It's unknown whether the Cryptics were created deliberately by a [[Shard]], or if they arose naturally from [[Roshar]]'s loose [[Investiture]]. During the [[Heraldic Epochs]], they, like many other sapient spren, began forming [[Nahel bond]]s with humans to mimic [[Honorblade]]s, leading to the creation of the [[Order of Lightweavers]].{{book ref|sa2|87}} During the [[Recreance]], the vast majority of the older Cryptics died, leaving none alive to remember how the Nahel
Over time, the Cryptics managed to recover somewhat, and by the late [[Era of Solitude]], they ruled over one of the largest cities in [[Shadesmar]], although they did not stray far from it often.{{book ref|sa2|3}}{{book ref|sa3|47}} At some point, they were engaged in some sort of political disagreement with the [[honorspren]], possibly related to the latter's attempt to conquer [[Shadesmar]].{{book ref|sa2|2}}{{book ref|sa3|47}}
They are known for enjoying lies, gathering around and humming among themselves wherever a falsehood is uttered, although they don't like being called "liespren".{{book ref|sa3|47}}{{book ref|sa2|3}} Despite this fascination with falsehoods, Cryptics themselves are bad at lying in general.{{book ref|sa4|26}} They are exceedingly honest, and it seems as though only through bonding with a human can they learn to use less straightforward ways of communication, such as sarcasm and humor.{{book ref|sa2|60}} They seem to prefer keeping together in groups rather than going off on their own.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
Cryptics as a whole are supportive of their members bonding with humans, with [[Pattern]] doing so with the approval of his peers.{{wob ref|3166}} Because of the [[Recreance]], many of them believe that such a bond is a death sentence, yet they also think that the things they could learn from humans are worth it.{{book ref|sa2|17}} Unlike most other spren, Cryptics do not leave their bonded kinsmen to navigate the Nahel
Cryptics have their own language, which consists of fast clicking sounds.{{book ref|sa4|26}} They can also speak equations in intonations, being able to communicate different Cryptics' names with the same word, Pattern. Since non-Cryptics cannot do this, the Lightweavers have had to convince them to adopt names other than Pattern.{{book ref|sa4|20}}
Cryptics are one of the few spren types capable of forming a [[Nahel bond]] with humans. They grant their partner the power of [[Surgebinding]] with the Surges of [[Illumination]] and [[Transformation]], making the person a [[Order of Lightweavers|Lightweaver]].{{file ref| TWoK Front Endsheet.jpg | Surgebinding Table}} Past a certain point, a bonded Cryptic gains the ability to transform into a shape-shifting [[Shardblade]].{{book ref|sa2|34}}
Unlike most Nahel
Cryptics are also able to let their Lightweavers peer into the [[Cognitive Realm]]. For inexperienced Surgebinders, they act as intermediaries in [[Soulcasting]], relaying the words of souls to them.{{book ref|sa2|7}} In fact, Cryptics have prodigious translation abilities, and seem capable of understanding any language, human on spren, with enough exposure.{{book ref|sa3|102}}{{book ref|sa2|47}} They are also adept codebreakers, a talent stemming from their in-depth understanding of mathematical patterns.{{book ref|sa2|42}}
