After being caught trespassing in the [[Bronze Palace]], he was mortally wounded by one of [[Nale]]'s attendants without first procuring the requisite documents to perform an execution. Lift revived him using [[Regrowth]], and he was immediately pronounced Prime Aqasix by the attending [[vizier]]s, who believed he had performed a miracle. After this he promptly pardoned Lift in order to stop Nale from executing her.{{book ref|sa2|I|9}}
Later on [[Dalinar]] spoke with him via [[spanreed]]. He listened to what Dalinar had to say about the [[Everstorm]] but refused to act on it, having heard the rumours of Dalinar's madness and instead believing his warnings to be simple ravings.{{book ref|sa2|89}}
== History ==
The Azish kingdom was choosing a new Prime. At the Royal Palace the viziers, scribes, and arbiters were all given a chance to fill out the proper paperwork to apply to take the place of the new Prime. No one wanted the job. The last two Prime’s were murdered in the same week and with many Monarchs and Highprinces kills within the last two months made it obvious that new Prime would be killed as shortly.
