Nin

A tall, dead-eyed Azish man in a black uniform with a double row of silver buttons and gloves whose collars run halfway up his forearms; a pale crescent birthmark sits on one cheek. Lift knows him only as Darkness, and as the figure who has hunted her halfway across the continent. Wields a Shardblade and is attended by black-and-silver minions who file the proper paperwork before any killing. SA:ED:Prologue

The man who reaches Szeth on the empty rocks of the Frostlands after the storm, restores him with a glowing fabrial before his brain dies, and names himself in answer to the question — *Nin, the one they call Nalan or Nale here. Herald of Justice.* Dark brown Makabaki skin, a pale hooked-crescent mark on his right cheek, a crisp black-and-silver uniform, a sheathed sword behind his back. He tells Szeth that he watched him obey his personal code to perfection when others would have crumbled, and offers him the path of the Skybreakers — *come along. It is time to visit your people.* SA:WoR:Ch 88
