Renders

Renders are a type of Blessed who possess mastery over the Soul. They believe it is Sol’s will that fragments of his Breath always stay in a state of flow and consider the Weavers' Manifestations abominations. It is therefore a Render’s duty to keep the flow of breath flowing on unhindered and they destroy emets whenever they encounter them with their Glass blades. Despite their ideals, most Renders understand the general populous has affection for benevolent emets (engels) and consequently try to keep their hunting to malevolent emets (ghuls).

Using their ability to draw, Renders are capable of controlling the bodies and movements of others by controlling the Breath within them. They can also draw the Breath of a person outside their body and sever it with their daggers, causing instantaneous death. In addition to this, some powerful Renders can also separate their own fourth Breath, containing it in a Glass eye they replace one of their own with. When they wish, they can send this extra Breath out into the world as an invisible observer traveling at incredible speeds. While their fourth Breath is absent, a Render is without his or her powers. The only ability they have remaining is the ability to summon the Breath back, learning everything it witnessed during its absence.

The most infamous of the Renders is Graff, a relentless monster who has killed hundreds of people during and after the Grand War.
