| Their father had been too busy getting himself cut apart in foolish duels of honor, including the one where he'd taken a blow to the head. He’d never been right after that.

'''Dalinar's father''' was an [[Alethi]] brightlord. He died at an unknown point prior to the [[War of Reckoning]].{{book ref|sa1|12}}
 
Very little is known about him. His branch of [[House Kholin]] was one of the poorer, and couldn't afford monasteries or practice guards. His place of residence is unspecified, but it wasn't [[Kholinar]].{{book ref|sa3|16}} In his youth, he participated in a war of some sort.{{book ref|sa1|12}} His wife -- [[Dalinar]] and [[Gavilar]]'s mother -- died when the two boys were still children.{{wob ref|11297}} When Dalinar became old enough to learn swordfighting, his father hired [[Harth]], a swordsman from two towns over, to teach him.{{book ref|sa3|16}}
 
InAs hisa oldyounger ageman, brightlord Kholin participated in numerous duels, with one ending in a severe head injury, leading to some sort of condition that left his two sons to raise themselves.{{book ref|sa3|107}} Perhaps as a result of this, in his old age, he suffered from delusions where he thought he was back in the numerous battles of his youth. It's uncertain when he passed away, but it was likely within [[Adolin]]'s lifetime.{{book ref|sa1|12}}
