Vasher es un hombre alto[1] que tiene problemas para expresarse. Deja que su ira oculte lo mejor de él y es brusco.[4] La memoria de Vasher tiene unas cuantas lagunas.[5] Suele ser un cascarrabias.[6]

Durante la mayoría de la rebelión de Pahn Kahl tiene un aspecto andrajoso. Viste con ropas marrones y harapientas, desgarradas en varios sitios y unos pantalones sueltos atados en la cintura con una simple cuerda. Su vello facial está a medio camino entre la barba y el descuido. Lleva el pelo despeinado y largo hasta los hombros.[7]

Como Retornado, puede cambiar su apariencia a voluntad.[8] Cuando quiere mostrar su forma de Retornado a Susebron, por ejemplo, se vuelve más alto, musculoso y bien afeitado, su pelo se vuelve de color dorado y muestra un aura que hace más brillantes los colores.[9]

En Roshar también aparece con el pelo largo y lleva una barba negra corta pero desaliñada. Viste ropas pardas y anchas atadas con cuerdas, con una constitución robusta y una cicatriz en la mejilla. Sus ojos "parecen viejos", pero su piel no se ve lo bastante arrugada como para encajar con ellos. Tiene una voz grave y áspera.[10] Se convierte en maestro espadachín y se une a los fervorosos, aunque sabe que no se le da bien ese segundo trabajo.[11] Usa exclamaciones y expresiones que hacen referencia a colores, lo que a menudo confunde a los rosharianos.[12]

Atributos y Habilidades

Retornado

Para más información, ver Retornado.

Como Retornado, Vasher posee un Aliento Divino, lo que lo coloca automáticamente en la Quinta Elevación.[13] Sin embargo, con los años ha aprendido a ceder todos sus alientos excepto el Aliento Divino que lo mantiene con vida. Mientras mantenga este Aliento (el cual ha aprendido a contener y ocultar), puede seguir vivo.[14]

En Roshar usa luz tormentosa para mantenerse con vida. Aunque no puede utilizarla para Despertar,[15] aún puede sentir a la gente.[12] Puede obtener Investidura de las Altas tormentas,[16] pero no tiene acceso a la potenciación.[17] El método que utiliza se basa en el hueco dejado en su red espiritual por su Aliento Divino.[18]

Despertar

Para más información, ver Despertar.

Vasher conoce mucha información importante, y se las arregla con aquello que no entiende.[19] Puede emitir sin problemas tres Órdenes en un despertar, lo cual es una tarea complicada para algunos despertantes.[20]

Vasher también desarrolló innovaciones en el uso de los alientos. Creó los Fantasmas de Kalad, un ejército casi imparable de soldados de piedra sinvida. También es uno de los dos despertantes conocidos que crearon objetos inanimados sentientes, habiendo creado a Sangre Nocturna.

por Matthew Johnson
Empuñando a Sangre Nocturna

Además de su aspecto académico, es extraordinariamente competente utilizando sus habilidades de despertar en combate. Únicamente usando ropa y sus destrezas como despertante, es capaz de derrotar a Kaladin sin demasiado esfuerzo, el cual estaba blandiendo una hoja esquirlada viva.[21]

No ha descubierto como despertar usando luz tormentosa[15].[15]

Espadachín

“You think like Vasher. Do you know Vasher? He teaches swords to people now, which is funny because VaraTreledees always says Vasher isn't any good with the sword. ”

—Nightblood to Szeth[22]

Vasher es un espadachín muy hábil, con trescientos años de práctica unidos a su velocidad y fuerza de retornado. Podría vencer a cualquier persona viva en un duelo de espadas justo.[23] Aunque ha admitido que no es el mejor espadachín porque su temperamento se lo impide, su ingenio en combate le da cierta ventaja. Denth afirma que Vasher no es un duelista, aunque probablemente sea en comparación a los otros Cinco Sabios, cuya habilidad en combate está a años luz del resto de mortales.{book ref|wb|29}} También está dispuesto a usar "trucos baratos" en combate, como transferir sus alientos para aturdir a su oponente.[24] Un claro indicador de su pericia en el combate con espadas es que en Roshar es un maestro de armas alezi enormemente solicitado, habiendo entrenado directamente a los dos hijos Kholin y a Kaladin en el uso y la defensa contra hojas esquirladas. Su conocimiento blandiendo hojas esquirladas probablemente se haya perfeccionado por el uso de Sangre Nocturna, que es semejante a una hoja esquirlada muy poderosa.[25]

Historia

Primeros años y convertirse en Retornado

Vasher nació en Nalthis[26] y en algún momento murió y Retornó. Como otros Retornados, no puede recordar nada de su vida antes de su Retorno. Después de Retornar, el Culto de los Retornados le dio el nombre de Rompeguerras el Pacífico y lo mantuvo con vida proporcionándole alientos.[8]

Junto con otros retornados Denth, Arsteel, Shashara y Yesteel, formó el grupo de los Cinco Sabios. Vasher, entonces conocido como Talaxin, y Shashara crearon a Sangre Nocturna algún tiempo después de saltar mundos{{ref|text=It is known that Shashara is a Worldhopper[27] hasta Roshar,[28] entre otras cosas, cuando ambos estaban enamorados. Se casó con Shashara poco antes de asesinarla con Sangre Nocturna. La asesinó con el fin de evitar que el conocimiento de su creación se difundiera.[29]

La Multiguerra y sus consecuencias

Después de que los Cinco Sabios se separaran, todos se unieron a diferentes bandos en la Multiguerra, cada uno aportando un conocimiento especializado distinto al reino que eligieron.[13]

En el momento en el que empezó, Vasher era conocido como Kalad. El verdadero origen de la guerra es objeto de debate entre los eruditos,[13] pero se sabe que Kalad fue la persona que empezó la Multiguerra contra las ciudades de Kuth y Huth. Las historias dicen que Kalad utilizó su conocimiento del aliento biocromático para crear un inmenso ejército de sinvida y hacerse con el poder en Hallandren. Protegió el reino con sus ejércitos, aunque también lo fragmentó al expulsar a la casa real a las tierras altas.[30]

Posteriormente tuvo un cambio de actitud, que fue tan confuso para la gente que pensaron que se trataba de una persona distinta. Por este motivo, se le conoció también como Dalapaz, quien venció a Kalad y expulsó a los Fantasmas.[7][13]

Kuth y Huth ya habían sido destruidas, pero el resto de reinos estuvo de acuerdo en detener la Multiguerra gracias a la diplomacia de Dalapaz.[13][8]

Dalapaz dejó un tesoro de más de cincuenta mil alientos al primer rey-dios, para que se mantuviera a salvo pero no se usara.[31] Dejó también a los Fantasmas investidos con suficiente aliento como para mantenerse unidos pero no para moverse, listos para entrar en acción de nuevo con suficiente influjo de aliento.[32]

Vasher, Vivenna and Nightblood

Rebelión de Pahn Kahl

At some point, Vasher misinterpreted Arsteel's motives in joining with Denth and killed him.[33] Due to this, and Vasher's killing of Shashara, Denth and Vasher became enemies.

Vasher used a trick to get himself imprisoned in the God King's palace. He escaped his cell and visited a rebel called Vahr. Vahr gave Vasher his Breath in exchange for a merciful death.[34]

Vasher found through a priest there was a political Hallandren group pushing for war against Idris, where the exiled royals lived.[35] Looking for more information on the faction involved, he met with Bluefingers,[36] who gave him information that led him into the home of Mercystar, a Returned who was known for her involvement in politics, yet not all that influential. He broke into her palace; after disabling some guards and creating a Lifeless squirrel as a distraction, he was able to find a secret trapdoor.[37]

He found Vivenna was inadvertently working with Denth to create disturbances and vandalize the city, which was making the movement for war stronger. Because of this, he kidnapped Vivenna and took her to one of the slums, where he forced her to take Nightblood to test her heart. As Nightblood cannot tempt the hearts of those who are pure, she felt sick and dropped the sword, thereby passing the test and gaining his protection. She still believed, however, that Denth and his team were on her side and ran back to them, only to find out they were not what they seemed.[38] Vivenna ran from them and ended up on the streets; eventually, Vasher found her and rescued her, using Nightblood to kill thugs who were threatening her.[39]

Vasher began taking Vivenna to meetings with members of the Idrian community of Hallandren; he had been trying and failing to convince them to stop the riots and avoid the war. Vivenna asked the Idrians to find a way to bring attention to their suffering without bringing hatred as well, and to become heroes to Idris.[2] After that, they continued reaching different groups of people with the same speech in favor of stopping the war.[40]

Vivenna shared some of Denth's plans with Vasher. This knowledge tipped him into finding the daughter of one of the priests who was kidnapped to turn her father in favor of the war. During this rescue, Vasher lost his temper and killed the thugs.[41]

Vivenna and Vasher went to the arena to watch the Hallandren vote on war. They found out that Siri was pregnant; at Vivenna's pleading, Vasher agreed to help save her.[42] When he broke into the God King’s palace, he was ambushed by Denth’s mercenaries who captured him.[20] When Vasher woke up, he was tied by his wrists to a hook in the ceiling of a stone room and tortured by Denth.[43]

Denth also had Nightblood thrown into a bay near T'Telir, but Nightblood was able to get himself retrieved[43]; Vivenna found him and they went to find Vasher.[44] Vivenna freed Vasher from his bonds and gave him a considerable amount of Breath. He began swordfighting Denth; he appeared to be losing, but was confident that he would be able to defeat Denth in the end. However, he ended up being thrown out the window before finishing the fight. Using Awakening, he survived and found Nightblood, which he used to kill a group of Lifeless that were sent to kill him. Nightblood consumed most of his Breath, but he was able to drop Nightblood before dying. Denth came in and asked to finish the duel.[45] Vasher was at a disadvantage, but finished the battle using his secret maneuver: he transferred Breaths to Denth and took advantage of the resulting moment of shock to kill him.[24]

By the time Vasher found Vivenna again, the Pahn Kahl had already sent Hallandren’s Lifeless to attack Idris. They wanted both kingdoms to fight and be weakened, making it easier for them to gain their own liberty. Although Vasher felt hopeless about being able to stop the army, Vivenna found out Vasher's true identity and convinced him to give Susebron control of Kalad's Phantoms. Vasher showed himself as Returned and told Susebron how to activate the Phantoms.[9]

The Lifeless were destroyed, and only a couple of the Phantoms were lost.[46] Vasher, accompanied by Vivenna, then set off to find Yesteel, who was attempting to restore Huth and Kuth.[8]

Training Adolin

Vasher moved to Roshar, the only planet he had been to besides Nalthis.[47] His main purpose in returning to Roshar was to have easier access to the Investiture, in the form of Stormlight, that he needed in order to survive.[48] He partially walked and partially took a vehicle to get from Nalthis to Roshar,[49] making use of a caravan running between the two planets.[50] He took on the name Zahel; he intentionally chose a name similar to the word "Nahel", which means "connection to the divine" in Alethi, to hint at his Returned nature.[51] Zahel became aware of the Purelake at some point and told Nightblood about it and its "magic fish", though it is not known whether that happened during this trip or an earlier one.[52] Due to a "falling out," Vasher was separated from Nightblood after arriving at Roshar.[53][54]

During the War of Reckoning, he served as ardent and swordmaster in the Kholin warcamp. With encouragement from Adolin, whom he had trained before,[55] he became the swordmaster for Renarin Kholin.[10]

Zahel appreciated Renarin’s enthusiasm, obedience, and willingness to look foolish for the sake of training. He also offered to train Kaladin in using Shards and defending himself from Shardbearers in order to better protect the Kholins. He tested Kaladin by sparring with him; he recognized Kaladin's skill and tenacity, but still felt that he needed more training to be fully effective.[3] Kaladin didn’t accept the offer at first, but came asking for it after the attempt on the king’s life; he brought three more men from Bridge Four to train with him. Most of the training was given by Ivis, another ardent.[11]

During the Siege of Kholinar, Vivenna (now going by the name of Azure) met both Kaladin and Adolin. Before parting from them, she asked them to warn Zahel that she was looking for him.[56]

After Kaladin was asked to retire from the front lines, he asked Zahel if he could become a swordsmaster with the ardents. Zahel challenged him to a fight to test his skills, using Awakened cloths to assist him, while grilling Kaladin about his motivations to fight and his religious beliefs. Kaladin recognized his fighting style as being the same as Azure's, and told Zahel that she was looking for him; Zahel was unconcerned, as she'd have to get through Cultivation's Perpendicularity first. Zahel didn't let Kaladin join the ardents because he realized that Kaladin still loved the fight. He then showed Kaladin a fossil and explained that he was a Cognitive Shadow like the Heralds and the Fused, and that the only way to kill the Fused would be with a weapon that could unravel their souls.[21] He was "not available" to help Kaladin during the occupation of Urithiru.[57]

At some point Vasher discovered the existence of Vivenna's Shardblade.[58]

Relaciones

Denth

Vasher knows Denth as VaraTreledees and Denth knows Vasher as Tax. They started out as friends, colleagues from the Five Scholars, and in-laws (when Vasher marries Denth’s sister, Shashara). However, after the creation of Nightblood, Vasher killed Shashara, making a lifelong enemy of Denth.[43]

Denth worked for the Pahn Khal and his payment would be capturing Vasher and make him pay for killing Shashara and Arsteel.[20] Denth did respect Vasher and acknowledged all the good he had done for people throughout his life.[59] Denth wanted Nightblood to kill Vasher, like he did with Shashara; or to kill him in a duel like Arsteel. In the end, Denth was killed by Vasher with the same maneuver used to kill Arsteel.[24]

Vivenna

At first, Vasher believes Vivenna is working with Denth and wants war between Idris and Hallandren. He kidnaps her and tests her by asking her to hold Nightblood. [41] Because she feels sick from doing so, he concludes she has a good heart and decides to protect her, even after she runs from him.[39] He teaches Vivenna about the theory and practice of Awakening.[40] He also helps her get a good grip on her sword and gives her some tips on how to act.[41]

Vivenna is turned against Vasher by Denth,[1][60] an impression that is reinforced by Vasher's rough treatment of Vivenna when he first kidnaps her.[38] However, after he rescues her from the streets and they train and work together, she begins to trust him more and more.[41] After the Pahn Kahl rebellion, she chooses to leave behind her life as a princess to travel the world with Vasher.[8]

Shashara

Shashara works with Vasher and the rest of the Five Scholars in their research into Awakening. They eventually fall in love and get married.[29]

She draws Nightblood at the Battle of Twilight Falls, horrifying Vasher with the result.[29] She reveals the commands for creating Lifeless with a single Breath[43] and wants to reveal the method used to create Nightblood as well, both of which Vasher opposes; they fight and he kills her using Nightblood to prevent more such abominations from being created.[29]

With Nightblood

Sangre Nocturna

“Sneaking, Vasher? You’re terrible at sneaking. ”

—Nightblood to Vasher[37]

Vasher and Shashara create Nightblood during the days when they are in love[29] based on the Shardblades they have seen on Roshar.[61] He changes his name after using him to kill his wife. Vasher has something of a blind spot and some bias regarding Nightblood and makes assumptions he wouldn't make for others.[62]

He doesn’t usually draw Nightblood; all Vasher has to do is throw him and let him do what he does. To Vasher, if someone can be controlled by Nightblood, then they must be guilty.[63] Nightblood has less of an effect on Vasher.[64]

Nightblood can sense where Vasher is. This is because Nightblood has ingested and fed on Vasher’s Breaths in the past, which is also why he does not become sick when touching it.[65] In Roshar, it is implied he still talks to Nightblood expecting an answer, though there hasn’t been an answer in years.[12]

Familia Kholin

Vasher considers Dalinar Kholin and his sons to be his friends.[11] He speaks fondly to Adolin and addresses him as a student, despite the distinct hierarchical difference between them. Adolin often remembers Zahel’s (Vasher’s) advice and speaks fondly of his training with him.[66] Vasher also considers it to be a pleasure to train Renarin due to his enthusiasm, obedience, and lack of fear of looking foolish, something that Vasher says is not easy to teach.[3]

Vasher trains Kaladin and his men to be better bodyguards to the Kholins.[11] He sometimes watches Adolin duel and shouts advice to him.[67] Vasher also gives Dalinar advice on how the ardents must feel about having to choose between him and their religion when Dalinar pushes for testing the boundaries of Vorinism. Presumably thanks to his broader worldview and lack of actual adherence to Vorinism, he accepts Dalinar's actions much more readily than the other ardents.[68]

Kaladin

“But boy, you’ve got red on your ears like I’ve never seen. ”

—Zahel to Kaladin and his men[11]

Vasher, as Zahel, trains Kaladin and is able to understand him, knowing that he is a profound person who asks many questions. Kaladin trusts Vasher enough that he later seeks his advice when he is bothered with the moral decision of letting King Elhokar be killed.[69] Later still, after Kaladin has been relieved of duty due to his battle shock, he seeks out the ardent to talk about his future, and after a sparring match with the man and a discussion about his own thoughts and feelings, Vasher helps Kaladin to begin understanding that he must find his own way rather than relying on what others want of him.[21]
