'''Dukar''' is a [[stormwarden]] on [[Roshar]]. He is a member of the [[Diagram (group)|Diagram]] employed by [[Taravangian]] as head of the [[King's Testers]].{{book ref|sa3|i|5}}
 
 
== Appearance and Personality ==
 
 
Dukar is a nervous and fidgety man who usually wears a typical stormwarden robe.{{book ref|sa3|i|5}}{{book ref|sa3|122}} He is meticulous in his daily task of administering and evaluating Taravangian's tests, always taking care to ensure that the king completes the exams correctly, despite the fact that this annoys Taravangian on days when he is particularly intelligent.{{book ref|sa3|i|5}} However, on his less intelligent days, Taravangian considers Dukar a dear friend.{{book ref|sa3|122}} Dukar is extremely loyal to Taravangian and seems to care for him deeply.{{book ref|sa4|i|3}}
 
 
== History ==
 
 
Dukar presumably relocated to [[Urithiru]] when Taravangian did to administer his daily intelligence tests. On one of Taravangian's brilliant days, Dukar attempted to get him to complete the test thoroughly despite his impatience with the process. He was reluctant to allow Taravangian complete freedom for the day, seeming to understand that the king's assertion that he couldn't solve the last problem on the test was a pretense. However, after warning that Taravangian was near the danger line, both he and [[Mrall]] did agree not to impose any restrictions that day.{{book ref|sa3|i|5}}
 
   
Eight days after the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], Dukar gave Taravangian his test and had to pronounce him weak of mind. While the group in the room waited out the [[Everstorm]], Dukar debated the interpretation of certain parts of the [[Diagram (literature)|Diagram]] with [[Adrotagia]] and Mrall. He wondered aloud if [[Graves]]' thought regarding [[Dalinar Kholin]] was right, but Taravangian disagreed; as the king struggled to think, Dukar went on to express his fear of the dangerous situation the Diagram faced after Taravangian's revelation to Dalinar about his role in [[Szeth]]'s failed assassination attempts.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
+
Dukar is a dedicated member of the Diagram and discusses its meaning with fellow Diagramists [[Adrotagia]] and [[Mrall]]. He doesn’t wholeheartedly believe in Taravangian's interpretations of the Diagram and speculates that [[Graves]]'s interpretation may have been correct. He is keenly aware of the dangerous situation the Diagram faces after Taravangian's revelation to [[Dalinar Kholin]] about his role in [[Szeth]]'s failed assassination attempts.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
   
When the Diagram was disbanded, Dukar wished to stay with Taravangian and continue testing him. The king, both knowing that after his betrayal in [[Emul]] the tests held no further purpose and fearing that anyone close to him would be punished, used his authority to command Dukar to leave. Dukar returned to Kharbranth with the rest of Taravangian's former attendants and friends.{{book ref|sa4|i|3}}

When the Diagram is disbanded, Dukar wishes to stay with Taravangian and continue testing him, but he is commanded to leave. Taravangian believes that after his betrayal in [[Emul]], the tests will no longer be useful, and anyone remaining close to him will be punished.{{book ref|sa4|i|3}}
