"I know pain. I am the only god who does. The only one who cares."

- Rayse



Summary
Rayse is the first Vessel of the Shard Odium, the Shard of Passion and Hatred. He was one of the Sixteen individuals who acted in the Shattering of Adonalsium.

Known and feared for not Investing himself in an individual planet, but rather traveling across The Cosmere and killing and Splintering every other Shard he came across. But in his battle against Honor and  Cultivation he was bound to the planet of Braize via the Oathpact, and would spend the next millennia trying to escape his bondage.

His influence was felt across the entire Rosharan System for these years, the Unmade, Voidspren, and the Fused becoming a blight upon the world with every Desolation.

He ultimately perished and had his Shard taken from him by Taravangian.

Vessel of Odium = "It was hatred. A deep, pulsing hatred with a pressure to turn all things molten. It was the heat of a thousand suns, it was the bliss of every kiss, it was the lives of all men wrapped up in one, defined by everything they felt."

- Dalinar describing Odium

As the Vessel of Odium he is a being of extreme power, only comparable to other Shards, but he is the most feared amongst them for his aggression, going around and killing other Shards over his years of godhood. Splintering Devotion ,  Dominion  ,  Ambition , and  Honor.

Splintering
As mentioned before, Rayse holds a deep knowledge of how to Splinter a Shard, something that not all Vessels possess. He used this to Splinter four separate Shards in his attempts to become the sole god in the Cosmere.

Immortality
As a Vessel he gained a form of Immortality, never ageing and exceptionally difficult to kill. Shards, him included, have been shown to be able to live for thousands of years if no other being comes to kill them.

Though he was ultimately able to be killed by Nightblood when it was wielded by Taravangian, due to the unique nature of the blade.

Future Sight
He is capable of seeing far into the future, well enough to make The Diagram look meagre in comparison.

The future is hard to see for Shards, or for any version of future sight, when faced with another being capable of seeing the future, and that the further one looks the harder it is to make out the future.

Voidlight
He has access to a essentially endless supply of Investiture known as Voidlight, which is manifested in the Everstorm and given to the Fused. As with all Investiture, whenever it is used it would be filtered back to the Spiritual Realm for him to use once again. However, it is finite

This is used to power all of his powers.

Visions
He was capable of penetrating into Dalinar's Visions from Honor
