He dislikes being surprised and one-upped by others, and is highly suspicious of strangers.{{msh ref|3|2}} This being said, he seems to enjoy excitement, vastly preferring fighting for his life to quiet study and scholarship. He can still be incredibly patient, and does have the mind to be scholarly, at least for a while, but he dislikes people who speak in riddles and flowery language, preferring that people get to the point.{{file ref|Alethi Glyphs Page 1.jpg|text=Alethi Glyphs}}{{wob ref|13016}}
He's often frustrated with tasks he's given, but will always accomplish them to the best of his abilities, even if they appear impossible.{{map ref|Frostlands}} Despite his frequent complaints, he seems to enjoy the worlds he visits, and finds the prospect of their destruction saddening. He can be condescending to others, especially people who aren't [[cosmere]]-aware, and gets annoyed when they're in the way of his missions.{{msh ref|3|2}}{{file ref|Bridge Four
Nazh seems to enjoy drinking, and is familiar with various types of alcohol.{{file ref|Rosharan Wines.jpg|text=Rosharan wines}} He keeps track of what is owed to him fairly strictly.{{map ref|Sea of Lost Lights}}{{ref|name=Pattern}} His favorite food is a fried eggplant-like plant native to Threnody.{{wob ref|8328}}

Nazh is a skilled artist, able to read and draw Rosharan [[glyph]]s from just seeing them on moving people.{{file ref|Bridge Four
Like many [[worldhopper]]s, Nazh has some way to slow down or halt his aging. He seems to have some other powers as well, being able to dive to the bottom of the ocean to recover a bunch of drawings.{{ref|name=Pattern}} He might have some sort of ability to either heal himself or withstand superhuman amounts of damage, as he's not afraid of jumping down over a hundred feet.{{ref|name=nab}} He has some skills that make him a natural fit for the scouting and thievery he does for Khriss, but what those are and whether any of them are magical or supernatural are unknown.{{wob ref|13587}}

He spent a longer while infiltrating the [[Calligraphers Guild]], as Khriss wished to learn its secrets. Though he disliked the work, he eventually managed to find out the mystery, and discovered that the "deep, dark secret" of the guild was that the glyphs could be read phonetically. He ribbed Khriss about it, joking that she likely expected something more esoteric.{{file ref|Alethi Glyphs Page 1.jpg|Alethi Glyphs}} He eventually stole a scroll explaining duelling stances from the Guild and fled, pursued by an [[axehound]].{{file ref|Scroll of Stances.jpeg|Scroll of Stances}} Either before or after that happened, he found the time to experiment with Rosharan alcohols, getting so drunk on [[Horneater white]], he ended up getting a tattoo of an embarrassing [[glyph]].{{wob ref|11012}}
He or Khriss seemed to have some interest in [[Shallan]] and her journey; he marked where she made landfall on the map of [[Frostlands]], and dove to retrieve some of her old drawings from the bottom of the sea.{{map ref|Frostlands}}{{ref|name=Pattern}} He was also apparently interested in [[Kaladin]] on Khriss' behalf. In 1173, he was in the [[Alethi]] warcamps on the [[Shattered Plains]], where he observed the recently-freed [[Bridge Four]] to sketch the glyphs tattooed on their foreheads, as well as their uniform insignia and [[Kaladin]]'s slave brands.{{file ref|Bridge Four
While in the camps, he snatched [[Shallan]]'s symmetrical map of the Plains, though he refused to provide Khriss with a detailed one showing every plateau, as he'd have to create it himself.{{file ref|Shattered Plains WoR map.jpeg|text=Shattered Plains map}} He also gained access to [[Navani's journal]] and reproduced the [[ketek]] on its cover.{{book ref|sa2|endnote}} He might've been present at [[Shallan]] and [[Adolin]]'s wedding, as he also learned the ketek that [[Jasnah]] had composed for the occasion.{{book ref|sa3|endnote}}
