Editing Ishikk

|first appeared=[[The Way of Kings]]

He usually wears lake sandals and knee-length breeches. He has chin stubble, and goes shirtless in order to maximize his exposure to the sun.{{book ref|sa1|i|1}} As he is native to the [[Purelake]], he presumably has the rippled skin of the [[Selay]] people.{{book ref|sa1|52}}

Like many Purelakers, Ishikk lives life at a slow pace and does not understand why foreigners are always in a hurry. He is very pragmatic; he enjoys his life in the Purelake and is usually focused on his fishing. As is common for his people, he prefers to be in the sunlight; he also likes to submerge his feet in water at all times, even while eating inside of buildings. He cannot fathom why people live in colder regions of [[Roshar]], but he is also glad that the Purelake is not crowded. He speaks Selay and does not have any interest in learning other languages.{{book ref|sa1|i|1}}

Ishikk is very experienced with the ecology of the [[Purelake]]. He is able to move through the lake with ease, avoiding natural hazards. He is observant of the tides and is able to shelter himself during [[highstorm]]s. He is particularly knowledgeable regarding the fish that live in the lake. His expertise includes exotic fish such as the [[stumpy cort]] and [[kolgril]] that seem to have supernatural abilities,{{book ref|sa1|i|1}} through bonds with [[spren]].{{wob ref|2109}}

Ishikk spent most of his time on his own, rafting around the [[Purelake]] and fishing. He caught some common fish, but primarily sought more unusual species. He usually slept on his raft in [[Fu Abra]], but enjoyed visiting other places in the Purelake. He did not wish to be tied down by a wife and frequently gave [[kolgril]] and other valuable fish to [[Maib]], the owner of a cafe that he frequented, to ensure that she wouldn't have the leverage to bully him into a marriage. He admitted that he liked her food and that someday he might let her catch him.{{book ref|sa1|i|1}}

At some point towards the end of the [[Era of Solitude]], Ishikk was approached by three unusual men. Their appearance was not consistent with any [[Roshar]]an ethnicities. Believing that they had given him false names, Ishikk instead called them "Grump", "Blunt", and "Thinker" based on their personalities.{{book ref|sa1|i|1}} The trio were in fact [[worldhoppers]] and agents of the [[Seventeenth Shard]]—[[Galladon]] from [[Sel]], [[Baon]] from [[Taldain]], and [[Demoux]] from [[Scadrial]].{{wob ref|12809}}{{wob ref|7910}} Ishikk found them odd, but he felt that way about most foreigners. He did not realize who they really were,{{wob ref|3251}} and assumed they were from another part of Roshar.{{book ref|sa1|i|1}}
