== Appearance and Personality ==
During a trip to the Shattered Plains with the listeners, Gavilar brought a retinue of attendants. Axindweth, who was allegedly a surgeon's assistant, approached Eshonai and asked her what she saw when she looked at the spren. Eshonai noted that she wore a great deal of rings on her right hand, which seemed impractical. Later, when Eshonai pulled out her hunting knife to cut something, Axindweth asked if she can take a closer look at it. She beckoned Gavilar over, then theorized that Eshonai's knife must date back to the False Desolation.{{book ref|sa4|48}}
 
Axindweth wears a traditional [[Alethi]] [[havah]] on both occasions where she interacts with [[Venli]] and [[Eshonai]]. Though Axindweth is ambitious and has a thirst for knowledge, as demonstrated by her questions to the [[listener]]s and her conversation with Venli, she knows when to withdraw before getting into trouble.{{book ref|sa4|77}}{{book ref|sa4|52}}
After Venli and Eshonai's family moved into an abandoned city on the Shattered Plains, defeating the family of listeners that held it beforehand, Axindweth appeared again with Gavilar's retinue. She found Venli sitting outside the city, staring at the broken plateaus below. She conversed with Venli in the listener tongue, much to Venli's surprise, and said that she's always been good at languages. Introducing herself as Axindweth, she asked if Venli would like to learn to obtain a form of power. Despite Venli's protests, she questioned the listeners' faith in their ancestors. Finally, she enticed Venli into her offer by suggesting there are forms of power that can heal someone. As Venli expressed shock, Axindweth withdrew a blood-red, glowing gemstone from her safehand sleeve. She instructed Venli to take the gem and break it in a storm to find the answers she seeks, then left.{{book ref|sa4|52}}

She is likely a [[Terris]]woman and a [[Feruchemist]], since she wears a large number of rings that serve as metalminds. Axindweth can easily learn and speak different languages, owing to her Feruchemy and her metalminds.{{book ref|sa4|77}}{{book ref|sa4|52}}

Axindweth, who was allegedly a surgeon's assistant, approached [[Eshonai]] and asked her what she saw when she looked at thesome [[windspren]], and asked her whether or not she'd seen some spren acting like people, or some who talked to her. Eshonai noted that she wore a great deal of rings on her right hand, which seemed impractical. Later, when Eshonai pulled out her hunting knife to cut something, Axindweth asked if she cancould take a closer look at it.

{{for|Assassination of Gavilar}}
 
At the feast that Gavilar held to celebrate the treaty between the listeners and humans' treatyAlethi, Venli and [[Ulim]] searched for a bag of gemstones that Axindweth left in the palace for Venli's scholars. Venli asked Ulim where Axindweth iswas. Ulim insisted that Axindweth hadn't contacted him in a few days, but promised she'lld leave more gemstones at the rendezvous point. Once Venli and Ulim reached the rendezvous point, a privy room, they found a ciphered note from Axindweth in an empty chamber pot. In the note, Axindweth wrote that she'd been discovered by [[Gereh|another one]] of her kind, who iswas an agent working for a different entity. This counteragentagent turned Gavilar against her, and soon after, Axindweth fled [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa4|77}}
