Abidi the Monarch
A Heavenly One Fused leading the ambush patrol over the Shadesmar bead ocean — white-marbled face with only specks of black, heavily accented Alethi, contemptuous of Lightweavers, claiming to be one of the rare members of his kind still sane. SA:WaT:Ch 9
Known facts
- claims-renewal-from-radiant-bloodTells Shallan as he pins her in a bead cave that his Fused brothers and sisters have gone mad from so long a life, but that he stays sane because he bathes in the blood of Radiants, which renews him. He intends to keep Lightweavers alive specifically to bleed for him.SA:WaT:Ch 9
- cracked-gemheart-cannot-flyThe gemheart wound Adolin gave Abidi in Shadesmar persists: his eyes pulse and stutter red, and he can no longer hold enough Voidlight for the Lashings that let a Heavenly One fly. He fights well enough on foot not to need it.SA:WaT:Ch 41
- bathing-in-radiant-blood-quiets-the-voicesAbidi tells Adolin that the blood of Radiants quiets the voices in his head and dulls the edge of a thousand years of pain — and that bathing in it makes them simmer and slip away. He has marked Adolin as his next prize on this premise, reading the honorspren flitting near him as proof he is a Radiant of an unfamiliar order.SA:WaT:Ch 63
- abidi-takes-adolins-shardplate-and-an-azish-bladeWith the inner Shardbearer killed at the dome gap, Abidi the Monarch takes the field at the head of the singer rush wearing Adolin's Shardplate — blood-glistening, red eyes shining through the slits of his helm — with a Blade that had once been an imperial Azish heirloom in his other hand.SA:WaT:Ch 125
Events
- SA:WaT:Ch 63 Hangs back to study Adolin after the charge; names him Radiant and Kholin, declares his intent to bathe in Radiant blood.
- SA:WaT:Ch 84 Strides into the hospital hall calling for the slaughter of the wounded — then turns and flees the moment he recognises Talenel rising from the bed.
- SA:WaT:Ch 85 Visible through the dome breach with his troops, shaken by the fire and the heaps of dead, declining to engage Colot's reinforcements at the gap.
- SA:WaT:Ch 125 Steps to the forefront of the singer ranks as they pour through the breach in the dome, wearing Adolin's Plate and carrying an imperial Azish heirloom Blade, laughter and red eyes through the eye slits — and the shield line shatters in front of him.
- SA:WaT:Ch 129 Wearing Adolin's Plate and seated on the Azish throne with the Azish heirloom Blade beside him, Abidi locks the chamber, taunts Adolin for not knowing how aluminum is applied, and opens the duel with a single sweeping Shardblade stroke.
- SA:WaT:Ch 130 Abidi chases Adolin through the throne room, tries to bargain for the emperor, boasts of feeling invincible in Plate — and stalks, in no hurry, intending to let the deadline arrive and the kingdom fall under Azish law.
- SA:WaT:Ch 132 Abidi starts to fight in earnest as Adolin's knife-and-sword style strips the Plate of leverage, and grunts in growing frustration as not a single hit lands.
- SA:WaT:Ch 133 Abidi takes Adolin in both hands and hurls him at the stone wall — and the embers that explode from his stolen Plate leave him stripped, bloodied, and gaping at the man across the room. *Oh, songs,* he swears.
- SA:WaT:Ch 134 Hurled through the doors at the Azimir palace's hallway wall, bleeding orange, finished by Adolin's heel through the gemheart in his chest.
