Abigail Casey

Abigail Casey is a Reckoner. She is often in command of operations within the Texas Reckoners, and looks out for her team. She dies at Lifeforce's hands during the infiltration of Lux.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Abigail wears practical clothing, often a black tank top, cargo pants, and black boots. She's fairly old, slightly older than Zeff. Despite her age, she is well muscled and fit. She has a multitude of scars that show her years of combat experience. Despite her tough appearance, she is still kind and protective of her fellow Reckoners. She is a strong and competent leader, and doesn't like taking unnecessary risks. 
== History ==
=== Early Life ===
Abigail used to be in finance in her old town of Dallas, and her job kept her busy. Her young daughter, Sophie, always wanted her to go on treasure hunts with her, but Abigail often ignored her because of her job. When the Epics came into the town, Sophie was killed on the way home from school.
=== Arlington ===
Abigail was in command of the operation in the city of Arlington where Lux attacked. One of the Reckoners was injured, and when a squad was sent to rescue them, it went wrong and the operation broke into chaos. Because the Ravens couldn't be killed, Abigail's team was quickly overwhelmed, and by the time Lux left, most of the Texas Reckoners were dead. Jax gave her the news that Zeff was dead, and she in turn had to tell him of Paige's death. Abigail and the other Reckoners decided to keep fighting, despite their low numbers.
=== Galveston ===
Abigail and the other Texas Reckoners laid a trap for Lifeforce in Galveston. When Lifeforce didn't come, Jax wanted to go after Wingflare instead. Abigail ordered the team to abort, but Jax disobeyed his orders, going after Wingflare anyway and badly injuring Briggen in the process. Abigail was angry at Jax for disobeying orders and causing Briggen's horrific scarring.
=== Infiltration of Lux ===
Abigail was part in the infiltration of Lux, in which they snuck into the city and discovered that Paige was alive. With Paige's help and position as a Raven, Abigail and the others were able to make it into Lifeforce's palace for the assassination. They were betrayed by Briggen, who turned them over for wealth and luxury. After they were captured, Lifeforce locked her a green tube along with the other Reckoners. Lifeforce shot himself in the head, and his powers transferred the wound to Abigail, killing her.
== Relationships ==
=== Zeff ===
Abigail is in a relationship with Zeff, and the two are quite close. Abigail is the only one who can bring out Zeff's soft side, and his gruff demeanor completely changes around her.
== Trivia ==

Abrem

Abrem is a man kidnapped by the Set on Scadrial. The Set brought him to the Wayfarer and made him believe that the Ashmounts had erupted and the outside world was a wasteland. He had been keeping notes in the Wayfarer. After Marasi Colms arrived in the Wayfarer, Armal told Fialia who is another resident of the Wayfarer, to fetch him. After Marasi revealed that the Set had been lying to the people of Wayfarer, it is unknown what happened to him.

Abronai

Abronai is a Parshendi man who serves on the Parshendi ruling council, the Council of Five on Narak in 1173.
== Appearance & Personality ==
As Abronai represents the interests of the mates in the Five, he took mateform. In private conversations with Eshonai, Abronai expresses distaste for the form and a desire to switch to another. Abronai appeares plump and lush, like all mates, however he maintains better control over himself than others in mateform.
Abronai wishes that peace could have been reached with the humans when Eshonai meets with Adolin Kholin in the guise of Dalinar. However, he cares for his people more, and despite his fears of stormform he initially supports the idea of converting all of the Parshendi into the new form. However, once the changes it has wrought on Eshonai become clearer, Abronai is strongly opposed to the idea.
== History ==
When the discovery of stormform was put before the Five, Abronai supported Eshonai in her proposal that she be the first to take on the new form. He believed that since the spren had again returned to grant mankind the ancient powers of Surgebinding, as Eshonai witnessed in Kaladin, that the Parshendi also needed to reach for their forms of power.
When Eshonai returned praising the benefits of stormform, Abronai initially agreed that they should have their people take stormform en masse. However, due to Eshonai's new harsh and cruel personality and Zuln's objections, he became uncertain. Abronai was also still offput by the red eyes of stormform and skeptical about whether it could truly summon a highstorm.
After Eshonai's words stirred the Parshendi people into rebellion, Abronai was taken into custody with all the other Parshendi who refused to take stormform. He likely escaped with Thude and the rest of the dissenters into the chasms of the Shattered Plains.

Acclivity stone

Acclivity stone is a mineral that reduces gravity, and even produces anti-gravity, when charged.
== Appearance and Properties ==
Though it rarely occurs in regular space -- such as in the planetary core of ReDawn -- most of the time, acclivity stone can only be found in the nowhere, making it exceptionally rare. The blue color normally indicative of acclivity stone is the result of a refinement process; it looks similar to normal rock beforehand. Uncharged acclivity stone is black in color, with tones of blue. When charged, it glows a blue bright enough to be seen from some distance. It seems capable of holding charge for a considerable amount of time - possibly centuries, though the charge does inevitably run out. While it's rather durable, starfighter destructors are capable of destroying it, rendering it useless. When destroyed, it lets out a flash of light.
Charged acclivity stone seems to affect the surrounding gravity, making it weaker or possibly altering its direction. This can make objects fall more slowly and even produce lift, letting them hover and fly. It also seems to attract light-lances, as it's easier for them to hook on acclivity debris.
== Acquisition and Use ==
Acclivity stone is mined by spacefaring species of the galaxy through nowhere portals. The scarcity of those portals makes obtaining it highly difficult, and the material itself very costly; a species with access to a nowhere portal can become exceedingly rich through mining acclivity stone. However, despite its relative scarcity, acclivity stone is broadly used to provide lift to spaceships and space stations throughout all of the inhabited space, and has been used as such for generations.
For starships and stations, the stone is fashioned into rings that are attached to the underside of the vehicle. The bigger the structure, the more acclivity rings it requires, with the largest structures necessitating hundreds of rings to keep them in orbit. Old acclivity rings can, however, be salvaged and reused, allowing for new ships to be fielded.
Though rarely-occurring in nature, acclivity stone can have major impact on ecosystems in which it does occur. On ReDawn in particular, huge chunks of acclivity stone house the roots of the island trees, the megaflora which serves as the only source of the planet's breathable air. As such, it is foundational to all life in the planet's atmosphere.
== Trivia ==
* An "acclivity" is another word for an upward slope, likely referring to the stone's ability to make things float up.

Acis

Acis is an Alethi soldier in Highmarshal Meridas Amaram's army.

Adamant

Adamant, previously titled The Lurker, is a planned science-fiction novella by Brandon Sanderson. It would the first in a series of six episodic novellas.
==Plot Summary==
Adamant is the story of Jeffrey Salazar, a war hero whose research in alien psychology was vital to the winning of a war with an alien race colloquially referred to as the "Knockers". He visits the Armada flagship, the Adamant, to interview the enemy general who was taken captive. During this interview, Jeff realizes that everything he thought he knew about the Knockers was wrong, and shortly after this the humans are betrayed by a "friendly" group of aliens who gifted the humans with "sidejack" technology, a kind of neural-communication tool. As part of the betrayal the sidejack is turned off, crippling the Armada's command structure. Jeff, who lacks a sidejack, is able to escape with the Adamant and the rest of the story is him fighting a war against the "nice" aliens by trying to elicit advice from the captive Knocker general. Meanwhile, the general is trying to escape.
==Development==
The Lurker originated as a novel co-written with Ethan Skarstedt, one of Brandon's friends who has served in the military. They had previously worked together on the short story Heuristic Algorithm and Reasoning Response Engine. Part of Brandon's inspiration for the novella was the idea of The Silence of the Lambs in space.
Brandon wrote an outline, and Skarstedt completed a novel-length draft. However, Joshua Bilmes expressed the feeling that it was not marketable as written, and at the time Brandon did not have the time to work on it. Some time later Brandon was interested in restarting work on the project; however, Skarstedt was going to be unavailable as a result of being deployed overseas. Brandon then purchased the draft Skarstedt had completed as a "work-for-hire" intending to do a re-write. 
Brandon re-envisioned the project planned as a sequence of six novellas, four being written by Brandon and the others being written by guest authors. He completed the first novella in 2014, renaming it Adamant, and planned to work on revisions between drafts of Oathbringer. By December 2016, Brandon had not completed additional novellas, but he had a breakthrough on the visuals and worldbuilding. He wanted to wait until he had written each of his novellas before finding co-authors. The project then stalled again and there was no new progress to report as of the end of 2020.
While Brandon initially wrote the novella in an alternate-Earth setting, he is considering reworking the setting so that it takes place in the cosmere.

Adawathwyn

Adawathwyn is a former vice governor of Elendel under Governor Varlance. Adawathwyn is a Terris Sparker. 
== Appearance and Personality ==
Adawathwyn has curly brown hair and dark brown eyes. She outwardly appears to be just a token representative for the Terris people, but Varlance is in her pocket for most of his term. He relies on her for almost every action, and she frequently pushes him around on major decisions. 
== History ==
Adawathwyn became the Vice Governor of Elendel under Governor Varlance. She was involved in almost every policy decision he took.
After Steris informed her of a bomb threat to Elendel, she established a Council to investigate it but also maneuvered to exclude House Ladrian. The Council consisted only of three senators, Lord Cett, Lady Hammondess and Lady Gardre.
When Constable-General Reddi invites Steris to the meeting anyway as a subject matter expert, Adawathwyn was not happy.. When the Council proposed a war that Reddi was opposed to, she planned to use a draft to force them. Her actions seem to benefit the Set but Steris believed she was secretly encouraged but not directly influenced by them.
Adawathwyn and the Council finally believe Steris after TenSoon revealed himself, disguised as a police officer. As a Zinc Ferring, she planned to use the Bands of Mourning to safely dispose of the bombs. However, Tensoon revealed that the bands are drained, so Adawathwyn could not try the plan. Considering the destruction of the city imminent, Adawathwyn and the other Senators in the Council fled the city, leaving behind Steris and Varlance to evacuate everyone else.
After the crisis was over, Adawathwyn was fired by Governor Varlance.

Adin

Adin is a darkeyed boy living in Urithiru on Roshar.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Adin is a thirteen-year-old darkeyed boy. He is very brave, risking his life in the fight to escape Urithiru. He hopes that his bravery will attract an honorspren and allow him to join the Windrunners. This belief caused him to glare at passing Regals during the occupation of Urithiru, though not when they were watching. He is relieved when he can walk without a limp after hurting his ankle, as he believes that a sign of weakness might scare off a potential Radiant bond.
== History ==
Adin was a resident of Urithiru during the True Desolation. He worked for his father, a potter named Alalan, though the bowls he made were often lopsided. Sometime before Raboniel's invasion of the tower, he fell down the stairs while pretending to be a Windrunner, after which Kaladin bandaged his ankle and told him to walk with a crutch. His ankle got better later on, so when his father wanted to watch a battle in Urithitu, Adin followed to help and earn his own spren. When the humans protected the fallen Radiants, Adin first tried to hide and only joined the fight later on when his father was already wounded. During the battle, Adin feared for his life, but both he and his father survived as they were saved by Dabbid and Kaladin, who had just earned his Shardplate.
== Relationships ==
=== Alalan ===
Adin's father. When Alalan catches Adin glaring at the Regals, he warns him to keep his eyes down, lest he is caught and killed. Adin views his father as extremely brave for tending the fallen radiants directly beneath the gaze of the Fused.
=== Kaladin ===
Adin respects and reveres Kaladin, viewing him with a sense of awe. He is embarrassed that he missed seeing Kaladin fight for the well node, an event that he napped through.
=== Shar ===
Shar is the daughter of a seamstress in Urithiru which Adin doesn't particularly like. According to him, she is bossy enough that one would think she is lighteyed. Her uncle is a Windrunner. When Adin catches her glaring at warform singers he thinks that she is trying to attract her own honorspren.
=== Master Liganor ===
Master Liganor is the lighteyed owner of the pottery Adin's father is working at. Adin thinks he is nice and appreciates the bravery of keeping the shop open during the occupation, though he did close the shop when a fight broke out.

Admiral

The Admiral is the commander of the Night Brigade. Her real name is unknown.
== Appearance and Personality ==
The Admiral is a tall woman, with short black hair and a formal demeanor. She wears a full military uniform, and typically stands when working, disinclined to rest. She is rather hands-on with the Night Brigade operations, descending upon the surface of Canticle herself rather than leaving the matters to her subordinates. While she has no compunction against harming civillians, she prefers to aim her violence at more useful targets. She appears to have a particular focus on acquiring the Dawnshard that Nomad once held; that Nomad keeps slipping her confuses and infuriates her. Although she does not express that fury openly, she prefers to be left alone when incensed.
== Abilities ==
Aside from commanding the living members of the Night Brigade, the Admiral can also control the Brigade's shades. She can do so without having to vocalize her commands, as the shades seemingly obey her desires. How she accomplishes this is unknown, though it may be tied to the Continuity Chain, the whip-like weapon she always keeps on her person.
==History==
The Admiral arrived in the Canticle system flying in low orbit on the Night Brigade's warship, along her staff sergeant, Truth-Is-Waiting. They, and several other members of the Night Brigade --including at least two shades-- descend onto the planet to gather information about Nomad's whereabouts.
Truth-Is-Waiting later reported what he learned to the Admiral and ultimately, she chose to question the Scadrian research ship present on the planet instead of the locals.
== Trivia ==
* The Admiral is set to be the protagonist (though not necessarily the hero) of The Night Brigade.

Admiral Daal

Admiral Daal is the ambassador of the Malwish Consortium to Elendel. He replaced Jonnes in that position.
== Appearance and Personality ==
As a warship captain and high-ranking official of the Malwish Consortium, Daal wears an intricate mask that is carved and inlaid with metals around the eyes. He is not inclined to lift his mask, at least while in the North. He has also been known to wear a bloodred mask and one painted with red lines, which may or may not be different masks. He is short. 
He is self-assured of the superiority of the South and quick to make his displeasure known to outsiders he thinks have wronged it.
== History ==
Daal served in the military of the Southern Continent of Scadrial, eventually reaching the rank of admiral and becoming captain of a warship. Allik referred to him as "the Primary", which may be another title or military honor, and "respected by the Hosts", meaning that he had been successful in war.
In , the Malwish Consortium sent Daal to Elendel to serve as their new ambassador after deciding that the previous ambassador, Jonnes, had become too "familiar" with the Northerners. He brought his former warship to the city as a statement to the North and was met by Wax aboard the ship. Their meeting was tense; Wax attempted to be diplomatic, but Daal already knew of Wax and needled him about the Bands of Mourning, as well as the relationship between the North and South and their respective military capabilities. The crewmembers of the ship were similarly cold to Wax, unlike other Malwish that he had met.
Daal bribed his way into the Governor's Select Council that was later convened to discuss the threat of the bomb from Bilming. He observed silently until the possibility of using the Bands of Mourning came up, which he objected to before negotiating an agreement that the Bands would go back to the Consortium after being used just once for the current emergency. The Bands turned out to be drained of all power, and he took possession of them and left the meeting, offering to bring the other politicians with him as he evacuated the city. Steris got the impression that he had been prepared for the Bands to be empty and that the whole sequence of events was some sort of ploy, but she was not able to investigate more.
