The messenger in black
also known as the messenger
Wears unbroken black; pale-skinned, narrow-built, with black hair so pure it betrays no Veden ancestry. Delivers a brief warning from Helaran to Brightlord Davar at the Middlefest Fair and then seeks out a fourteen-year-old Shallan in the carriage yard. Asks whether spren speak to her, tells her a parable about beauty and blindness, draws out Stormlight from her, and warns her she does not yet understand the nature of lies. SA:WoR:Ch 45
