== History ==
Sometime before {{Rosharan date|1174}}, Kabsal joined the [[Ghostbloods]] and went under cover as an [[ardent]] in the [[Palanaeum]]. He pretends to pursue romantic involvement with [[Shallan Davar]] during her time in [[Kharbranth]] with the goal of assassinating her mentor and teacher [[Jasnah Kholin]], a well-known atheist.{{book ref|sa1|70}} Shallan at first suspects he is trying to convert Jasnah, and then later believes he seeks to prevent Shallan from becoming an atheist. He claims to have found proof of the [[Almighty]]'s existence, which he demonstatesdemonstrates through [[cymatics]] by playing notes next to a metal plate with salt on it. As the notes are played the salt takes the shapes different cities from the [[Silver Kingdoms]]. Jasnah sees the demonstration, knows what Kabsal is doing, and asks him to make the shape of [[Urithiru]]. She is unwelcoming, claiming that is what Kabsal expects, and if she had been welcoming he would have been surprised and suspicious.{{book ref|sa1|33}}
 
He and Shallan share a passion for jam, and he often brings jam to the library where Jasnah and Shallan spend most of their time. When Shallan is in the hospital talking to Jasnah, he brings poisoned bread with jam as the antidote, knowing that Jasnah doesn't like jam and will only eat the bread. Jasnah discovers this, and [[soulcast]]s the bread. She also saves Shallan by soulcasting her blood to remove the poison from it.{{book ref|sa1|70}} Kabsal is not, in fact, an ardent, but instead a member of the [[Ghostbloods]].{{book ref|sa1|74}} Kabsal is killed by the poison in the assassination attempt.{{book ref|sa1|48}}
