Neturo was a Shin. His father was Vallano. Neturo fathered Szeth.[2] He worked as a shepherd in his youth. Szeth believes he is still alive in Shinovar,[1] though Taravangian says Neturo is dead.[3]

Character[]

Szeth describes his father as the bearer of a different sword, a different burden.[1] Szeth remembers time with his father as a simple one, before his family had been given to the Honorblades. After that, his gentle father had been taught to kill.[1]

Notes[]

Something adverse occurred between Neturo and his son, because Szeth prefers to be known as Szeth-son-son-Vallano rather than Szeth-son-Neturo. Alternatively, this may be due to the fact that Szeth does not wish to shame his father with his status as Truthless.[citation needed]
