Jon Deadfinger

Jon Deadfinger is a lawman from Far Dorest in the Roughs on Scadrial.
== Appearance Personality ==
Deadfinger is a hard man, willing to beat a confession out of his suspects.
== History ==
Jon Deadfinger worked as a lawman before Waxillium Ladrian went to the Roughs. However, as a lone lawman in a town with a high population, his influence did not extend far beyond the borders of Far Dorest. Deadfinger was too busy handling problems in his own town to do much work outside of it. When Wax was first learning to be a lawman, Jon Deadfinger mentored him and taught him the basics.
Deadfinger was the lawman who easily caught a sixteen year-old Wayne after Wayne inadvertently killed the innocent man he had been trying to rob. Deadfinger and Wax found him hiding underneath a crawlspace of a house. Jon dragged Wayne out of the crawl space while Wayne complained of a sound of gunfire only he could hear.
For a few years after Wax departed to be the lawman of Weathering, Deadfinger, Wax, and Miles Dagouter had a sort of lawkeeper's alliance, but this eventually seems to have fallen apart.

Jor presumably lived in a warcamp on the Shattered Plains before the Battle of Narak and was among the many evacuees to Urithiru. He worked as a bouncer in a low-end bar that Shallan selected as a good place to practice using her Veil persona. He watched and laughed as Veil struggled to drink some strong alcohol, then sat next to her and flirted with her. When he realized that Veil was quickly getting drunk, he warned her that the area could be dangerous and offered to call a palanquin to take her home. Veil managed to extract some information from Jor about the rumored location of a murder before sobering up instantly through the use of Stormlight. Jor and the bartender were left very confused as Veil casually exited the bar.
Later, Jor worked as a bouncer in the Ten Rings section of Urithiru's central market at Jez's Duty, a winehouse that Adolin frequented. Jor held a wedding party at the winehouse when he married Kryst, and Syl rode around on his shoulder as he greeted the attendees.

Jost

Jost is a darkeyed man from Hearthstone in Alethkar on Roshar who grew up with Kaladin.
==Appearance and Personality==
As a fourteen-year-old, Jost already had the body of a man. He had a broad chest and thick, stocky legs like his father's. He harbored resentment towards Kaladin, since he perceived Kaladin's surgical training as an easy assignment compared to working in the fields. Kaladin cites Jost's name as an example of a 'solid, Alethi darkeyes' names, unlike his own.
==History==
Jost was born into a typical Hearthstone family of the fourth or fifth nahn. His parents are farmers, and his father spent time as a soldier.
As a child, Jost worked in the lavis fields outside of Hearthstone with the other darkeyed children of the village, helping to keep the polyps free of diggerworms. When they were not working, Jost played with the other children in the village, including his brother Jest, Tift, Mord, Naget, and Khav. Jost and the other children were bitter that Kaladin was able able to stay inside during the day, not realizing that he worked hard at his studies all day long.
In , he got into an altercation with Kaladin. Kaladin inadvertently made several comments that antagonized Jost, and Laral further agitated the situation. Jost claimed that his father should have been awarded a Shardblade after killing a Shardbearer in the wastescum skirmishes, but someone else took the Blade while he was unconscious. Kaladin suggested that Jost's father could not have possibly won a Shardblade in the fighting since the Reshi people were not known to have Blades. Jost took this as Kaladin calling his father a liar, and he challenged Kaladin to a fight with wooden staves. Despite the fact that Jost had trained in the staff and Kaladin had never wielded a weapon before, Kaladin landed several blows and only lost the fight because he hesitated to hurt Jost. This was the first time that Kaladin realized how much he enjoyed using a weapon, and he asked Jost to train him further. Jost admitted that Kaladin had done well, but declined to train him, saying that Lirin would not allow it and that Kaladin should go be a surgeon. The memory of the fight and the excitement that he felt while wielding the staff stuck with Kaladin.
Jost, Abry, and several other youths from Hearthstone volunteered for Amaram's army in . Jost was sixteen or seventeen years old at the time; his mother did not want him to leave, as she needed his help with the crops.

Junmi

Junmi is the author of The Conquest of Space. As Spensa was told stories about Junmi by her grandmother while growing up, it is likely that this book is autobiographical to at least some extent. If so, Junmi was a spacefarer involved in exploring and conquering, potentially violently, some amount of the universe. She held some sort of belief that people should be accepting and grateful for what they are given in life.
Spensa thoroughly enjoyed being told stories about Junmi while she was growing up and believes that she liked these stories almost as much as she liked stories about the Vikings. The reason she likes Junmi less is because stories of Junmi contain fewer decapitations than stories of the Vikings.

It is located on a peninsula east of the Oathbound Spires, and north of the Astral Banks and Lasting Integrity.

KRELL

Ketos redgor Earthen listro listrins (KRELL) is a paramilitary force within the Superiority's Department of Protective Services. The name translates to "Penitentiary maintenance and containment of Earthlings". It's unknown whether their jurisdiction is limited to Detritus or if they're responsible for all human preserves.
== Function ==
KRELL's primary task is preventing the human population from leaving their planet. They do so mostly by launching occassional attacks to keep people focused on defending themselves, leaving them no breathing room for researching means of escape or recovering any advanced technology. KRELL is, however, forbidden from outright destroying humanity, as Superiority laws prohibits a species from being completely wiped out. 
This being said, recently this rule appears to no longer be in effect, as KRELL have begun to act more aggressively, at least in regards to Detritus. This could be motivated by humans' improved fighting capacity, or political maneuvering of their parent organization, the Department of Protective Services, and its leader, Winzik.
With how small Superiority's military is, it's likely that KRELL is their largest fighting force. As such, their drone pilots can sometimes be called on to perform other tasks, such as overseeing tests for the Delver Resistance Project.
== Resources ==
Most of the people serving in KRELL are varvax; because of this, humans often use "krell" to refer to the species. They command a small fleet of fighter ships, as well as as a space station positioned in the vicinity of Detritus. The station serves as the KRELL command center, the hub for their fighters, and an observation post from which they monitor the planet. Despite its many functions, KRELL's station is smaller than the Superiority's heavier military ships.
Vast majority of KRELL forces pilot remotely-controlled drones, although they do possess a number of manned vessels, nicknamed "aces" by the DDF. They also have some lifebusters, special weapons designed to keep Detritus in check, or wipe its population out if necessary. They can additionally call on a few larger battleships, which are far more formidable than the fighters. The KRELL vehicles can be recognized by the stenciled name of the force on their sides, as well as a black coat of paint.
== Trivia ==
* The name "Krell" is an homage to Forbidden Planet, one of Brandon's favorite movies. It's also popped up in the cosmere; there, krell are herbivorous animals native to First of the Sun.

KaDo

KaDo is a rare Kerztian spice on Taldain. It accelerates dehydration and can cause people to act rashly. KaDo can serve as a poison in the parched desert climate of Dayside. It is particularly effective on sand masters since they naturally become dehydrated while using their powers. 
==History==
===Kerztian Attack on the Diem===
Elorin used KaDo to poison the bowl that was used for a ceremonial drink shared by all of the sand masters in the Diem during an advancement ceremony in the Kerla. This caused the sand masters to overmaster and dehydrate almost immediately when they were attacked by Kerztian warriors. The strongest Mastrells were the first to fall to dehydration and overmastery; likely because controlling more ribbons already increases the rate of dehydration, and that rate was increased by the KaDo.
The Kerztians would not have usually attacked such a large groups of sand masters, but the effect of the KaDo left the Diem exceptionally vulnerable; nearly all of their members who fought were massacred or died through overmastery.
===Drile and Kenton's Duel===
Before Drile's duel with Kenton, Elorin dosed the water bowls for both Kenton and Drile. Kenton notes his eyes were already feeling dehydrated after the first volley of mastered sand. Drile also became dehydrated unusually quickly, and began to overburn to win the duel when Kenton began to make a come-back. 
After the fight, the two mastrells concluded that someone must have poisoned them hoping to ensure that a weak leader would rule the Diem, or that overburning might injure the Taishin watching the duel and send all of Lossand into chaos. Drile mentioned that the only other time he had seen similar weakness was during the attack in the Kerla, and recalled that Elorin was the person who gave out water that day. 
Kenton confronted Elorin, who confessed that he was a traitor and explained how he had accomplished the poisonings. Elorin attacked Kenton with his zinkall before dying to a ribbon of sand.

Kage

Kage is a tenasi Superiority admiral. She wears a white military uniform and serves on Brade's staff of advisors.
At the beginning of the Battle of Evensong, Brade discussed tactics with Admiral Kage. The admiral reported that the Defiant coalition of planets had far more inhibitor taynix with them than the Superiority thought they would have. Brade explained to her that the humans attacking them would be foolish about how much effort they would put into defending the Defiant, an insight which Kage questioned at first before accepting Brade's superior knowledge of humans. She also expressed her concern to Brade about summoning the delvers and received the assurance that they would only call on them if the Superiority could not gain victory on its own.
== Notes ==
Kahar

Kahar is an Elantrian on Sel who cleaned New Elantris.
==Appearance and Personality==
He is an older man with a thin and stooped appearance. Although the corrupted Shaod made all Elantrians look older, Kahar has an even more wizened appearance than most. He hobbles when he walks.
He is polite and has a practiced air of subservience. Like many Elantrians during the Shaod, he is apathetic and suffering, to the point where he thinks he might become Hoed. Once he is assigned to clean the city, he shows himself to be extremely diligent and resourceful, and he takes great pride in his work. He is fastidious and prefers to observe proper decorum.
==History==
Before being taken by the Shaod, Kahar was a cleaner who washed streets.
He was the first Elantrian to join Raoden's band on his own initiative. After Raoden saved a few new Elantrians who had been thrown into the ruined city, Kahar heard rumors on the streets that Raoden had a secret to make the pain go away, and joined him hoping to be let in on this secret.
Raoden tasked Kahar with cleaning the former chapel that his team was using as a base. Kahar quickly threm himself into this task, and realized that he still retained his cleaning skills. Despite the fact that the slime covering the city was oily and difficult to scrub away, Kahar was able to make the chapel look spotless, even rediscovering the reliefs which decorated the walls. While working on the chapel he discovered the "secret" to not becoming Hoed; being distracted by work helped him forget the pain.
Raoden and Kahar then discussed the importance of removing the filth from the streets and surrounding buildings, and Kahar was not daunted by the scope of the task. He was given a small crew of assistants, and Raoden tried to procure additional cleaning supplies for him when he could. Kahar tirelessly washed and scrubbed New Elantris as it expanded. He cleaned the city almost single-handedly, and the work continued to keep his pain at bay.
During the Invasion of Arelon, Derethi soldiers and Dakhor monks attacked New Elantris. Galladon saw that Kahar had lost an arm and both legs in the fighting. It is unclear if Kahar died from his injuries or if he survived to see the restoration of Elantris.

Kai-garnis

Kai-garnis is a thunderclast that was involved in the Battle of Thaylen Field.
She awakened from the bay in the midst of the singer army before the battle by sinking into the stone and becoming it, before ripping herself out of the ground. Odium later complimented her on the destruction of part of the outer wall and tasked her with taking the Oathgate if the Tisark couldn't destroy it. Hrdalm and Adolin Kholin attacked her, and were successful in cutting off a single leg, although this did not significantly hinder Kai-garnis. When Renarin Kholin arrived, however, Kai-garnis appeared to be scared of him. Renarin convinced Adolin to stand down, as he did not have his Shardplate at the time, so Adolin lent Maya to Hrdalm; Renarin and Hrdalm then continued the attack. Kai-garnis crushed Renarin with her hands several times; Renarin was unfazed by these attacks, healing almost instantly with the surge of Regrowth, and was able to land a serious blow each time he was hit. Renarin and Hrdalm managed to cut off Kai-garnis' legs and arms. Once she was immobilized, Renarin approached her head and drew in a large amount of Stormlight, which caused Kai-garnis to flee from the stone.

Kaladin's squad

Kaladin's squad was a group of solders in Meridas Amaram's army on Roshar who fought in small border skirmishes. They attempted to show enough promise so as to be transferred to the Shattered Plains where real soldiers fought because it was said to be much safer there. Most of the squad was killed during an attempt on Amaram's life by Helaran Davar amidst a border skirmish between the Sadeas princedom and another Alethi princedom, presumably one of the two bordering princedoms, the Vamah princedom or the Aladar princedom.
