Tabaar
MinorThere's something deeply wrong about the way his face sits where it shouldn't, a wrongness that lingers even when he takes human shape.
Tabaar emerges in the Mistborn saga as a haunting, chimeric presence—his face fused to the head of an ornisaur, speaking through its beak—before revealing himself as a Faceless Immortal capable of manifesting in human form. Across the series, he transitions from a cryptic, otherworldly observer to an active participant in discussions about the boundaries between the physical and ghostly realms, hinting at deeper knowledge of the afterlife and the mechanisms of entry. His evolution reflects a shift from enigmatic messenger to a figure with agency in the metaphysical struggles that define the later Mistborn era.
