As a character, Elhokar is almost as old as [[Dalinar]], and the two had always been nephew and uncle. In the earliest story featuring him, Elhokar, along with proto-Jasnah, is kidnapped when the proto-Gavilar is killed, leaving Jared (the early version of Dalinar) to take the reins of the kingdom. After the prince and the princess are rescued, Jared retains control, taking the time to teach Elhokar how to be a proper ruler.{{bws ref|its-here-2|It's Here|post|pre|date=2010-8-31}} |

+ | The next known incarnation of Elhokar appears in ''[[The Way of Kings Prime]]'', the first draft of what would become [[The Stormlight Archive]]. There, Elhokar participates in the same battle as Merin (proto-[[Kaladin]]). Sheneras, the eldest of Dalinar's three sons (since written out) dies to protect him, and when that is not enough, Merin steps in and saves his life, winning Shards in the process.{{book ref|wok'|1}} This version of Elhokar is already established as a bad king (and a significantly worse person overall); at the end of ''The Way of Kings Prime'', Dalinar is forced to kill him. Brandon, however, decided to leave him alive for a short while, deciding that the interplay between the two would be more interesting.{{wob ref|11552}} |
Nonetheless, Elhokar had always been intended to die, even if the circumstances around his death changed.{{wob ref|9273}} In the final version of the story, Brandon killed him off in order to showcase [[Moash]]'s descent into villainy.{{wob ref|12645}} |
