I am obsessing unhealthily over the historical figures of Roshar, like the Shard holders, and the Heralds, Ishar and Jezrien and Nale and Taln especially, and the generation of the Recreance, Melishi and Garith and Shmone and all their spren, and I would've been really grateful if I had someone to obsess over them with

Szeth bent down over the body of the Alethi king. Stormlight still surged through him, invigorating him with its chill as it slowly mended his aching jaw. What was this? Beneath Gavilar's breastplate were the shattered remains of something wooden, a box perhaps, broken in the fall. Something brightly colored peaked out from amidst the splinters. Szeth reached forward hesitantly to retrieve it, and plucked the object from the bloodied corpse. A yellow scrap of cloth. Why would the king have such a thing?

PAPRUS! I HAVE REVOLUTIONARY NEW STRATEGY TO NEVER TAKE BLAME FOR ANYTHING EVER AGAIN!

i CALL IT:

BLAME EVERYTHING ON MELISHI!™

THIS PLAN IS FOOLPROOF! THE PROOF IS THAT I'M A FOOL!

Melishi was fine actually. He was acting under orders from Tanner. We have no idea what he did outside of that one thing in WaT, but he might've actually been a perfectly good Bondsmith outside of it. I think any of them would have listened to Tanner's orders, especially because they couldn't have predicted that capturing Ba-Ado-Mishram would've done all of that.

What if Melishi was in love with Garith and that's why he conspired with a god to betray a demigod and convert Garith's love into a mindless slave :)
