“Era Sinverdad. Me limitaba a obedecer órdenes. Dime, ¿crees que eso absuelve a un hombre? ”

—Szeth a Taravangian[2]

Szeth-hijo-Honor, antes Szeth-hijo-hijo-Vallano o Szeth-hijo-Neturo, Sinverdad de Shinovar, es un Shin de Roshar. Él es el infame Asesino de Blanco y es el responsable de la muerte de Gavilar Kholin, lo que dio comienzo a la Guerra de la Venganza.[3] Al ser el Asesino, lleva la hoja de Honor de Jezrien; aunque con el tiempo la perdió y recibió como regalo a Sangre Nocturna.[4]

Szeth es actualmente un Rompedor del Cielo del Tercer ldeal y sirve a Dalinar Kholin. Pretende volver a Shinovar para dar justicia a quienes lo exiliaron como misión para su Cuarto Ideal de los Rompedores del Cielo.[5]

Apariencia y Personalidad

Apariencia

Para más imágenes, ver /Galería.

Szeth tenía unos treinta y cinco años al comienzo de la Auténtica Desolación. Como todos los Shin, es bajito, de piel clara, con grandes y redondos ojos, y carece del pliegue epicántico que la mayoría de personas en Roshar tienen. Normalmente, sus ojos son de un verde oscuro pero cuando invoca la hoja de Honor de Jezrien le cambian a un tono zafiro claro.[1][6] Se afeita la cabeza a menudo, comentando en una ocasión que no le crece el pelo por toda la cabeza.[7]

Como el Asesino, Szeth siempre viste de blanco. En un principio esto venía de las tradiciones de los oyentes, y Taravangian le hizo seguir con el atuendo a modo de símbolo.[3][8] Aún después de haber dejado de seguir su Piedra Jurada viste de blanco.[9] Tras su muerte y posterior resurrección, su alma no está correctamente ligada a su cuerpo, dejando tras de sí una imagen fantasmal de su persona que puede ser vista por aquellos con suficiente Investidura, como Lift o los Rompedores del Cielo.[10][7][11]

Personalidad

“En lo que no soy bueno es en ser una persona. Es… un defecto que tengo. ”

—Szeth[12]

Szeth está firmemente ligado a Honor, y es leal hasta el punto en el que hará cualquier cosa que le pida su amo, incluyendo mutilarse a sí mismo. Sin embargo, como Sinverdad tiene prohibido quitarse su propia vida o dar su espada. Aunque está cualificado para el asesinato, no desea ser un asesino, enfrentándose a una confusión interna cada vez que quita una vida. Escucha los gritos de sus víctimas cuando cierra los ojos, consiguiendo que la aversión que se tiene a sí mismo con el tiempo le lleve a la locura. Su resurrección no le ayudó, ya que sigue escuchando los susurros de aquellos a quien ha matado, que Nale cree que son temblores del Reino Espiritual, que le sirven como constante recordatorio de sus crímenes.[7]

Como Rompedor del Cielo, Szeth desarrolla su desconfianza hacia sus superiores, comienza a cuestionar órdenes e incluso discute con los que se encuentran por encima de él si piensa que están equivocados.[10] Poco a poco aprende a tomar sus propias decisiones, aunque parece que sigue buscando a alguien a quien seguir, como demuestra su recién descubierta dedicación por Dalinar.[13] Su altospren cree que necesita aprende a confiar más en sí mismo en lugar de en Dalinar.[14] Es extremadamente serio, y a menos que esté muy inquieto, es muy respetuoso con los demás. También parece insensible a las bromas o el sarcasmo, a menudo encontrando lo que dicen otros muy profundo, incluso cuando no tiene sentido o es una tontería.[12]

Atributos y Habilidades

Szeth es un luchador excepcionalmente habilidoso; cuando se le ordena luchar, se convierte en una máquina de matar casi imparable. Es un experto espadachín, así como un gran artista marcial del kammar. Combina estas habilidades con sus habilidades como potenciador para tener un efecto letal.[8] En combate singular puede defenderse, e incluso derrotar, a un maestro espadachín.[15] Cuando ataca no le teme a nada, ni siquiera a portadores de armadura esquirlada y hoja esquirlada, confiando ciegamente en su agilidad aumentada por la luz tormentosa para sacarlo de la batalla ileso.[3] También ha demostrado ser muy astuto, un hombre de recursos y con determinación, habilidades que le son de ayuda en el combate y fuera de él.[16]

Potenciación

“Szeth de los Rompedores del Cielo, por suerte, había entrenado con las diez potencias. ”

—Szeth[12]

Szeth sabe como usar todas las potencias, habiéndolas practicado con las ocho hojas de Honor de los shin.[12] Cuando a su familia le entregaron las hojas de honor, [14] él fue el portador de la hoja de honor de Jezrien, garantizándole los poderes de un Corredor del Viento y con ello las potencias de Gravitación y Adhesión.[17] Con los años, se ha convertido en un maestro con ellas, controlando con facilidad los tres enlaces. Sin embargo, no está acostumbrado a luchar contra otros Corredores del Viento, equilibrando la batalla cuando su oponente también puede luchar en los cielos.[15]

Su entrenamiento también incluyó información básica sobre las diez órdenes de radiantes; Szeth está familiarizado con sus nombres, poderes, y capacidades, así como estrategias para contrarrestarlos.[12] Este entrenamiento también le dio todo un surtido de otras habilidades, no tan sobrenaturales, como patinar sobre hielo.[12]

En la actualidad, Szeth ya no tiene la hoja de honor de Jezrien, y se ha convertido en un Rompedor del Cielo del Tercer Ideal. Esto le da acceso a las potencias de Gravitación y División. Aunque ya tiene una vasta formación con la primera, todavía no ha utilizado la segunda, aunque ya tiene acceso a ella.[5] Pese a que tiene vinculado un spren y a estas alturas debería de ser capaz de invocar una hoja esquirlada, todavía no lo ha hecho, su spren apenas se deja ver por Szeth.[5][14] Conseguirá su armadura esquirlada una vez complete su misión del Cuarto Ideal.[14]

Sangre Nocturna

Para más información, ver Sangre Nocturna.

Después de perder la hoja de honor de Jezrien, Szeth recibió a Sangre Nocturna de parte de Nale.[4] Aunque no pueda descartar a Sangre Nocturna como una hoja esquirlada común, es incluso más peligroso con ella. La falta de aliento hace que la tenga que nutrir de luz tormentosa para sobrevivir a su uso, lo que significa que no puede utilizarla muy a menudo.[16]

Al contrario que otras hojas esquirladas, Sangre Nocturna es capaz de eliminar a los fusionados de la existencia, evitando que resurrezcan en la siguiente tormenta eterna.[18][19] Otras capacidades únicas incluyen: haber hecho una muesca en una hoja de Honor, hacer que una perpendicularidad colapse y destruir las Conexiones hechas por un Forjador de Vínculos.[20]

Historia

Juventud (1138 - 1166)

“Una vez escuché una voz como la tuya, espada-nimi. [...] Una sola voz en mi mente, de joven. Espero que esta vez las cosas vayan mejor. ”

En su juventud, Szeth era un miembro muy querido por la sociedad shin.[22] Llevaba agua y hacía otras tareas en la granja de ovejas de su padre, Neturo-hijo-Vallano. He lived near the coast, and his sister and mother still live in the area.[14] At some point, his family was given to the Honorblades,[14] and he started his training with them, familiarizing himself with all ten of the Surges. Among others, the training included ice-skating exercises to mimic Abrasion.[16][12] At some point, however, he began hearing a voice in his head, possibly that of a spren.[21] Perhaps as a result of this, he began saying that the Voidbringers were returning to Roshar.[23] The Shin leaders, however, told him that his claims were false and, at the age of 27, named him Truthless.[24] By this point, he was already the bearer of Jezrien's Honorblade.[25][26]

After being made a slave and given an Oathstone, Szeth was traded to the Thaylen merchant Vstim.[27] From then on, whoever owned his Oathstone owned Szeth, and Szeth was obliged by his honor to do as the owner commanded; with the exception of killing himself or giving up the Honorblade.[1] Just after being exiled from Shinovar, Szeth visited Urithiru for the first time.[24]

Assassin in White (1166 - 1173)

por ThomasW
Facing off against Gavilar Kholin

“I am Truthless. I do as my master requires and I require no explanation.”

—Szeth, regarding his oath.[28]

Killing King Gavilar

Para más información, ver Assassination of Gavilar.

Two years after his banishment, Szeth was purchased by an assassin named Liss.[29] She believed that Szeth was the best servant she ever had and told Jasnah that she wanted to show him off to her. However, she later found that Szeth was too good of a servant, so she sold him to slavers in Kholinar. A few weeks later, Szeth was purchased by Klade, a member of the listener ruling council.[30] Klade knew of him from Venli, who in turn learned of him from Nale.[31] When Klade pressured him, Szeth told him about his Shardblade and the abilities it brought.[30] As a result, the Five ordered him to murder king Gavilar Kholin of Alethkar during the treaty-signing celebration. They stipulated that the killing had to be done with live witnesses, and while wearing white.[3]

As Szeth attacked, he was fooled into believing Gavilar was a bodyguard, and decided to chase after the escaping target, instead of fighting a protracted battle. However, soon after he realized the "target" was simply a decoy, since Gavilar would be much safer fighting with his own Shardblade and Plate instead of fleeing for his life. Doubling back, Szeth returned to kill Gavilar, and a fierce battle commenced. Gavilar almost succeeded in killing Szeth with a Shardplate-enhanced punch, but ultimately failed and fell to his death onto a piece of wooden debris, which impaled him in an area where the Shardplate had been broken.[3]

Before dying, Gavilar had two last requests: to tell his brother to "find the most important words a man could say," and to protect a mysterious black sphere that shone dark light. Szeth honored both requests, scrawling a message to Dalinar into the wood with Gavilar's own hand and blood.[3] Eventually he also hid away the black orb somewhere in Jah Keved.[1]

His clothes on the night of the killing led to the general public dubbing him the Assassin in White.[32]

Laying Low

After Gavilar's death, the listeners threw away Szeth's Oathstone as they fled Kholinar. Since the Alethi believed that Szeth had fled with the Parshendi, they did not attempt to track him down and instead initiated the Vengeance Pact, waging war on the Shattered Plains. Meanwhile the stone, and as a result Szeth, was eventually picked up by Avado, a travelling merchant.[1]

Avado took Szeth with him to Jah Keved in fear of possible Alethi retribution against strange foreigners in the wake of their king's assassination. He did not keep his slave for long, however; over the course of the next five years, the Oathstone changed possession many times before landing in the hands of Took, a transient worker. Took was robbed and killed after a night of drinking in Ironsway, a town in the Bavland, and Szeth's Oathstone is taken by Makkek, a small-time criminal.[1] With Szeth under his control, Makkek set out to gain wealth, first by killing his fellow robbers and then by establishing a gambling den in Bornwater.[33]

On one of Makkek's missions, this time to eliminate a rival who had opened his own gambling place, Szeth infiltrated the local lord's mansion where his target, Gavashaw, resided. After entering Gavashaw's rooms, he met a mysterious stranger who knew of Szeth and his role in Gavilar's death, as well as his powers. After a short confrontation, the man revealed that both Makek and Gavashaw had been killed, and that Szeth's Oathstone was now in the hands of a new master. Thus, Szeth began to unwittingly serve the Diagram.[33]

Taravangian's Killer

por Marie Seeberger
First attempt to assassinate Dalinar, foiled by Kaladin

Szeth's new master gave him a list of high-ranking targets, all of whom were to be eliminated with the flashy display of skill seen over five years ago in Kholinar. Szeth carved a bloody path across the continent, slaying, among many others, two Azish Primes.[34] His second-to-last kill was King Hanavanar of Jah Keved, whom he killed along with his two Shardbearer guards and many others who were present.[8] This led directly to the Veden civil war.[23]

King Taravangian, the last name on Szeth's hit list, turned out to be his secret employer. When Szeth arrived in Kharbranth, Taravangian revealed a portion of his schemes, showcasing his "hospitals" in which people were slowly killed in order to draw out Death Rattles.[35] Upon showing this to Szeth, he ordered him to kill Dalinar Kholin.

During a highstorm, Szeth attacked King Elhokar's palace on the Shattered Plains, entering it through a hole cut in the wall with his Blade. On his way, he killed Beld and cut through Hobber's midriff, crippling him, then proceeded to fight against Adolin, Kaladin, and Dalinar, all of whom believed he was there to assassinate Elhokar. Szeth quickly gained the upper hand, lashing Adolin to the ceiling and cutting through Kaladin's arm. However, he ultimately failed, as Kaladin managed to push him through his entryway. The two of them fell to the ground, both surviving. Szeth panicked when he saw Kaladin healing his arm, and when Kaladin told him that he was a Windrunner, Szeth fled.[36][37]

After his confrontation with Kaladin, Szeth retreated to the top of Urithiru, shaken by Kaladin's words and wondering if he was wrong the entire time. Ultimately, he decided to confront Taravangian about the matter.[24] He found the king in Vedenar, and, control almost gone, demanded to know if the Knights Radiant were returning. Taravangian managed to appease him by claiming that an Honorblade with Regrowth has been stolen. Having heard that, Szeth departed, vowing to kill Kaladin; however, Taravangian forbade him to approach Kaladin, demanding that Szeth kill only Dalinar.[23]

Death and Resurrection

“What I am owed will come to me eventually! Every bit of it. I will drown in it, stonewalker! ”

—Szeth to Dalinar[15]

Szeth attacked Dalinar during the climax of the Battle of Narak. Dalinar was able to temporarily hold his own before being lashed to the sky, to eventually fall to his death after the Stormlight sustaining the lashing ran out. However, before that could happen, Kaladin, having recently sworn the Third Ideal of the Windrunners, swooped in and caught him, then safely returned him to the ground. Kaladin and Szeth then battled above the colliding highstorm and Everstorm. During the battle Szeth came to the realization that Kaladin was truly a Radiant, and so Szeth himself was never Truthless. Unable to accept his actions, Szeth unbonded his Honorblade and fell through the highstorm to his death.[15][4]

Moments after his death, Szeth was revived by Nale, who used a fabrial to heal his body before his spirit departed [7]. Though Szeth was initially outraged at being returned to life, Nale promised to give him a new purpose and gifted him with Nightblood.[4]

Skybreaker Trainee (1173 - 1174)

Yeddaw

After gifting him with Nightblood, Nale inducted Szeth into the Skybreakers, and took him to Yeddaw in order to find a potential Radiant. Throughout this time, Szeth attempted to convince Nale of the upcoming True Desolation, but was unable to get through to him.[10]

During his time there, he met Lift in the city's Grand Indicium. He confronted her and drew Nightblood to test her, but left when Nightblood's power found her innocent.[38] Later, he encountered her again, chasing after him and the other Skybreakers. He stopped to inform her that she could not possibly get there before they did, but also shared the identity of the person they were seeking.[39]

After the Everstorm passed over Yeddaw, Nale departed in a hurry, leaving Szeth stranded in Yeddaw. He was picked up by the Herald after a few weeks and taken to join the other Skybreakers. There, master Ki informed him that his mission with Nale was his first task, and that after being evaluated, he was found worthy of the First Ideal. This, however, was not enough for him to draw Stormlight, as Skybreaker trainees can only do so after attaining the Second.[7]

Szeth at the Purelake

Second Ideal

After swearing the First Ideal, Szeth was taken to the Purelake along with other Skybreaker hopefuls and squires to complete the next test. The challenge was based on a message sent via spanreed by the city's minister, who told them there was a breakout of convicts. The request was to find the guilty and execute them. While most of the squires and hopefuls started immediately to find and execute the convicts, Szeth stayed and questioned their motives, learning more about the local law.[21]

He was able to find and fight one. He found that the convict had a knife, but was thin, dirty and emaciated. Upon questioning him, Szeth also learned that the prison fort had only one guard. Once back, he saw other convicts, confirming that they had all been poorly fed and under a strict regime, leading him to the realization that the prison itself was improperly run. When he confirmed with Ki that the prison administrator was also on the list of the guilty, Szeth drew Nightblood and killed the man. This allowed him to swear the Second Ideal, letting him draw Stormlight. Impressed, Ki chose him as her squire.[21]

“I swear to seek justice, to let it guide me, until I find a more perfect Ideal. ”

—The Second Ideal of the Skybreakers, as sworn by Szeth[21]

Learning the Truth

The next test was based on the newly acquired ability to Lash by the Skybreaker hopefuls. It involved Lashing oneself through the air and throwing pouches of colored powder at other competitors -- the one with the least spots of color on their outfit would win the game. Szeth originally held the lead, but when the rest of the group realised he would win, he was surrounded and pummeled with pouches. Shortly after, his Stormlight ran out and he fell into the Purelake. Nonetheless, he managed to win, as the water washed away the colors.[16]

Frustrated with the slow progress, Szeth intended to swear his next ideal there and then, but at this point Nale arrived. The Herald took Szeth and the other full Skybreakers to Marat, where he showed them a village destroyed by the Voidbringers before telling them all the truth about the world. Afterwards, Nale declared his intentions: to side with the singers, the original inhabitants of Roshar, and oppose humanity.[40]

Initially, Szeth believed he had no choice other than to follow Nale, but in a conversation Nightblood about the topic, he changed his mind, realizing that there was always a choice.[41] He decided to swear himself into service of Dalinar, and joined the Battle of Thaylen Field.[18]

Szeth killing a thunderclast

Serving Dalinar Kholin (1174 - Present)

Battle of Thaylen Field

Szeth arrived on the field just in time to drop down and slay a thunderclast. After landing, he met Lift, who let him know that Dalinar asked her to recover the King's Drop, a perfect gemstone. Acknowledging this as Dalinar's will, Szeth joined her in the hunt.[18] Things initially went poorly, especially when Szeth lost Nightblood's sheath to one of the Fused, causing the sword to go out of control and begin devouring him, despite Lift's attempts to help.[42]

Fortunately, it was then that Dalinar managed to open Honor's Perpendicularity, infusing the city with enough Stormlight to slake Nightblood's thirst. Szeth managed to resheathe the blade, and met with Dalinar. After managing to convince the Alethi of his new loyalty, he returned to his search for King's Drop with Lift.[13] Together, the two managed to trick the Fused carrying it into letting it go and grabbing a Lightwoven fake, with Lift bringing the real King's Drop to Dalinar, who then used it to trap Nergaoul.[12]

Aftermath of the Battle

After the battle, Szeth met with Nale, who warned him about following a man instead of a law, but supported the decision overall. The Herald made to depart, promising to return later and teach Szeth about the Surge of Division. Before he left, Szeth swore his Third Oath. He also made it clear that for his Fourth, the Ideal of Crusade, he intended to travel to Shinovar and cleanse it of the false leaders who made him the Truthless in the first place.[5]

“I swear to follow the will of Dalinar Kholin. This is my oath. ”

—The Third Ideal of the Skybreakers, as sworn by Szeth[5]

“I will cleanse the Shin of their false leaders, so long as Dalinar Kholin agrees. ”

—The Fourth Ideal of the Skybreakers, as sworn by Szeth[5]

Afterwards, Szeth became Dalinar’s bodyguard, despite the apprehension of other Alethi.[43]

Imprisonment in Urithiru

Szeth only served as Dalinar's bodyguard for a short time, due to his unstable nature and the uncertainty of people close to Dalinar, notably Navani. He was put in a makeshift prison cell on the upper floors of Urithiru, and was given food, fresh clothing (white, as he specified), and plenty of spheres for light (presumably to banish the voices in his head). After several people got annoyed, he requested that Nightblood stop speaking to anyone but him. During his imprisonment, Navani interviewed him a number of times, asking him about her husband Gavilar's death. During one of these interview sessions, Navani learned of the black sphere, and Szeth was temporarily released to go get it.[9]

Guarding Dalinar on the Emuli Front

“I decide now. I finally decide. Me. No one else compelling me. Taravangian, know that in killing you, I make it my choice.”

—Szeth, immediately before attempting to kill Taravangian[2]

When Dalinar went to Emul, Szeth and Nightblood accompanied him, wearing Lightwoven disguises.[44] He accompanied Dalinar on and off the battlefield,[45][46][47] with the exception of when Dalinar went to speak with Renarin.[48]

por Nozomi
Killing Taravangian

While protecting Dalinar, he is disarmed by Nale, his former master and clearly his better in combat. Dalinar escapes Nale's attack unscathed.[45] In an unusual deviation from his typical silent stoicism, Szeth offers Dalinar advice on Taravangian, saying that the aged king was not to be trusted.[47] While watching Dalinar and little Gavinor, Szeth's highspren told him he must soon complete his Fourth Ideal.[14]

Taravangian had deduced earlier that Szeth must be in Emul[49] and had seen through his Lightwoven disguise.[47] Taravangian requested a stone matching the description of Szeth's Oathstone in order to get Szeth to confront him.[14] Unfortunately, this confrontation happened on a day when Taravangian was dumb and compassionate, and therefore unable to manipulate Szeth. His pleas for Szeth to give Nightblood to Dalinar for use on Rayse during a vision were ignored.[50]

Szeth attended Dalinar's planning session in which he planned to confront Ishar. Szeth was surprised by the Herald's marked similarity to modern-day Shin.[51] Later, he handed Dalinar the original copy of Oathbringer as they prepared to confront Ishar.[52] Szeth then flew with the strike team to meet Ishar. At first, he stayed back. When Ishar summoned his Honorblade, which was previously held by Neturo-son-Vallano, Szeth's father, Szeth was shaken and collapsed. Just as Ishar was about to take Dalinar's bond to the Stormfather, Szeth stepped in and used Nightblood to slash the Connection. He then collapsed the perpendicularity, and, raging at Ishar, struck the Honorblade with Nightblood, leaving a chip in the Honorblade.[20]

Szeth then went to Taravangian's makeshift prison, intending to kill him. An incredibly dumb and emotional Taravangian was unable to stop him, but fortunately was pulled into a vision by Odium right as Szeth was stabbing him with an ordinary knife. Taravangian used the slowing of time to grab Nightblood and stab Rayse, killing him. Taravangian then Ascended to Odium.[2] Szeth re-sheathed Nightblood, and, mistaking Rayse's corpse for Taravangian's and thinking the deed done, left. He confessed to the murder of Taravangian, supposing him to have somehow drawn Nightblood and been consumed by it.[53]

He intended to next travel to Shinovar to complete his Fourth Ideal.[20]

Relationships

Nightblood

“I'm sure you can spot [evil]. You seem smart. If increasingly kind of boring. ”

—Nightblood to Szeth[21]

Szeth acquires Nightblood from Nale after his death and resurrection.[4] He does not react with either bloodlust or nausea, perhaps indicating that Nightblood's test of character failed to affect him. He does not know its name, referring to it with the honorific "sword-nimi" instead. Nightblood is sentient and can communicate with Szeth telepathically. The two often have conversations, and throughout them, Nightblood has learned a fair deal about Szeth's past, including what might've been an attempt at bonding a spren. In turn, the sword has no sense of time and casually speaks of his creators and wielders, such as Vivenna, Shashara, and Vasher, even though Szeth has no idea who they are.[21] However, Szeth often finds Nightblood's words to be helpful and profound, and when the Battle of Thaylen Field comes, it's Nightblood that helps him decide which side to take.[54]

Szeth is warned not to draw Nightblood from its sheath except in case of extreme emergency and only if he carries a great deal of Stormlight, as the sword is extremely dangerous and can feed upon souls.[7] Occasionally, he will draw it partially to see how other people react to it, as Nightblood causes "good" people to feel sudden nausea.[38]

Szeth has only fully drawn the sword thrice, during the Skybreaker test at the Purelake[21], at the Battle of Thaylen Field,[42] and to strike at the Herald Ishar.[20] In each case, the sword single-mindedly begins screaming into Szeth's mind while quickly consuming any available Stormlight and causing him extreme pain.[13] However, Nightblood insists that it wouldn't deliberately attack Szeth, as it doesn't consider him to be evil.[21][14]

Bonded Highspren

When Szeth's highspren chooses to show itself to him, he kneels to it and moves away from Nightblood. He is reverential to it, indeed, the two have a relationship that resembles master-student much more than the close kinship of other Radiant bonds. The highspren has not yet chosen to tell Szeth its name, but Szeth does not mind. Szeth describes the highspren as always judging his worthiness.[14]

Trivia

Continuity Change

Szeth's death was subject to a continuity change. In the original hardcover edition of Words of Radiance, Szeth was killed by Kaladin driving Syl as a Shardblade into his chest, severing his spine. Brandon felt this was out of character for Kaladin, and changed the text with the release of the paperback edition of the book. Szeth's death now occurred when he unbonded his Blade and fell through the Highstorm.[55]

Other

  • Brandon wrote Szeth's scenes in The Way of Kings while listening to Daft Punk.[56]
  • Brandon considers Nightblood and Szeth to be one of the more terrifying pairings in the cosmere.[57]
  • In The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance, every chapter written exclusively from Szeth's point of view begins with the phrase "Szeth-son-son-Vallano, Truthless of Shinovar..." In Oathbringer, the phrase is dropped for "Szeth of Shinovar" and then "Szeth of the Skybreakers". In Rhythm of War, this is changed to "Szeth-son-Honor".
