+ | Alalhawithador's appearance is unknown; it communicates with the other Sleepless in a low, angry buzz. It is aggressive, and eager to rush to the most violent solution; [[Nikli]] considers it to be the most volatile of all Rosharan swarms. Nonetheless, Alalhawithador appreciates Nikli's fondness for humans, although this is mostly because it believes this will let Nikli blend in among them much better. When faced with failure, Alalhawithador is acerbic and accusatory.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} |

| ⚫ | Alalhawithador is a [[Sleepless]], a hive mind of hordelings, which it can breed to fulfill specific purposes.{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} As its cognitive functions are spread across multiple hordelings, this makes it effectively immortal.{{book ref|sa3.5|18}} Indeed, despite being the third swarm to have been Separated from the original, Alalhawithador is still alive.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} |

| ⚫ | Despite -- or perhaps because of -- its old age, Alalhawithador considers itself bad at imitating humans; or, at least, far worse at it than Nikli. However, it's confident in its combat skills, and believes itself capable of killing a whole crew of humans, including two [[Knights Radiant]].{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} |

| − | Alalhawithador was the third Sleepless to [[Sleepless#Reproduction|Separate]] from [[Yelamaiszin]], the first swarm to settle on Roshar. Alalhawithador is almost as old as Yelmaiszin; it is likely more than four thousand years old, and possibly much older.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} Over the millennia, it was one of the swarms that remained loyal to Yelamaiszin and helped protect [[Akinah]] and its hidden [[Dawnshard]] after the [[Scouring of Aimia]]. Older swarms like Alalhawithador are exceptionally knowledgeable, but bear the burden of many difficult memories.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} |

| + | Alalhawithador is the third Sleepless to have been Separated after the species came to the planet, making it almost as old as the First, [[Yelamaiszin]].{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} Over the millennia, it remained loyal to Yelamaiszin and helped protect [[Akinah]] and its hidden [[Dawnshard]].{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} |
||
| ⚫ | When ''[[Wandersail (1174 ship)|Wandersail]]'' sailed for Akinah, Alalhawithador went along with Nikli's initial plan to simply warn them off with manufactured omens. However, after the second attempt failed, it lost patience and began to push for killing all humans on board. When the swarms got sidetracked into discussing humans at large, Alalhawithador pulled them back on track, and pointed out that ''[[First Dreams]]'', the ship whose recovery prompted the expedition, was likely deliberately placed so that someone would find it.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} |
||
| − | Alalhawithador's plans for the crew of the ''Wandersail'' involved letting them attempt to breach the storm surrounding Akinah; if they managed to survive and land on the beach, it believed the Sleepless could easily kill them all. Other Sleepless agreed with this plan, but Nikli was eventually given one more try to dissuade the crew.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} |
||
| + | Alalhawithador's plans for the crew of ''Wandersail'' involved letting them make landing on the beach and then letting its swarm kill them all.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} While this plan was initially dismissed, it's likely that Alalhawithador participated in the battle between the humans and the Sleepless before [[Rysn]] was able to forge a truce.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}{{book ref|sa3.5|17}} |
||
| − | As a loyal follower of Yelamaiszin, Alalhawithador presumably honored the treaty that was reached with [[Rysn]] and [[Cord]] after the discovery of Akinah's secrets.{{book ref|sa3.5|19}} |
