==History==

During the [[War of Reckoning]], Dul served as a parshman in [[Alethkar]] along with his mate, [[Mazish]]. He almost never spoke to his master. He once asked if he and Mazish could be married in the human tradition, as they followed certain Alethi customs; his request was angrily denied. After the coming of the [[Everstorm]], Dul and Mazish's minds were awakened and they joined (or were conscripted into) [[Odium]]'s forces. However, they soon became some of the first singers recruited by Venli to join her resistance movement.{{book ref|sa4|51}} The couple were able to get married after they were freed.{{book ref|sa4|11}}

Dul became a friend of Venli's and one of the most trusted members of her inner circle. He was able to gain the position of [[stormsetter]] for [[Leshwi]]'s [[High Chamber]] in [[Kholinar]].{{book ref|sa4|11}} He assisted Venli with her subterfuge and maintained some level of oversight of new recruits; he advised them on how to act around the Fused.{{book ref|sa4|11}}{{book ref|sa4|51}} He was present when [[Shumin]] became Leshwi's assistant stormsetter, and subsequently attended a meeting with her in Venli's quarters. He lightly admonished Shumin for being inadequately prepared for Leshwi's tests.{{book ref|sa4|11}}

Dul and Mazish were presumably part of Venli's team that left Kholinar for [[Urithiru]] before the singers invaded the tower.{{book ref|sa4|31}} In Urithiru, Dul continued to work with Venli to try and figure out a way to escape the Fused. Although he seemed nearly demoralized at times, he continued doing whatever Venli needed him to do.{{book ref|sa4|51}} She was able to put him in charge of watching the fallen [[Knights Radiant]] after [[Raboniel]]'s partial corruption of the tower's defenses. He continued to check in with Venli, and also hoarded supplies in anticipation of fleeing the Fused.{{book ref|sa4|56}}{{book ref|sa4|96}}

Dul was among the team of fifteen singers that Venli planned to covertly evacuate to Kholinar before fleeing to the [[Shattered Plains]].{{book ref|sa4|102}} After Leshwi's rebellion and the liberation of the tower, Dul presumably went to the Shattered Plains via [[Oathgate]] with the rest of Venli's objectors, seeking to join the other [[listener]]s.{{book ref|sa4|114}}
