Ulim appears in a red, human form. Venli describes his eyes as odd, suggesting a Shin ethnicity, or possibly non-[[Roshar]]an. He has long hair that ripples as if being blown by wind, and his size is typically small enough to fit on the palm of a hand. When particularly passionate, his form seems to electrify. When moving across surfaces, Ulim appears as rolling lightning. He can move through the air in a sudden bolt of lightning but seems to require a surface of some kind to rest on.{{book ref|sa3|i|3}} Ulim can render himself invisible at will, and used that capability to hide from most Listeners for years.{{book ref|sa4|86}}

Ulim often speaks with an arrogant, spiteful attitude marked by human mannerisms, as noted by [[Hariel]].{{book ref|sa3|i|6}} He has little compassion or respect for the [[listener]]s, despite having worked closely with Venli for many years. He addresses them as children, mocks their war against the [[Alethi]], and treats Venli's mourning over the loss of Eshonai with derision.{{book ref|sa3|i|3}} In contrast, Ulim speaks with deference when in the presence of the Fused, for whom he has great fear and respect.{{book ref|sa3|i|3}}{{book ref|sa3|i|6}}

Ulim somehow managed to escape from [[Braize]] to [[Roshar]]. He made contact with Venli several years ago and convinced her that they should work together to bring about the return of her people's gods.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}} The pair collaborated secretly to capture [[stormspren]] and make the discovery of [[stormform]]. Though Venli took credit for the research, Ulim was primarily responsible for the work performed.{{book ref|sa3|i|7}}
Ulim had a history with the [[Herald]] [[Nale]], although they were not friends. Ulim appeared to be somewhat fearful of Nale, to the point that he stopped talking when Nale told him to quiet.{{book ref|sa4|77}}

After the summoning of the Everstorm, Ulim revealed himself to the surviving listeners and became somewhat of a leader to them.
