He speaks the dayAzish helanguage wasand has an overbearing, haughty killedattitude.{{book ref|sa3|92}} Although he lives in the Purelake region, it is likely that he is originally Azish.
 
== History ==
[[Ki]] referred to Kwati as the "high minister" of a small town on the northern border of the [[Purelake]], presumably in [[Marabethia]]. A coalition of rulers had agreed to allow the [[Order of Skybreakers]] to perform law enforcement functions in the area. The local population consisted of nonviolent [[Reshi]] people, so criminals were not usually executed. Instead, convicts from across the region were sent to a prison facility in the town administered by Kwati, who was paid tribute to run the prison. He gave the prisoners forehead tattoos to make them easily identifiable.{{book ref|sa3|92}}
Minister Kwati was in charge of maintaining the prison facilities at the Purelake where criminals from all across the region were held. He kept most of the money he got to do this for himself.{{book ref|sa3|92}}
 
When hissome of the prisoners escaped, the noblemanKwati sent a message via [[spanreed]] to the [[Skybreakers]], asking them to killfind the criminals and kill them, since execution was the penalty for escape. The Skybreakers arrived in a few hours, and planned to use the situation as a test for their squires. Once they arrivearrived, heKwati complainscomplained that it took them too long.{{book ref|sa3|92}}

Szeth correctly surmised that Ki was already aware of Kwati's embezzlement. The Skybreakers had not acted sooner because technically Kwati had not committed a crime until the prison conditions became so bad that they motivated and enabled the the prisoners to escape. Deducing that Kwati was also guilty was part of the Skybreaker test; after Ki confirmed that Kwati was set to be executed, Szeth killed him using [[Nightblood]].{{book ref|sa3|92}} This completely destroyed Kwati's body, as well as his soul.{{book ref|sa3|92}}{{wob ref|3393}}
