| When others look at something—a person—one may sometimes seem more beautiful than another. This is not so for me. I see only the colors. The rich, wondrous colors that make up all things and give them life.

▲'''Susebron''' is the [[God King]] of [[Hallandren]] on [[Nalthis]]
==Appearance & Personality==
As a Returned, Susebron looks much younger than he really is, which is around 50 years at the time of the events recorded in [[Warbreaker]].{{book ref|wb|36}} He is described as having dark hair, black eyes, and pale skin, though it is revealed later that he can learn to change his appearance at will.{{book ref|wb|58}}
He is naive, having grown up in a virtual prison imposed upon him by his priests. He is highly trustworthy of them, and refuses to believe that they may wish him harm.{{book ref|wb|29}} His main source of knowledge about morality is a book of stories that once belonged to his [[Susebron's mother|mother]], the morals of which he follows from memory.{{book ref|wb|24}} Later, he begins to figure some things out for himself, though he continues to hold to the book's rules, making him honest to a fault.{{book ref|wb|29}} He's highly devoted to the people he trusts, including [[Siri]] and the priests, and refuses to abandon either of them. Nonetheless, he can be realistic in his asessment of others and is keenly aware of his own shortcomings as a ruler.{{book ref|wb|36}}{{book ref|wb|58}}
He's very fond of sweets, and justifies eating a lot of them by saying that as a Returned, he can't gain any weight.{{book ref|wb|44}}
== History ==
Susebron was an infant [[Returned]] fifty years before the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]]. At the time of his Return, the [[God King]] was unable to produce a child, and so the infant Susebron was given [[Peacegiver's Treasure]] and made the new God King after his predecessor's retirement.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=44}} At some point either before or after his crowning, his tongue was removed so that he would be unable to use the wealth of Breaths that had been bestowed on him.{{book ref|wb|40}} He was separated from his mother, though he managed to retain a storybook she used to read him. He had heard the stories so many times and looked at it over the years that he had memorized each symbol, and the morals of the stories in the book were in part the code by which he lived.{{annotation ref|Warbreaker|chapter=24}}▼
=== Childhood and Early Life ===
▲Susebron was an infant [[Returned]] fifty years before the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]]. At the time of his Return, the [[God King]] was unable to produce a child, and so the infant Susebron was given [[Peacegiver's Treasure]] and made the new God King after his predecessor
Throughout most of his life, Susebron resided mostly alone in the black palace of the God Kings in [[T'Telir]]. Despite being the official ruler of Hallandren, he was kept away from its people and other Returned, only coming out briefly on special occasions, to hide the fact that he was mute.{{book ref|wb|40}} At the time, he had not been taught to [[Awakening|Awaken]] with a thought.
=== Marriage to Siri ===
To forestall a war between [[Idris]] and Hallandren, Susebron was promised the hand of king [[Dedelin]]'s daughter, [[Vivenna]]. At the last moment, however, she was swapped for her sister, [[Sisirinah]], and Susebron ended up marrying Siri.{{book ref|wb|4}} For a long time, Susebron and Siri met only at night, as the priests wanted them to make a child, but neither acted, as Siri was awaiting Susebron's first move, while Susebron had no idea what was expected of him.{{book ref|wb|24}} Initially, he feared Siri, uncertain as to why she spent her nights waiting, naked, on his floor. After she began to perform her moaning and screaming routine for the priests, he approached her with a book, hoping to start some communication.{{book ref|wb|20}}
Siri taught Susebron to read and write using his mother's storybook and they started to converse, him writing on a board, and her speaking. Siri taught Susebron to read using the story book of his mother.{{book ref|wb|20}} As he and Siri planned how to reveal to the other gods that had no tongue, the two began to fall in love. He would spend long hours with her, learning about things like sarcasm and mockery, and about places such as Idris, and Siri's life growing.{{book ref|wb|24}} During one of those conversations, Susebron expressed an interest in meeting [[Austre]].{{book ref|wb|29}} Eventually, he and Siri consummated their marriage.{{book ref|wb|44}}
=== The Pahn Kahl Rebellion ===
The latter found himself in a cell next to [[Lightsong]], who sacrificed his own divine [[BioChromatic Breath|Beath]] to heal him, restoring his tongue.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
A third effect of the 10th Heightening is Color Distortion. Wherever Susebron goes, white objects in his their vicinity break up their colors like a prism, creating further colors. To show this off, he's usually dressed in white for public functions, although he wears black in private, as it is a more powerful color from Awakening standpoint.{{annotation ref|Warbreaker|chapter=20}}
The Peacegiver's Treasure makes Susebron effectively immortal, and even if he were to suddenly be cut off from his weekly supply, he could still live for over nine hundred years feeding off it.{{book ref|wb|48}} This amount of Breath might also make him immune to emotional allomancy.{{wob ref|11830}} In addition, as the God-King, he's capable of using his divine Breath to heal multiple people instead of just one.{{book ref|wb|24}} Whether this is because he was Returned young or some side-effect of holding Peacegiver's Treasure is uncertain.
Though little has been shown of Susebron's Awakening abilities, he is naturally extremely powerful by the virtue of the sheer number of Breaths he possesses. Shortly after regaining his tongue, he's capable of controlling hundreds of individual Awakened objects simultaneously.{{book ref|wb|58}}
Though he is a king, it's uncertain how much in the way of political skill he has, as until very recently, he's been little more than a figurehead of the priesthood.{{book ref|wb|20}}

| There is nothing so wonderful as you, even in my entire court. The mountains must be special indeed, to produce such beauty.

| All of those stories are just tales told by people who lived lives before ours. What they say about humankind is true. I have watched and seen how people act. It is strange, for me, to interpret these things, for I do not see as normal men do. I am the God King. Everything, to my eyes, has the same beauty.
