Graves
Roughly Adolin's age, jet-haired and sharp, in a black shirt embroidered with white vines under a coat worn open. Receives Kaladin in a back room of the Ornery Chull, names himself a patriot, and lays out his cell's plan to remove King Elhokar so that Dalinar may take the throne. A Shardbearer; married a darkeyed woman; one of his sons is a one-eye. SA:WoR:Ch 46
Known facts
- cell-aims-to-remove-elhokar-for-dalinarGraves heads a small cell — Moash's contact Rill, Dalinar's clerk Danlan, and a Shardblade — that means to remove King Elhokar, by accident if possible and by his own hand if not, so that the Blackthorn will take the throne. He has decided he will strike the killing blow himself and asks only that Kaladin, who commands the King's Guard, leave him an opening at which no other guard need bleed.SA:WoR:Ch 46
- married-darkeyedGraves — a Shardbearer — married a darkeyed woman and one of his sons is a one-eye. He treats his men the same regardless of eye colour, which is part of what Moash uses to argue him to Kaladin.SA:WoR:Ch 46
- revised-plan-to-shoot-the-king-with-a-bowBy Moash's account, has revised the plan so that no one will be implicated: Kaladin need only lead the king to a specific spot, and Graves himself — an excellent shot — will fell him with his own bow at distance.SA:WoR:Ch 68
- admits-diagrams-error-about-kaladinScuttling back from a newly Radiant Kaladin in laughter, Graves admits the Diagram spoke of this and the conspirators missed it — they focused on separating Kaladin from Dalinar and not on what their pressure might push him to become.SA:WoR:Ch 84
- names-the-parshmen-as-voidbringersRiding out of the abandoned warcamps with Moash, Graves names the storm-of-the-Diagram for what Dalinar just learned it is — *Everstorm* — and tells Moash it will return the Voidbringers, which turn out to have been the parshmen all along. *That woman was right,* he admits. *Jasnah Kholin.*SA:WoR:Ch 87
Events
- SA:WoR:Ch 46 Rises to greet Kaladin in the back room of the Ornery Chull, lays out the case against Elhokar, and asks for an opening at which to kill him.
- SA:WoR:Ch 82 Arrives with Moash in Shardplate and Shardblade up on his shoulder, faceplate down, ready to finish the king.
- SA:WoR:Ch 83 Pushes Moash from behind — *finish this* — and gives the order from inside his helm.
- SA:WoR:Ch 84 Scuttles backwards down the corridor laughing like a madman, naming the Diagram aloud — *we focused on making certain you were separated from Dalinar and not on what our actions might push you to become.*
- SA:WoR:Ch 87 In darkeye disguise on the wagon, names the Everstorm from the Diagram, identifies the Voidbringers as the parshmen, admits Jasnah was right, and promises Moash he will be introduced to the Diagram in the service of *the salvation of the entire world.*
