Denth conspires with the [[Pahn Kahl]] rebels to overthrow the Hallandren government. Denth and his band infiltrate the [[Idrian]] spy network to kidnap [[Vivenna]]. Acting as mercenaries working for [[Lemex]] they befriend Vivenna after poisoning Lemex to make it look like he died of illness. Denth uses Vivenna to increase tensions between [[Hallandren]] and [[Idris]] to drive [[Hallandren]] to war. Later, after Vivenna is kidnapped by [[Vasher]], Denth and [[Tonk Fah]] torture and kill [[Parlin]], Vivenna's friend to try and discover where she has gone. When Vivenna escapes from Vasher and returns to the safe house, she uncovers the truth about Denth and [[Tonk Fah]]. In the ensuing confrontation, Denth is attacked by [[Clod]] on [[Vivenna]]'s command, and she escapes. Denth catches Vasher while he is attemping to rescue Vivenna's sister [[Siri]] who is living in the god king's palace. He has Vasher's sword [[Nightblood]] thrown in the water so it can cause no further harm, then has Vasher hung by his wrists in a room with no color in the god king's palace to interrogate him. After retrieving Nightblood, Vivenna assists in [[Vasher]]'s escape. Denth is killed by Vasher in a duel; Vasher stabs Denth after transferring what [[Breath]] he had left into Denth in order to stun him.

During the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]], Denth fights a duel with Vasher to prove that Vasher is not a better swordsman than [[Arsteel]], and to find out how he won. Denth's fight with Vasher reveals that Denth is the better swordsman, however Vasher is more cunning. Vasher gives his [[Breath]]s to Denth, effectively stunning him for a moment and Vasher runs him through with his dagger. As Denth dies, his hair flashes between colors, eventually falling to stark white. This reveals that Denth has the [[Royal Locks]], independent from being a [[Returned]].{{wob ref|4112}}

“I've tried going back. But the darkness... it's inside. I can't escape it. My laughter has an edge to it. I can't forget. ”

—Denth to Vasher [1]

Denth or VaraTreledees[2][3] is one of the Five Scholars from Nalthis.[4] He may also be a member of the royal line of Idris.

Appearance and Personality

Denth appears to be a man in his thirties. He dresses mostly in nondescript brown leather, but he keeps some color, such as his red vest. He has a long face and styled hair pulled back into a neat short ponytail.[5] He keeps himself well groomed and is clean-shaven.[6] His overall outlook is cynical, likely colored by his own frustration that he finds himself having to do things he feels bad about; he sees himself as a basically good person who has to do terrible things.[7] Denth is smooth-talking and intelligent and proves himself adept at manipulating people.[8]

Attributes and Abilities

Denth is a superb swordsman. He is so quick he can kill most people, even trained warriors, before they can react. Even accomplished fighters such as Vasher are clearly outmatched by him.[9][1] His reflexes are a product of being a Returned, which means he is also able to change his appearance at will.[10]

Denth is remarkably clever and understands Awakening on an advanced level, as one of the Five Scholars.[1] As a Returned, he could reach the Fifth Heightening if he so chose; as it is, he suppresses his divine Breath.[10] This heightening would grant him:

  • Aura Recognition - allows him to assess the number of Breaths a person possesses.
  • Perfect Pitch
  • Perfect Color Recognition - allows him to instantly and instinctively determine exact shades of colors and their hue harmonics.
  • Perfect Life Sense - allows him to sense people around him.
  • Agelessness - makes him immune to most toxins and physical ailments, as well as making him functionally immortal.

Denth is a consummate actor and manipulator, able to deceive Vivenna and the other Idrians for months into setting up a war for him.

He did 'not travel the Cosmere widely'.[11]

History

Some time after the Manywar, he took the name Denth and created a mercenary band with Tonk Fah, Jewels, and Arsteel. A couple of months prior to the events of the rebellion,[14] Arsteel encountered Vasher, who killed him. Denth took this opportunity to see how a dead Returned worked, knowing that Arsteel and his fighting expertise could continue to contribute to the crew as a Lifeless named Clod.[15]

Denth also spent time on the planet Roshar, though when and for what purpose remains unclear.[11]
