▲Helaran is tall, muscular, and square-chinned, although his father is taller than he is.{{book ref|sa2|19}}
Of all the Davar children, he is considered to be the most responsible and the only true adult, even after his younger brother [[Balat]] comes of age. He and [[Shallan]] are [[Lin|his father]]'s favorite children.{{book ref|sa2|27}}
Helaran is resentful and angry at his father, who he believes murdered [[Shallan's mother|his mother]] and her lover in cold blood.{{book ref|sa2|19}}
== Attributes and Abilities ==
[[Shallan's mother|His mother]] had intimate contact with a [[Skybreaker]] acolyte and it is possible [[Nale]] knew a member of the house was close to bonding a [[spren]]. It is believed they thought it was Helaran. He was recruited because Nale was impressed with him.
Helaran had not yet bonded a spren and so his Shardblade still had a glowing gemstone. Likely, Helaran was sent to kill Amaram as a test—either that or he took it upon himself as a way of proving his worthiness for knighthood.{{book ref|sa3|40}}▼
== History ==

Later that year, he visits [[Shallan]] and brings her sketching tools from [[Northgrip]] as a present. He had also given [[Balat]] a new [[axehound]] pup, but Balat had abused and possibly killed it.{{book ref|sa2|19}} During the visit, he tells Shallan and his father that he must leave to attend to affairs, but [[Lin|his father]] disagrees and confronts him. Helaran summons his Shardblade, threatens his father, and leaves, but promises to return and check on the family.{{book ref|sa2|19}}
After this confrontation with his father he visits the Davar estate sporadically and for only short periods at a time, bringing [[Shallan]] more drawing supplies but avoiding his father.{{book ref|sa2|27}}
Of all the Davar children, he knows the most about his father's secrets and plans and stands up to him the most. He has some connection to [[
Two years later, he returns to [[Jah Keved]] and meets with Balat. Helaran warns his brother that this time when he leaves, he might not be coming back for a long time, and asks him to watch over the family. When his father finds out, he sends one of his new guards, [[Rin]], to kill him.{{book ref|sa2|61}}
In {{Rosharan date|1172|10}}, he appears on a battlefield in [[Alethkar]] with a full set of Shards. Helaran's goal is to kill Highlord [[Meridas Amaram]], but he is killed by [[Kaladin]] during the battle.{{book ref|sa2|74
