Dassem Ultor is remembered as the Emperor's First Sword and a major military figure. He accepted Hood's offer to become the Knight of Death, but was later murdered and renounced the title. The book also refers to him as dead, with his body sought among the rubble of Y'Ghatan; beyond these fragments, his personal history remains largely offstage.
