more.{{book ref|wb|49}} After the Pahn Kahl rebellion, she chooses to leave behind her life as a princess to travel the world with Vasher.{{book ref|wb|epilogue}}
To Vivenna, Vasher was rough. He was brutal. He had a terrible temper. But he was a good man. And, walking beside him, she felt safe.{{book ref|wb|49}}
 
=== Shashara ===

=== Nightblood ===
}}
 
Vasher and Shashara createdcreate [[Nightblood]] during the days when they wereare in love{{wob ref|6954}} based uponon the [[Shardblade]]s they hadhave seen on [[Roshar]].{{wob ref|5107}} He changedchanges his name after using him to kill his wife. Vasher has a bitsomething of a blind spot whenand itsome comesbias toregarding Nightblood. Heand makes assumptions he wouldn’twouldn't make regarding other people or elements of Awakening. It’s hard for him to regard the sword without biasothers.{{wob ref|7373}}
 
He doesn’t usually draw him,Nightblood; all Vasher has to do is throw in Nightbloodhim and let him do what he does. To Vasher, that’sif often all the justification he needs. If the swordsomeone can makebe themcontrolled killby each otherNightblood, then they weremust be guilty.{{wob ref|6963}}
 
Nightblood can sense where Vasher is. This is because Nightblood has ingested and fed off ofon Vasher’s Breaths in the past, which is also the reason why he isdoes not become sick when touching it.{{wob ref|7404}} In Roshar, it is implied he still talks to Nightblood expecting hisan answer back, though there hasn’t been an answer in years.{{book ref|sa2|i|6}}
 
=== Dalinar Kholin’s familyFamily ===
Vasher considers [[Dalinar Kholin]] and his sons to be his friends.{{book ref|sa2|44}} He speaks fondly to Adolin and addresses him as a student, despite the distinct hierarchical difference between them. Adolin often remembers Zahel’s (Vasher’s) advice and speaks fondly of his training with him.{{book ref|sa3|15}} Vasher also considers it to be a pleasure to train Renarin due to his enthusiasm, obedience, and lack of fear of looking foolish, something that Vasher says is not easy to teach.{{book ref|sa2|18}}
 
Vasher trains Kaladin and his men to be better bodyguards to the Kholins. {{book ref|sa2|44}} He wouldsometimes go to watchwatches Adolin duel and shoutshouts advice to him.{{book ref|sa2|56}} Vasher also gavegives Dalinar advice on how the ardents must feel about having to choose between him and their religion when Dalinar pushes for testing the moreboundaries of [[Vorinism]]. Presumably thanks to his broader worldview and lack of actual adherence to Vorinism, he pushedaccepts forDalinar's breakingactions somemuch rulesmore readily than the other ardents.{{book ref|sa3|16}}
 
=== Kaladin ===

Vasher, as Zahel, trains [[Kaladin]] and is able to understand him, knowing that he is a profound person who asks many questions. Kaladin trusts Vasher enough that he soughtlater seeks his advice when he wasis bothered with the moral decision of letting King [[Elhokar]] be killed.{{book ref|sa2|81}}
