Au-nak was [[Brightlord]] [[Hatham]]'s guest, as they were negotiating a contract. During one of [[Elhokar]]'s parties, Hatham spoke with subservience and respect in their conversation, but in reality he was manipulating Au-nak for some unknown purpose. Hatham had one of his [[ardent]]s insult Au-nak during the conversation, to the point where Au-nak left in anger. Hatham hoped that when he followed Au-nak and persuaded him to still agree to the contract, Au-nak would not be suspicious that Hatham agreed so easily to Au-naks terms. |

For instance, he claims that the [[Order of Talenelat]], Highprince [[Dalinar Kholin]]'s [[devotary]], is for lesser people. He is rather cynical about religion, he believes that every conflict, regardless of professed purpose, is economic in nature. For instance, Au-nak believes that that the [[Eighty's War]] was not over religion, but over the fact that [[Sesemalex Dar]], which Au-nak believes to be a [[Dawncity]], is a great port. |
