"I write these words in steel, for anything not set in metal cannot be trusted. I have begun to wonder if I am the only sane man remaining. Can the others not see? They have been waiting so long for their hero to come— the one spoken of in Terris prophecies— that they quickly jump between conclusions, presuming that each story and legend applies to this one man. My brethren ignore the other facts. They cannot connect the other strange things that are happening. They are deaf to my objections and blind to my discoveries. Perhaps they are right. Perhaps I am mad, or jealous, or simply daft. My name is Kwaan. Philosopher, scholar, traitor. I am the one who discovered Alendi, and I am the one who first proclaimed him to be the Hero of Ages. I am the one who started this all. And I am the one who betrayed him, for I now know that he must never be allowed to complete his quest. I write this record now, pounding it into a metal slab, because I am afraid. Afraid for myself, yes—I admit to being human. If Alendi does return from the Well of Ascension, I am certain that my death will be one of his first objectives. He is not an evil man, but he is a ruthless one. That is, I think, a product of what he has been through. I am also afraid, however, that all I have known—that my story—will be forgotten. I am afraid for the world that is to come. Afraid that my plans will fail. Afraid of a doom worse, even, than the Deepness"

- Kwaan's Inscription

Summary
Kwaan, also known as the Announcer was a Worldbringer of Terris prior to the Final Empire on Scadrial.

History
Some time before the Ascension, he found that a Khlenni man named Alendi very closely fit the Terris Prophecies. He was also the first of the Worldbringers to announce Alendi as the Hero of Ages.

It is known that at this time he was studying the Cognitive Aspects of trees.

Around a decade after the announcing of Alendi, he began to realize that there were discrepancies between his memory of the prophecies, and the information stored in his Copperminds. Through what was manipulated, he was able to piece together that there was something inside the Well which would be released by Alendi if he were to do what he was ordered to. Therefore, he sent his nephew, Rashek, in order to stop him.

He made a metal inscription in the what came to be known as the Conventical of Seran, describing his discoveries. This would later be found a millennium later by Sazed and be used by him and his friends in order to discover the ability of Ruin to manipulate information.

Following the Ascension of Rashek, he was given the offer to become one of the First Generation of Kandra, though he refused this offer. Believing it to be a betrayal of who they were as a people. Rashek was enraged and would have smote him, but he was unable to do so due to Preservation's Intent. After his power was used up, he hunted down and killed Kwaan.
