Mraize
Status: Alive. Still collecting. Affiliation: Local leader, The Ghostbloods — the man at the actual top of the org chart Nucko spent his whole life inside without knowing it.
Overview
Mraize is what happens when “eccentric collector” and “runs an intercontinental spy cult” turn out to be the same job description. The Ghostbloods’ grand leader on Roshar, he keeps a personal trophy case of off-world oddities — reportedly including The Book of the Returned — and, per at least one very pointed warning passed along secondhand, will have you executed for touching the display case. Charming. When Nucko’s entire double-agent history came spilling out to the party, Mraize’s response wasn’t panic or damage control; it was a business proposal. Give the man credit for consistency of character even when his organization’s cover is blown wide open.
Key Moments
- Calmly confirmed to Nucko that he already knew about Kel’s disappearance and Jernah’s confession — because of course he did. This man collects secrets the way other people collect buttons.
- Struck a deal to “make amends”: let Nucko forge a duplicate of The Book of the Returned, seeded with falsified intel about Odium’s Perpendicularity, specifically to send Sebarial chasing his tail through the mountains of Shinovar instead of the real site on the Shattered Plains. Misdirecting a god-killing demigod is apparently just Tuesday for this man.
- Promoted Nucko within the organization for services rendered and promised help tracking down the last two Ghostbloods responsible for his parents’ murder — which, depending on how cynical you’re feeling, is either genuine loyalty or the world’s most patient long con. This wiki isn’t taking a side.
