Nightwielder is tall with short hair, and is thought by [[David Charleston|David]] to be of Japanese descent. He is described as only being "half-there,"{{book ref|Steelheart|17}} although when he is corporeal, he looks frail. He typically has a pool of dark mist around him, although he can easily turn this mist into solid tendrils of darkness, which can be seen moving through the air. {{book ref|Steelheart|17}}{{book ref|Steelheart|37}} In his full glory, Nightwielder appears to be clothed in night, with darkness writhing around him. {{book ref|Steelheart|28}}

=== Epic Weakness ===
{{theory}}
Nightwielder becomes corporeal whenever he has UV light shining on him. This doesn't affect the large-scale darkness.{{wob ref|9037}} It has been theorized that this is due to him having had skin cancer at some point before he became an Epic.
== History==
During the unexpected encounter in [[Diamond]]'s weapon shop, David confirmed his suspicion that Nightwielder's weakness is UV by pretending to have accidentally activated a UV camera. Uncertain whether this was deliberate or not, Nightwielder chose not to attack. Nightwielder was killed by [[David Charleston]]'s exploitation of his weakness during the [[Reckoners]]' assassination of Steelheart. {{book ref|Steelheart|19}}
