== History ==
He traveled on the ''[[Wind's Pleasure|The Wind's Pleasure]]'' with [[Shallan]] and was selected by the [[Tozbek|captain]] to accompany her to the [[Kharbranth]] Conclave where she would meet [[Jasnah]] for the first time. He earns her trust, and she asks him to wait for her, giving him a ruby mark.{{book ref|sa1|3}} When she comes out of the Conclave and lets him know Jasnah rejected her, he convinces her to try a third time and helps her find a book merchant. While she was shopping, he came into the shop and helped her get a much better price for the books.{{book ref|sa1|8}}
 
His crew is selected by Jasnah for taking her and Shallan to the [[Shattered Plains]]. Yalb helps the latter go underwater to see a [[santhid]], a rare sea animal.{{book ref|sa2|1}} ''The ''Wind's Pleasure'' later picked up a [[new kid|new member]] for the crew at [[Amydlatn]],{{book ref|sa2|6}} who was actually hired by [[Tyn]] to kill Jasnah.{{book ref|sa2|34}} During aan attack carried out by [[Tyn]]'s assassins, a number of sailors were killed and the rest likely drowned when Shallan soulcast the ship into water to try to save them.{{book ref|sa2|7}} As a result, Yalb is presumed dead.{{book ref|sa2|7}} However, shortly after the sinking of the ''The Wind's Pleasure'', Shallan sketches [[Shalash]] destroying a statue of herself, despite having no knowledge of Shalash's actions post-[[Aharietiam]]; at the same time, she also does a sketch that shows Yalb and a few other crew members helping each other out of the water near a rocky shoreline. Shallan dismisses this sketch as simply the product of a worried mind, however,{{book ref|sa2|30}} and, when depressed by her role in the death of [[Grund]], thinks of Yalb as dead.{{book ref|sa3|82}}▼

After the sinking of the ''[[Wind's Pleasure|The Wind's Pleasure]]'', Yalb survived along with two other sailors. He was not able to sail with the other survivors as rumors have spread that the ''Wind's Pleasure'' was a ghost ship and sailors were uncomfortable sailing with them. Yalb found himself working on a ship under CapitanCaptain [[Smta]] alongside [[Alethi]] sailors. He gave a traditional sailor's welcome, complete with hazing, to [[Dok]], one such Alethi sailor. As he was convincing Dok of the existence of [[sailorspren]], Yalb spotted the crewless ''[[First Dreams]]''.Yalb was tasked to board this ship due to his experience with ghost ships. A search returned with nothing of value but Yalb believes that the value of the ship itself in war means the captain will put him on it to bring it home.{{book ref|sa3.5|prologue}}▼

== Relationships ==
Like all sailors, he has a flirting way with Shallan that makes her blush, even though she is of much higher rank than he is.{{book ref|sa1|3}}
He translated the driver’s city information for her and later confronts the driver for wanting to increase the price and split the earnings with him. She treated him as a master servant, and instead of being offended he laughed. She gave him a ruby mark out of gratitude and asked him to wait for her.{{book ref|sa1|3}}
He later convinces her to try one more time to become Jasnah’sJasnah's ward and helped her find a bookstore and a good price for the books. She pays him with a portrait of him with the porter. By the end they do seem to be fond of each other.{{book ref|sa1|8}}
She kept a sketch of him and his figure was used by her when creating the army to fight [[Odium]]; he was displayed with a glowing Shardspear.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
