Toh is careful and overly cautious, with a certain sense of delicacy about him. He tends to act in a rather naive way, such as mistaking a brawl for a party, and speak a lot when nervous.{{book ref|sa3|49}} He's extremely curious about the Alethi and the ways in which they wage war, being particularly impressed with [[Soulcaster]]s. He seems to adore the Alethi history, most of all the achievements of the [[Sunmaker]].{{book ref|sa3|19}} It's uncertain, however, how much of his behavior is genuine, and how much is his wariness of [[Dalinar]] and the need to get [[Gavilar]] to like him. |

He has some knowledge of military strategy in western [[Roshar]], but is less informed regarding war in and around Alethkar. He displays curiosity about the ways in which they wage war, being particularly impressed with the use of [[Soulcaster]]s. He seems to adore Alethi history, most of all the achievements of the [[Sunmaker]].{{book ref|sa3|19}} He does not display the same aversion to war as his sister, although it's uncertain how much of his behavior is genuine, and how much is his wariness of Dalinar and the need to get into Gavilar's good graces. |

Toh grew up in [[ |
Toh grew up in [[Rira]] with his sister, [[Evi]]. When the two were in their late teens, they fled their home with Evi's set of [[Shardplate]], to the ire of their relatives. They sought out the Alethi and tried to use the Shardplate as a bargaining chip to gain political asylum, with Toh negotiating with Gavilar for the two of them. This worked, with Dalinar marrying Evi in exchange for the Plate, and both her and Toh gaining significant status.{{book ref|sa3|19}} |
||
Assisted by Riran customs, Toh dragged out the betrothal, using the extra time to try and add more favorable clauses into the marriage contract.{{book ref|sa3|26}} Toh wanted to become part of House Kholin's royal line, in addition to receiving protection from retribution by Rira.{{book ref|sa3|19}} After Dalinar won [[Kalanor]]'s [[Shardblade|Blade]] and Plate, Gavilar believed that [[House Kholin]]'s increased strength would not allow Toh to delay the marriage any longer.{{book ref|sa3|19}} Dalinar finally married Evi in exchange for the Plate, and both she and Toh gained significant status.{{book ref|sa3|26}} The Plate was later given to Evi's son, [[Adolin Kholin]].{{book ref|sa3|16}} [[Iri]], which was involved in a dispute over the possession of Rira, later made a claim to the Plate, although they would never have attempted war with Alethkar. Iri's royal line did not have any blood relation to Toh and Evi, further weakening their claim.{{book ref|sa3|16}} |

For some time, Toh lived with [[Kholinar]] along with his sister. He was present when she gave birth to [[Adolin]], and brought the good news to Dalinar.{{book ref|sa3|49}} Several years later, he moved to the coast of Herdaz, where he lived for at least another decade under the protection of Alethi bodyguards.{{book ref|sa3|66}} He is nowhere to be seen during the [[War of Reckoning]], making his current fate uncertain. |
