'''Torol Sadeas''' is an [[Alethi]] [[Highprince]] on [[Roshar]]. Through a number of successful battles fought alongside [[Gavilar]] and [[Dalinar]] Kholin, he became one of the most powerful men in the Kingdom. Known for his cruelty and brutality, Sadeas is a proficient political master; along with his wife [[Ialai Sadeas|Ialai]], they take care of inconvenient people. He commands one of the two most significant armies on the [[Shattered Plains]], the other being the army of Dalinar Kholin.
As Highprince of Information, he was able to manipulate the king and the other Highprinces. He was still able to outmaneuver Dalinar, even after he was openly found guilty of treason. He possesses both [[Shardplate]] and Dalinar Kholin's [[Shardblade]], [[Oathbringer (Shardblade)|Oathbringer]].
He is murdered by [[Adolin Kholin]] a few days after their arrival in [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa2|89}}
=== The Rift ===
During times of a unified Alethkar, Sadeas enjoyed doing politics,
Tanalan, son of old Tanalan who was bested by Dalinar ten years ago, led the Rift. It was on that same battle that Dalinar has spared young Tanalan as mercy for being a small boy. He however was now a young leader rebelling against the Kholins. Gavilar had tried diplomacy and indirect fear (sending Dalinar to [[Herdaz]]), but failed. Eventually, he had to agree on sending forces and take the city by force.▼
Dalinar lead the army to take The Rift, however, after a convincing argument by Evi, he tried to get Tanalan to agree on surrender without murdering anyone. Tanalan offered a pact where he would give the names of the traitors who had helped them to rise, in exchange for no violence. He accused Sadeas as the traitor. Dalinar followed the caravan leaving the Rift and fell into a trap, realizing that the Rifters, and not Sadeas, had betrayed him, he goes back to camp and decides to attack.▼
When Dalinar gets back to camp, he finds that his army thought he was dead. He and Sadeas decide to delay the news on his survival to Gavilar and decide to not only attack but destroy the Rift. They do, and in doing so, Evi is accidentally murdered. {{book ref|sa3|76}}.▼

Sadeas spun the news of the Rift’s destruction to the king’s advantage. He’d called it regrettable that the Rifters had forced Kholin action by killing Dalinar’s wife and it was unfortunate the city caught fire during the fighting.{{book ref|sa3|88}}▼

=== The War of Reckoning ===
{{image|Glyph-Sadeas.svg|side=right|height=350px|Sadeas's [[glyph]]|attribute=art-tracer}}
During their time at the warcamps, Sadeas participated in a hunt out on the [[Shattered Plains]] with Dalinar, [[Renarin]], [[Adolin]], and King Elhokar. When they arrived at the plateau where preparations for the hunt were under way, a [[chasmfiend]] appeared on the plateau with all the courtiers and scribes
▲When they arrived at the plateau where preparations for the hunt were under way, a [[chasmfiend]] appeared on the plateau with all the courtiers and scribes, instead of the smaller plateau the hunt was supposed to take place on. Dalinar, Adolin, and Elhokar immediately dashed for the chasmfiend, hoping to kill it before it hurts any bystanders. From a distance, Sadeas used his [[grandbow]] to weaken it while Dalinar and Adolin went for its legs and Elhokar distracted it. At some point in the battle, Elhokar's saddle strap broke, throwing him to the ground. To save him from being crushed, Dalinar, with Shardplate-enhanced strength, caught the claw that would have otherwise crushed Elhokar. Adolin continued to cut off its legs and the chasmfiend was eventually unable to support its own weight. Elhokar summoned his Shardblade again and used it to kill the chasmfiend, then harvest its [[gemheart]].
Back in the pavilion on the Plains,
Sadeas,
Dalinar investigated the cut girth strap on the king's saddle, but at one particular king's feast, Elhokar announced that in light of the recent attempt on his life with the saddle, he is appointing Sadeas the [[Highprince of Information]] to investigate. This was to spite Dalinar, who Elhokar believed was not taking the investigation seriously. Sadeas learned of Dalinar's request to be [[Highprince of War]] and this was Sadeas' way of outmaneuvering his opponent.{{book ref|sa1|22}}
