== Appearance and Personality ==
=== Appearance ===
Nightblood takes the form of a five-foot-long black sword.{{book ref|wb|50}} Nightblood's blade itself is a deep black color,{{book ref|wb|prologue}} although it was not that color before it was Awakened. It is often kept in a silver sheath{{book ref|wb|prologue}} made of [[aluminum]],{{wob ref|date=2017-11-13|8162|Oathbringer release party}} which may be attached to the sword with a clasp.{{book ref|wb|prologue}}
=== Personality ===
As a construct, Nightblood has a personality and perspective that often seems alien to his human companions. Nightblood's personality is based upon the Command given to him by Vasher and Shashara when he was forged, "Destroy Evil". However, he has no concept of intangible ideas, such as love, hope, or evil. This makes it difficult for Nightblood to truly follow his Command, although he does his best to do so.
Interestingly enough, Nightblood does not really seem to have a gender. While he is most commonly referred to as having a masculine voice, some such as Lift have heard his voice as feminine. Vasher made the initial decision to refer to Nightblood with masculine pronouns.{{wob ref|date=2015-03-13|3372|/r/books AMA 2015}} Nightblood himself finds the concept of gender to be fascinating and tries to understand it, even though he does not truly have one himself.
== History ==
=== Creation ===
Vasher and Nightblood continued to try to counteract Denth's attempts to trigger a second Manywar. Vasher killed several of Denth's hirelings in the [[D'Denir Garden]] with Nightblood.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=29}} When Denth, and Vivenna examined the corpses, Vasher and Nightblood watched them. Nightblood recognized Denth and wanted to go say hello to him, but Vasher explained yet again that they could not go see Denth.{{book ref|wb|29}} Soon afterwards, Vasher decided to kidnap Vivenna to further disrupt Denth's plans.{{book ref|wb|33}} He brought Nightblood to Denth's house and broke in through Vivenna's balcony, knocking her out with Awakened drapes. When Vivenna came to in Vasher's house, he unclasped Nightblood's sheath and forced her to draw it.{{book ref|wb|35}} Vivenna fought through the powerful nausea she felt and managed to draw the sword and hear Nightblood's voice before vomiting. Afterwards Vasher tied Vivenna up and left with Nightblood on some errand to counteract Denth. Vivenna escaped from her bonds using Awakening.
'''
After Vivenna returned to Denth's safehouse, she discovered that Denth had been attempting to trigger the war rather than prevent it and fled to the streets.{{cite}} Weeks later, Vasher and Nightblood managed to find her just as a group of thugs was capturing her for the bounty Denth had placed on her head.{{book ref|wb|41}} Vasher threw Nightblood among the thugs, and they killed themselves with him. Vasher recovered Nightblood and carried an unconscious Vivenna to his safe house in order to keep her out of Denth's hands.
