Kaz is not Grisha, nor is he a soldier, an assassin, a spy, or a sharpshooter — he's a club owner with a sharp sense of style and a trademark cane in the shape of a crow. But he is still Shadow and Bone's most dangerous player.
Kaz is skilled at lockpicking, card tricks, and sleight of hand. These abilities are so complex that Matthias often calls him demjin, meaning demon.
Kaz orders Jesper to use his powers to separate the rubber from her skin. The rest of the team is shocked to learn that Jesper is a Grisha.
Jesper is a Grisha Fabrikator (Durast), though in Novyi Zem he and other Grisha are referred to as zowa, meaning "blessed". However, Jesper remains untrained, so his power is not properly honed and rather weak.
Kaz suffers from a condition called haphephobia — an intense fear of being touched. This stems from trauma he suffered in his childhood, after he and his older brother first arrived in Ketterdam.
'Shadow and Bone' makes room for Kaz's asexual identity, one that can exist within his desire for intimacy with Inej Ghafa.
Answer and Explanation: Six of Crows takes place in a fantasy world with a limited understanding of mental and emotional disorders, so Jesper is never officially diagnosed with ADHD. However, his behavior lines up with many of the symptoms of ADHD.
Alina Starkov is a Sun Summoner, which is the rarest and most powerful Grisha to ever exist. Sun Summoners are able to summon and bend light, and it's the only power that is able to destroy shadow and fight back against The Shadow Fold. Alina can also summon heat from the sun.
During the Shadow Fold crossing, volcra attack the sandskiff, but Alina lets out a burst of light killing the volcra in order to save Malyen. Better known as the Sun Summoner, Alina is the protagonist of the series. As one of the most powerful Grisha, she is the only one capable of saving Ravka from the Fold.
Nina is a Grisha Corporalnik. Initially, she is a trained Heartrender.
Jesper falls for Wylan and has no idea Kuwei likes him, so it turns into a hilarious dilemma when Wylan and Kuwei have to take on the same appearance for decoy purposes, and Jesper accidentally kisses Kuwei.
Jesper hides being Grisha because his mother died using her Grisha powers to save a young girl, and it destroyed him!
In the book Six of Crows, Jesper reveals his identity as a Grisha. He is a particular type of Grisha known as a Durast—a Materialki or Fabrikator. Basically, he has the ability to use the Small Science in order to control objects like glass, metal, and some particularly sharp rocks.
Skills and abilities
Because of her background as an acrobat, Inej has excellent climbing skills, agility, and body coordination. She also has a gift for stealth, never making any sound as she moves. She is deadly with her knives and can kill and incapacitate as needed.
Frederick James Carter is an English actor and director. He stars as Kaz Brekker in the Netflix fantasy series Shadow and Bone (2021–). He previously played Peter (Pin) Hawthorne in Free Rein (2017–2019), also on Netflix.
Grisha are known to age more slowly than humans because channeling their natural element rejuvenates them; those who do not practice much will grow weaker and die faster.
Zoya is well known and considered to be a powerful witch by the drüskelle. Zoya later gained the abilities of all Etherealki and also demonstrated passable skill as a Fabrikator. After bonding with Juris, Zoya can shapeshift into a dragon. Zoya is fluent in Kerch, Shu and Suli in addition to her native Ravkan.
It is unknown if other Grisha can harness this power or if it's specific to Baghra, the Darkling, and Alina, as other Sun Summoners have not been mentioned to use the Cut. No other type of Etherealki are shown to use the Cut either.
As the Shadow Summoner, the Darkling is one of the most powerful (if not the most powerful) Grisha to have ever lived. His great power is what allows him to live as long as he does — the more he uses his Grisha abilities, which can rejuvenate and strengthen the body, the longer his lifespan becomes.
In Shadow and Bone, age is often heavily tied to the amount of magical power a person has, making the Grisha able to live the longest. Along with this, the stronger the practitioner, and the more they utilize their Grisha powers in Shadow and Bone, the...
Jesper is mad that Kaz asked Wylan to transform and mad at Wylan for following through with it. Kaz chastises Jesper for being the one who gave their heist attempt away to Pekka Rollins when he mentioned it during a card game before they left town. It was an innocent mistake but stupid at the same time.
He is in a romantic relationship with Wylan van Eck. Jesper is a main character of the Six of Crows duology.
Kaz's power may not be brute strength or the gift of the Small Science, but he has something even rarer: his incomparable intelligence. He has an impeccable talent for observation, for spotting what others wouldn't even spare a glance.
