Themos Tresting

Lord Themos Tresting is a noble on Scadrial.
== History ==
Tresting was the master of a plantation in the Central Dominance north-west of Luthadel. His staff at the plantation included other lords and at least two minor obligators, as well as a number of taskmasters and over two dozen soldiers. His plantation was manned by a workforce of several hundred skaa.
He was described as efficient and productive. He kept his skaa in line with the whips of the taskmasters and the threat of having whole families executed. Some skaa did try running away shortly after he inherited the land from his father, but the slaughter of their families discouraged any further departures.
Tresting was a law-abiding noble, although he gets chills at the thought of the Canton of Inquisition investigating his operations. He liked to "dally" with skaa women periodically, but culled those he chose within a few weeks to avoid any mishaps. He had heard stories of the Steel Inquisitors, and he has no desire to meet one.
Tresting purchased a fine suit and vest from the capital and had it shipped out on the canals. He is concerned with being able to present himself well; however, he also keeps a "mundane" pantry, indicating a thrifty nature.
== Events ==
Lord Tresting briefly entertained Straff Venture's personal obligator at his plantation manor, and was promised a favorable report in Tresting's upcoming contract with House Venture. He was distracted from his guest by a skaa in the fields staring at him and smiling, and when he called for taskmaster Kurdon to take care of the problem, the offending skaa had vanished.
This minor event did not deter him from choosing Jess's daughter as his reward for a successful day of business, and that choice became his undoing. Kelsier took the opportunity to kill the entire noble population of the manor and burn the building to the ground.

Theopolis

Theopolis is a fort tax collector and a loan shark.
==Appearance==
He possesses a smooth voice and a clean-shaven face. His gangly frame is adorned commonly in clean simple clothing, with no markings of his station. He has a patronizing smile.
==Personality==
He is a dangerous, unscrupulous man who covets after Silence Montane's waystop. Silence does not want anybody to know that she is the bounty hunter White Fox, so she gives the criminal's body to Theopolis and he uses his connections in Lastport to get the bounty quietly. He keeps half the bounty money and gives the rest back to Silence. He is skilled at this due to his vast knowledge of places to hide things. He finally meets his demise at the hands of the shade of Silence's grandmother.

Thered

Thered is a Derethi arteth on Sel.
==Appearance and Personality==
He is Fjorden, and had a strong and tall frame, with dark hair, along with squarish features. He is a muscular man from his training in the monastery.
==History==
Thered was an arteth in Kae prior to the arrival of Hrathen. Hrathen was impressed with Thered's service, and offered him the position of head arteth in the chapel, but he refused the position. Hrathen was shocked, thinking no Derethi priest would refuse a position of such power, and demanded to know why Thered refused. Thered offered no explanation. Hrathen worried that Fjon had weakened the priests in Kae, but tossed that idea aside, instead suspecting that Thered refused the position out of respect for Dilaf's growing influence within the chapel.
== Notes ==
Theron

Theron is a skaa thief from Luthadel on Scadrial.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Theron is a tall man who wears a simple grey shirt and slacks. He keeps a thins sword tied around his waist.
Like most thieves, Theron doesn't trust anyone. He likely would have betrayed Camon if given the chance, but Camon betrays him first.
Vin nearly had to use her Luck on Theron to get him to stop running his eyes up and down her body.
== History ==
About six years before the Collapse, Theron discovered that the Steel Ministry secretly moved a large amount of funds to Luthadel along with acolytes transferring to Luthadel for their final instruction. Over the next five years, he spent thousands of boxings to create the perfect opportunity to steal these funds, creating the appearance that House Jedue was financially desperate. This included faking contracts for House Jedue to "lose," such as the Farwan deal, the "loss" of which made it appear as if House Jedue could no long afford to run its canal boats to Luthadel. This appearance, in turn, allowed him to apply for a contract with the Canton of Finance to run the canal boats that transported the acolytes, and make the offer extremely appealing by offering a significantly reduced price without it appearing suspicious.
To sell the con, however, Theron needed someone to play the role of Lord Jedue, and so reluctantly partnered with Camon, one of the best noble impersonators in the Luthadel underground. Camon played along, but he knew Theron's resources were stretched thin. After securing the contract, Camon betrayed Theron and simply took the three thousand boxing down payment, abandoning the plan to actual run the boats and steel from the convoy, and leaving Theron to deal with the Ministry's wrath when it discovered it had been scammed.
When Kelsier's crew needed a way to get Marsh into the Steel Ministry, Vin remembered that Theron had an obligator contact that was open to bribes on the canal route that new acolytes took to Luthadel. Dockson then reached out to Theron and was able to use his contact to get Marsh added as an acolyte from the contact's local chapter.
The Steel Inquisitors hunting Vin discovered the connection between her and Theron's crew, and massacred the entire crew.
If Theron and Camon had successfully pulled off the attack on the convoy, they would have found atium hidden among the coins, revealing to Ruin that most atium never left the Pits of Hathsin.
== Notes ==
Thior

Dr. Thior is a doctor and the head of Alta Base medical for the Defiant Defense Force.
She is an advocate for pilot mental health and in her role as head of medical pushes for, and successfully implements, initiatives such as counseling and mandatory leave for pilots after the loss of flight members. Cobb agrees with Dr. Thior's overall sentiment, as well as some of her suggestions, however, he believes that she doesn't fully understand what is and isn't helpful for grieving pilots. Overall, he thinks of her as a good person.
Dr. Thior does not believe that the defect exists and has strongly advocated against the removal of Spensa from Flight School based on the brain readings taken using the probes in Spensa's helmet. Dr. Thior has offered alternative explanations for these readings, however, it is not currently known what alternatives she has suggested. She is supported strongly by Jorgen's father Algernon Weight, as well as other political figures. On Ironsides' orders, Dr. Halbeth -- a proponent of the defect -- condemns Dr. Thior's explanations of Spensa's readings.
After the death of their teammate, Hurl, Dr. Thior orders the members of Skyward Flight to take a weeks worth of medical leave. Additionally, after being tipped off that Spensa was being denied the right to food and accomodation at Alta Base, Dr. Thior caused a commotion, leading Ironsides to remove the restrictions that had been placed on Spensa, giving her full cadet privileges. It is likely that Cobb was the one who tipped off Dr. Thior.

Thomas York

Thomas York is the principal of Armedius Academy.
Despite being in charge of one of the eight Rithmatic Academies of the United Isles of America, he is notably not a Rithmatist. 
He had a close relationship with Trent Saxon, Joel's father. After Trent died in a springrail accident, he awarded Joel a scholarship for free tuition so he could afford to attend Armedius.
== Notes ==
Thomton Delacour

Thomton Delacour is possibly a fashion designer or tailor in Elendel on Scadrial.
Wayne told a boatman who questioned his Roughs coat that his outfit was actually couture designed by Thomton with a 'northern outlands inspiration'. Since Wayne was posing as an indignant noble, it is possible that he made up the name on the spot to help mislead the boatman.
== Notes ==
Threnodite system

The Threnodite system is the planetary system that contains Threnody, where Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell takes place. Though none of the planets in the system have Shards residing on them, the Shards Ambition, Mercy, and Odium fought in the empty space of the system. It is unclear which side Mercy supported, though it seems likely that they were allied to Ambition, since Harmony reached out to them for help against Odium. Ambition was mortally wounded as a result of this clash, and this calamity is at least a partial cause of the twisted forms of Investiture on Threnody. The system contains four planets, one of which has a moon. It is significant that most of the celestial bodies in the system are named after songs of mourning.
== Planets ==
There are four planets in this system, however, more planets existed in the planetary system in the distant past. The previously extant planets were destroyed by the conflict between Odium and Ambition. 
Three of the four remaining planets (as of the Night of Sorrows), as well as the sole moon, are named after different types of songs of mourning:
;Monody:
The planet closest to the sun.
;Elegy:
This is the second planet from the sun, possessing a moon called Coronach. 
;Threnody:
The third planet from the sun, where Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell takes place. This planet has people on it, as well as a strong ambient Investiture presence in the form of the shades that populate the Forests found on one of the two continents. Threnody has no moon.
;Purity:
This planet is the furthest out in the system, and is much farther from the other three planets than they are from each other. It is also much larger than the other three planets, which are similar in size to each other. The exclamation "Purity's Eye," used by Nazh, likely derives from this planet.
== Trivia ==
* A Coronach is the Scottish gaelic version of a goll, and the third part of a round of mortuary keening.
* A Monody is a poem lamenting a person's death.

Thresh-son-Esan

Thresh-son-Esan is a Shin trader in Shinovar. He has a longstanding friendship and bond of trust with the Thaylen merchant Vstim.
==Appearance==
As a trader, Thresh is privileged enough in Shin society to wear a colorful cape with his shirt and trousers, unlike warriors and workers who must wear basic brown clothing.
==History==
Thresh' Shin-style full name indicates that his father was a man named Esan.
Thresh regularly traded with people from other countries, and can even speak in Thaylen. These dealings with foreigners were overseen by one of the farmers, who are high-ranking members of Shin society.
In exchange for Soulcast scrap metal, he often traded chickens, cloth, and exotic dried meats to Vstim. Rysn noticed as she observed one of these dealings that Thresh used humility instead of boasting as a form of haggling, downplaying the importance of his wares and expecting the other side to do the same. Vstim confirmed that this was typical of Shin traders.
Nearly seven years prior to Rysn's visit to Shinovar, Thresh gave a Truthless man to Vstim. The Thaylen merchant insisted on paying for the slave, but afterwards Thresh had to throw the money away as Shin were not allowed to accept money for Truthless, who were shunned by Shin society. That Truthless was Szeth, who was later sold to the Parshendi and became known as the Assassin in White.
== Notes ==
Thude

Thude is a listener warrior living on the Shattered Plains of Roshar during the War of Reckoning. He is part of a warpair with Bila and under the command of Eshonai, in her personal division. He was friends with Rlain as well.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
==== Shardwielding ====
Thude has trained with both a Shardblade and a set of Shardplate. He is capable enough with them that Eshonai considers him to be the best candidate for them should she die.
== History ==
He meets with the Alethi to arrange a parley to discuss peace. He shows concern about the new Stormform when Eshonai returns to Narak after bonding the captive Stormspren. He objects to rounding up those who refuse to take Stormform, and escapes with the group of dissenters before they can be harmed.. They survived the highstorm and the Everstorm, leaving the Shattered Plains and going to the floodplains on the east side.

Thundercloud

Thundercloud is a chasmfiend on Roshar, and the leader of the group of chasmfiends that allied with the listeners after the War of Reckoning.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Thundercloud is the largest and most dangerous of the chasmfiends who left the Shattered Plains with the listeners. Like all chasmfiends, his face is composed of thick plating that appears like “chunks of broken rock,” and he has dark eyes that peer through junctions in the plates. His mandibles are roughly the thickness of a singer’s arms, and he can use these smaller foreclaws to pick up and carry allies--including people--over obstacles.
Thundercloud is highly intelligent and is capable of communicating with other chasmfiends and listeners via projected images and impressions. Venli can feel rhythms like Curiosity pulsing from him, and Thundercloud is able to communicate complex ideas with her, such as the relative tastiness of different foods. Thundercloud is willing to coordinate with listeners and will listen to their commands. He shows confusion at the idea of not eating humans, but trusts Venli's judgment on the matter.
== History ==
=== Post War of Reckoning ===
Thundercloud was the first chasmfiend to decide not to fight the humans and listeners. His choice inspired around fifty other chasmfiends to make peace and join the listeners, led by Thude, during the aftermath of the War of Reckoning and following the arrival of the Everstorm.
=== Second Battle of Narak ===
Thundercloud is one of the five chasmfiends who insisted on accompanying Venli and her group of listeners through the chasms on their expedition to Narak. He and the other chasmfiends assisted the listeners in navigating the chasms, using their mandibles to lift singers over obstacles.
After their discovery of the Well of Control and subsequent truce with El's army, Thundercloud and the other four chasmfiends participated in the listeners deception at the Second Battle of Narak, launching a mock assault, alongside Venli’s forces, against the humans. At Venli’s urging, he agreed not to kill or devour most of the humans, despite his natural predatory instincts. Instead, he focused on destroying fortifications--stomping through rooftops and sweeping aside walls with his tail--until the humans retreated.
== Relationships ==
=== Venli ===
Thundercloud shows direct responsiveness to Venli’s commands, trusting her judgment over his instincts regarding the consumption of humans. He carries her over obstacles in the chasms of the Shattered Plains, and allows her to ride him into battle during the Second Battle of Narak.
== Notes ==
Thunor

Thunor is a deity worshiped by the Weswarans.
Thunor is said to be the son of Woden and Friag. John West recognizes Thunor as equivalent to the Norse god Thor.
The fire that burns the Hordamen ship, accompanied by a thunderclap, when John writes a rune is called "Thunor's fire" by Sefawynn.
==Trivia==
* Thunor was the equivalent of Thor in Old English religion and mythology.
