“ I hate them. But I try to hate everyone. That way, I don't risk leaving out anyone particularly deserving. ”
— Sebarial to Shallan Davar[1]
Highprince Turinad[2] Sebarial is a highprince of Alethkar on Roshar. His banner, colored gold on black, consists of the sebes and laial glyphs stylized as a skyeel.[1]
Sebarial's princedom lies in southern Alethkar.[3] A large force of civilians, in lieu of soldiers, comprise his warcamp at the Shattered Plains;[1] it is the southernmost, approximately an hour from Dalinar's via carriage.[4]
Appearance and Personality
Sebarial is plump and bearded. He is outwardly a very obnoxious, rude, lazy, and vulgar man and comes across as a fool, though he is actually quite intelligent and very sly. He avoids publicly showing his interest in Alethi politics, but privately he does pay some attention.[5]
Though Sebarial himself is not very religious, his ardents are quite devout.[6] Likewise, though he himself is useless in battle, he sees to it that his soldiers are well trained. Sebarial's genius is that he knows how to hire the right people for a job.[7]

History
Vengeance Pact
“You sly eel. While the others fight a war, you’ve been building an economy. ”
—Shallan to Sebarial[1]
Sebarial accompanied the other Alethi highprinces to the Shattered Plains in pursuit of the Vengeance Pact. However, because he recognized that the battles for the gemhearts meant Alethkar would never completely abandon the warcamps, he preferred to focus on building mills, farms, and other manufactories in lieu of participating in plateau runs; his burgeoning economy supported markets, fully constructed tenements, and even lavis fields to the southwest of the camp. His warcamp, reflecting his prediction of Alethkar's semi-permanent presence there, was built much more like a city than any of the others, with straight streets and buildings designed with rounded roofs, corners, and sides to better repel winds from highstorms.[1][4]
After the Assassin in White's first attempt on, ostensibly, King Elhokar's life, the king and the highprinces convened to discuss matters. Sebarial, whose contributions to the meetings were confined to snacking and making pithy remarks, was faced with an unexpected opportunity when Shallan Davar arrived in the middle of the meeting and sought a way to avoid living under Dalinar's watchful eye, claiming that Sebarial had been the first to offer her a place to stay on the Shattered Plains. Observing the way the others had been trying to snatch her up, he claimed a distant relation to Shallan and confirmed her story.[5] After sharing a carriage ride back to his warcamp, Sebarial gave Shallan rooms in his manor and a position as one of his clerks.[1]
Battle of Narak
Sebarial was one of the three highprinces to accompany Dalinar out onto the Shattered Plains.[8] Though he did not partake in the fighting, he helped organize the army as they moved towards the Oathgate.[9]
Relationships
Palona
“Bah! Woman, you make me the most henpecked man in all of Alethkar, and I'm not even storming married! ”
Palona is Sebarial's Herdazian mistress. She calls him "Turi." And also sometimes "the idiot." She has a much more active hand in running the day-to-day workings of the manor that Sebarial does. They enjoy witty banter and seem genuinely fond of each other despite their outward griping.[1]
Shallan
“It could be worse... I could be boring as well as expensive. ”
Shallan Davar maneuvers Sebarial into hosting her when she arrives on the Shattered Plains, gambling that he would agree to take her in if he sees it as an opportunity to get one up on Dalinar. He claims a distant relation to her, and she begins calling him "Uncle Sebarial." She also specifies a large weekly stipend of three broams, which Palona ensures that they pay.[5]
Quotes
“ I've got a feeling about you, Dalinar old man. I think it's wise to stay close to you. Something's going to happen out there on the Plains, and opportunity rises like the dawn. ”
“ Onward, then! To glory and some such nonsense. If we find riches, remember that I get my part! I got here before Aladar. That has to count for something. ”
“ Trust a coward to know the smartest way to stay out of fighting. ”
