Neturo-son-Vallano

Neturo-son-Vallano is a Shin man on Roshar, the father of Szeth, and a holder of Ishar's Honorblade until his death. After this, he becomes one of Ishar's Fused. He was married to Zeenid-daughter-Beth and is also the father of Elid-daughter-Zeenid.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Neturo-son-Vallano is ethnically Shin, meaning that he is likely lighter-skinned and shorter than other Rosharans and his eyes lack an epicanthic fold. He is a calm man with a long beard he likes to keep tied up at the bottom with a green ribbon, matching the other two he ties on his arms. He wears a reed hat to give him shade.
He is a follower of Stone Shamanism, but doesn't follow it blindly and is flexible with what is right and wrong according to his religion. He believes the greatest service a man can perform is to create, or to add to the universe, and therefore is unhappy with being forced to kill. However, he is still willing to do it if it means being able to follow Szeth.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
Neturo is the Bondsmith Honorbearer. However, like Szeth, it seems Neturo was trained in the use of all the different blades, possibly during his time accompanying Szeth during his pilgrimage.
While bearing Ishar's Honorblade, he has access to the Surges of Tension and Adhesion. These are the same Surges used by the Radiant Order of Bondsmiths, but the Surgebinding granted by Honorblades typically differs from Surgebinding granted by a Nahel bond. 
== History ==
Neturo-son-Vallano worked as a shepherd on the coast of Shinovar during Szeth's youth. One day, Szeth was attacked by a soldier that was patrolling the area around their homestead, and while defending himself, he killed the man. From that moment on, Szeth was recognized one who subtracts, and was forced to join the Stoneward temple to train as a soldier. Neturo stepped up and decided to join his son in his training to keep his family together, so Zeenid and Elid also joined him.
As time passed, he was placed in charge of the organization of the military camp, which gave him a position of honor. This remained so until Szeth sank two ships defending the coast of Shinovar from a raid of Stonewalkers, an act that was deemed deserving of punishment for taking excessive measures.
During this incident, the Honorbearers discovered that Szeth was being spoken to by The Voice, and that made him part of a higher plan, so he was pardoned and made to join the Elsecaller monastery as an acolyte. This meant that Szeth had to move away, once again leaving everything behind. Neturo, once again, decided to follow his son, leaving his position behind to become the administrator of Mokdown, the city outside of the Elsecaller monastery. This time, though, only Elid decided to follow him; Zeenid disagreed with what Neturo was doing by following their son and decided to go back to live with her sisters.
While they lived in Mokdown, Neturo once again excelled at his job as an administrator. At some point during his stay there, he began a relationship with Sivi, the Willshaper Honorbearer.
After a time passed, it was decided that Szeth was to begin a pilgrimage to become the successor to the previous holder of Jezrien's Honorblade, Tuko-son-Tuko. Szeth tried to sneak away without having anyone accompany him, but just as he was leaving the town, he found Neturo, who followed him once more.
After Szeth met the Voice and believed it to be an Unmade, he left Neturo behind and began his rebellion. During this time, Neturo completed his training and ascended to the position of Bondsmith Honorbearer. He confronted Szeth, who was now leading a sizeable rebellion, and convinced him to stand down. After his son was deemed Truthless and exiled, Neturo kept on working with the rest of the Honorbearers at Ishar’s orders. Around , Ishar killed him and made him into one of his Fused.
Neturo was finally laid to rest in after a fight with Szeth in which his son ended his life using Nightblood.
== Relationships ==
=== Szeth ===
Szeth greatly respects his father and considers him a gentle, wise man. When Szeth became Truthless, he stopped thinking of himself as "Szeth-son-Neturo" to avoid besmirching his father's name, instead using his grandfather's name; he even tried to stop thinking about Neturo entirely.

== Trivia ==
* An early concept of the character that became Neturo is briefly mentioned in The Way of Kings Prime when Jek (the prototype for Szeth) notes that he is skilled in the art of stealth killing due to extensive training with his father.
