== Appearance and Personality ==
Ruthar is brawny and blue-eyed with a short black beard around his mouth.{{book ref|sa1|18}}{{book ref|sa2|38}} His dark slicked hair and burly arms give him an oily look.{{book ref|sa2|38}} Despite his high political and military rank, he dresses very informally.{{book ref|sa3|46}}

Jasnah, aware of Ruthar's continuing hostility, carefully laid out a trap for him so he would disgrace himself.
