==Biography==
===Background===
In his youth all but worshipped his elder brother [[Gavilar Kholin|Gavilar]]. He and Gavilar had reunited [[Alethkar]]'s warring Highprinces after centuries of strife. Dalinar had been the warrior, genius of the battlefield, scattering their opponents slaying their leaders and best Shardbearers, bending them to Gavilar's rule. His prowess in battle earned the nickname 'Blackthorn' and reputation among the common fold of being one of the greatest warriors and generals who ever lived.{{ref|b|twok|i|2}} He has won many Shardplates and [[Shardblade]]s in battle, and has gifted his brother son [[Elhokar Kholin|Elhokar]] with one of each.

▲Dalinar was formerly married, but he was cursed by the [[Old Magic]] and could no longer remember her name. Whenever someone said her name, Dalinar heard only the sound of the wind, and if he ever encountered the name in any other manner, he could not retain it in his mind.
===[[The Way of Kings]]===
During the assassination of Gavilar Kholin, Dalinar was in a drunken stupor, and was therefore unable to aid his brother. After the King’s death, Dalinar considered himself to be at fault and underwent a radical change in personality. He began to read The Way of Kings, a book that his brother was fond of and began to adhere to the [[Alethi Codes of War]] that his brother attempted to make him follow. Had Dalinar been following the first Code, "Readiness", then he would have been sober enough to aid his brother against the assassin. After the death of Gavilar, Kholin joined forces with the new king, Elhokar, and the other Highprinces to pursue the [[Parshendi]] under the [[Vengeance Pact]].
