Luesh is a quiet presence behind the workings of House Davar, a steward trusted with both counsel and a rare, demanding skill. The small mark of three diamonds associated with him hints at a world of private loyalties, though his own character remains largely out of view.

Luesh serves as Brightlord Davar’s steward and advisor, and is trained to use the family’s Soulcaster. He is found dead in his sleep, wearing a pendant marked with three diamonds; the same symbol appears tattooed on the hand of a visitor. Shallan later remembers him as the steward who knew how to operate the Soulcaster, preserving his significance in her account of the household.
Description
The text gives no description of Luesh’s face, skin, hair, eyes, age, or build. His only stated distinguishing visual detail is a pendant bearing a three-diamond symbol. No clothing or other features are established, so a faithful depiction should leave them unspecified.
