Tuko-son-Tuko
The Shin Honorbearer of Wind nine and a half years before the present day — keeper of the Windrunner Honorblade and the man Szeth is dispatched to duel in order to take his place. Tuko knew, the moment they sent the young trainee to him, that he had been marked for replacement; he holds his Blade until the end and dies with a final stanza on his lips, refusing to step aside even after being defeated.

Known facts
- dies-with-rattle-of-the-climbDying in Szeth's lap on the mosaic-tiled floor of the monastery of Wind, Tuko gasps out a stanza in the cadence of a Death Rattle — a climb up the wall of grief toward a light he loves, locked away above, with his darkened twin on his back — before the strength leaves him and the Blade clangs free.SA:WaT:Ch 83
- was-already-planning-rebellionSzeth discovered, after taking Tuko's seat, that the slain Honorbearer had been quietly preparing for war against the other monasteries — gathering rejects from across Shinovar chosen for their skill with the sword and their willingness to question, and arming his own house against a siege. He had backed down before declaring openly, waiting and watching, and was finally caught out when Szeth arrived to duel him.SA:WaT:Ch 98
