* It's been heavily speculated (and may sometimes be noted as a fact) that Kalak is the man accompanying [[Nale]] during the feast prior to the [[Assassination of Gavilar]]. This is, however, yet to be explicitely confirmed.
* Though his name became "Kelek" due to linguistic drift, Kalak is one of three Heralds, alongside [[Shalash]] and [[Pailiah]], whose names are symmetrical under [[Vorin]] rules.
* Kalak is one of the only three Heralds so far to have a viewpoint in ''[[The Stormlight Archive]]'', the others being Shalash and [[Taln]], as the Prelude is written from his perspective. However, unlike the other two, he isn't slated to have his own book.
