History
Luesh joined the Davar household circa ? 1172, and he quickly became a confidant of Lin Davar.[4] Although he denied it, Luesh was presumably the person who gave Lin an illicit Soulcaster fabrial.[1] Luesh was trained to use the Soulcaster, and he and Lin worked with a surveyor to create artificial marble deposits on Davar land,[2] significantly improving the family's previously dire financial situation.[5] Lin was able to leverage the restored name of House Davar to gain political influence in the Valam princedom,[4] likely positioning himself to become highprince.[1]
After Lin's death, the Davar children found the Soulcaster, which had been broken in a scuffle.[6] The family tried to have the fabrial repaired, but Luesh could not make it function.[2] Desperate for money, Shallan soon devised a plan to steal Jasnah Kholin's Soulcaster.[1] After she set out on her journey, Balat and Eylita informed her that Luesh died in his sleep, and that a pendant with a distinctive symbol was found on his body.[1] Furthermore, a group of individuals visited the Davar estate—one of whom had a tattoo of the same symbol on his hand—professing knowledge of the Soulcaster and demanding that it be returned, intensifying the need for Shallan to steal Jasnah's fabrial.[1] Balat concluded that Luesh was a plant all along, and that he acted as a liaison between Lin and his mysterious backers.[1]
Shallan learned that Kabsal had the same symbol tattooed on his arm, implying that he and Luesh belonged to the same organization; Jasnah believed it to be named the Ghostbloods. Shallan worried that her father was also a member.[3] She later confirmed the existence of the Ghostbloods after meeting Mraize.[7]
