Au-nak and his family are devoutly [[Vorin]].{{book ref|sa1|54}} Au-nak is an outspoken and talkative person with strong beliefs. For instance, he claims that the [[Order of Talenelat]], Highprince [[Dalinar Kholin]]'s [[devotary]], is for lesser people. He is rather cynical about religious wars as he believes that every conflict, regardless of professed purpose, is economic in nature. He cites the [[Eighty's War]] as an example, since religion was used to justify the [[Emuli]] and [[Tukari]] claims on [[Sesemalex Dar]]; Au-nak believes that both sides are actually motivated by the desire to control a great port and possible [[Dawncity]].{{book ref|sa1|54}} |

+ | As an adult, Au-nak visited the [[Shattered Plains]] in {{Rosharan date|1173}} as a visiting dignitary from [[New Natanan]]. Au-nak was [[Brightlord]] [[Hatham]]'s guest, as they were negotiating a contract. During one of [[Elhokar]]'s parties, Hatham spoke to Au-nak with subservience and respect, but in reality he was attempting to manipulate him. Hatham covertly ordered one of his [[ardent]]s to insult Au-nak in conversation, even questioning his Vorin faith, and Au-nak eventually left in anger. Hatham hoped that when he followed Au-nak and persuaded him to finalize the contract, Au-nak would not be suspicious that Hatham agreed so easily to Au-nak's terms.{{book ref|sa1|54}} |
