This seems really niche, but I like it anyway. It's okay to have a few niche cards in the set.
I had forgotten that aspect of his character, Glamdring.
Some of the characters have really shoehorned identities to balance out the pie. I really wish we had found a way to get some blue into Shallan's identity, for example. Szeth, on the other hand, is a perfect BW character. He is utterly insane, especially in the second book. He is following his laws, that is where the white comes from, but he is hardly killing to protect, as a white character would. He is simply too destructive not to be black. He also becomes quite selfish as he descends into madness, blaming his victims for not being strong enough to defeat him. Very twisted, and very black.
Made the name more flavorful.
That's true, he wasn't doing it of his own free will. However, it turns out in the end (SPOILER ALERT!!!) that he didn't need to be following these rules in the first place, and that he was at fault for the deaths because he was never actually Truthless (SPOILER ALERT!!!). Either way, hired assassins are still black (e.g. Royal Assassin).
Yes, but he does all of this not out of any personal desire, but because he's following a very strict set of rules.
I don't remember him being utterly insane, but I'm willing to believe that's a failure of my memory.
Editing for balance.
That would be fun.
His time is mostly spent going around slaughtering important characters, he's utterly insane for most of the book, and he's controlled by a secret underground organization whose goal is to gain power over the fate of the world :)
Hmm. Can you elaborate on what's black about Szeth's character? I have read the books, but only once, and I've read a lot in between.
Note: Represents the strange things Shallan and Kaladin see while weathering the highstorm.
