==== Gavilar ====
He deeply loved and respected his brother, enough so that he refused to allow criticism of him,{{book ref|sa1|61}} and introduced him to people that he felt that he should know.{{book ref|sa1|64}} While he did deeply respect him, he did feel anger at how, in his eyes, he took Navani from him, once he was angered enough to consider killing Gavilar so that he could be with her. He did not go through with the attempt.{{
He blamed himself for his death, feeling that if he followed the Alethi Codes of War he would have been able to be there to protect him.{{book ref|sa1|12}} This guilt was a large motivator in him choosing to finally go to the Nightwatcher, and helped spark his change into a better person.{{book ref|sa3|105}} One of his motivators in being so protective of Elhokar, and trying so hard to guide him to become a better king, is rooted in his guilt, and in him seeing Elhokar as a remaining piece of his brother.{{book ref|sa1|15}}
He wants to retain his legacy, not wanting to let the power of the Kholin House over Alethkar that him and his brother built up collapse due to infighting and Elhokar's incompetence.{{book ref|sa1|12}}
Gavilar himself felt an affection for Dalinar and after their mother died and their father suffered a brain injury and was left unable to take care of them, he took on a sort of paternal role over Dalinar.{{book ref|sa3|107}} However, despite this affection, he ultimately treated him as little more than a tool.{{wob ref|11434}} ▼
