=== Return and Awakening Discoveries ===
Vasher was born on Nalthis,{{wob ref|2768}} but nothing is known about his natural life. Upon being returned, the [[Cult of the Returned]] named him
Vasher was a member of the Five Scholars. He worked with [[Shashara]] to create Nightblood, among other things. He married Shashara shortly before he slew her with Nightblood. He killed her in order to prevent the knowledge of its creation from being disseminated.▼

Historians were confused by his sudden change of heart. This led to the Hallandren calling Vasher Peacegiver. Eventually, this led to the belief that they were separate people. At the end of the Manywar, Vasher gave his store of Breaths (approximately fifty thousand) to the priests of Hallandren. It was passed down from God King to God King, all of whom had their tongues removed so that they wouldn't use the Breath. This was known as [[Peacegiver's Treasure]]. ▼
Much later, shortly before the events of Warbreaker, Arsteel attempted to disarm Vasher so as to talk sense into him to attempt to make him reconcile with Denth, Shashara's brother. Arsteel, however, was slain by Vasher in their duel for at first unknown reasons. As Arsteel was the superior swordsman, Vasher was forced to use a trick to win the fight. When, during the events of Warbreaker, he fought Denth, we learned how he defeated Arsteel: He passed on a small quantity of Breaths to Arsteel, and slew the other Scholar when the shock of receiving Breath stunned him. Vasher used the same tactic to kill [[Denth]].▼

▲Vasher, then known as Kalad, started an aggressive war between his kingdom, [[Hallandren]], and the kingdoms of Kuth and Huth. The exact details are unknown, although it was hinted that Vasher was the first to strike. He believed war was unavoidable and decided to attack before the others did instead of trying for peace. The war ended when Vasher, having seen the death caused by the war, used his own creations, [[Kalad's Phantoms]], to take control of Hallandren.

At the beginning of [[Warbreaker]], Vasher used a trick to get himself imprisoned in the God King's palace. He escaped his cell and killed [[Vahr]], in exchange for Vahr's Breath.{{book ref|wb|prologue}}
He later on rescued [[Vivenna]] and taught her to awaken. He helped Vivenna undo her work of trying to get the Idrians to start a war. Later on, he broke into the God King's palace and got trapped by [[Denth]]. He killed Denth and told the [[God King]] how to use Vasher's army to stop the army of [[Lifeless]] which the [[Pahn Kahl]] had sent to attack [[Idris]].
He then sets off to confront [[Yesteel]] who was attempting to restore [[Huth]] and [[Kuth]].{{book ref|wb|epilogue}}

Vasher later worldhops to [[Roshar]] (partly through walking and partly by some kind of vehicle {{wob ref|8168}}), where he is known as '''Zahel'''.{{wob ref|330}} He is a reclusive warrior [[ardent]] who teaches the [[House Kholin|Kholin]] princes and [[Kaladin]] how to sword fight. He uses exclamations and phrases involving colors, which generally confuses the Rosharans. His main purpose in returning to Roshar was to have easier access to the [[Investiture]] ([[Stormlight]]) that he needs in order to survive.{{wob ref|4553}}
=== Swordsmanship ===
Vasher is a very skilled swordsman, with three hundred years of practice along with his Returned speed and strength. Though he has admitted that he is not the best swordsman because his temper gets in the way, his ingenuity in combat gives him an edge. He also is open to using "cheap tricks" in combat, such as when he transferred Breaths to stun his opponent. A clear indicator of his sword-fighting prowess is that on Roshar he is a highly sought-after [[Alethi]] blademaster, having directly trained both of the Kholin children and [[Kaladin]] in the use of and defense against Shardblades. His familiarity with wielding Shardblades presumably was honed by using Nightblood, a very powerful Shardblade.
