RIght, so you know how Sanderson does annotations for his books on his website? He's doing Warbreaker right now. Anyway, he has this to say about Clod the Lifeless (the one employed by Denth and his Merry Band of Mercenaries):
Okay okay, this is normal. Figured it out on my own.
Oh that's interesting, cool! I wish some more of this had been in the book. Can't wait for the sequel!
WHAT THE FUUUU aaaaaaaaargh where did I leave my brain bleach??
SO GROSS. It's a reanimated dead body stuffed with alcohol instead of blood!!! Urrrrrrgh.
Yes, Clod is Arsteel, in case you were wondering. After Vasher killed him, Denth's team decided to have him made into a Lifeless. Partially because Denth was curious if it was possible, and partially because Arsteel was such a capable warrior that they knew he'd make for an excellently skilled Lifeless. It isn't as good as having Arsteel himself, of course, but Clod is probably the greatest Lifeless swordfighter in existence right now in the entire world.
Okay okay, this is normal. Figured it out on my own.
Another tidbit that never comes up is that Jewels was in love with Arsteel, which is the primary reason she joined Denth's team in the first place. Arsteel joined it because he wanted to try to redeem Denth; he felt that a reconciliation between Denth and Vasher was possible, and as a peacemaker, he thought he might be able to make it happen. As for why Vasher killed him . . . well, I'm afraid that's another story that will have to wait for the sequel.
Oh that's interesting, cool! I wish some more of this had been in the book. Can't wait for the sequel!
Jewels is still in love with him. And yes, she still sleeps with him on occasion. And yes, she's a little bit unhinged emotionally and mentally because of his death.
WHAT THE FUUUU aaaaaaaaargh where did I leave my brain bleach??
SO GROSS. It's a reanimated dead body stuffed with alcohol instead of blood!!! Urrrrrrgh.
Insert theme music here.

Well, hell. I never thought I'd see necrophilia in a Sanderson book. *NM*

I think that's why I was so taken aback ... usually his stuff is so squeaky clean. *NM*
