His [[Shardplate]] was painted gold and his [[Shardblade]] was called Sunraiser.
 
Despite his own uncertainty in his ability to rule, Elhokar was capable of making decisive action and manages to control the [[HighprincesHighprince]]s, if just barely.
He was also a capable warrior, despite being easily defeated by his uncle.
 
 
== Plot ==
Elhokar mainly serves as an unwitting obstacle to Dalinar as his uncle attempted to unite the [[Highprince]]sHighprinces.
Elhokar's father and the former King of [[Alethkar]], [[Gavilar]] was assassinated by [[Szeth]], prompting the ten [[Alethi]] [[Highprince]]sHighprinces to declare war on the [[Parshendi]] under the [[Vengeance Pact]], after they claimed responsibility for the assassination.
Due to Elhokar's youth and paranoia his ability to rule was questioned by those under his rule and he maintained a weakened authority over the ten [[Highprinces]].
Elhokar's paranoia stemmed from the assassination of his father and he feared that he would meet the same fate, although he overcompensated on the battlefield and often acted recklessly to the dismay of his family and guards.
This paranoia was furthered by his ability to see strange creatures (possibly [[symbolspren]]) in mirrors.
Due to this ability it is theorised that Elhokar could become a [[Soulcaster]] like [[Jasnah Kholin]] and [[Shallan Davar]], and be able to Soulcast without the use of a [[fabrial]].
Elhokar's deep fear of assassination caused him to fake an assassination attempt on his own life by cutting the girth strap on his saddle, in order to trigger an investigation on those who wish him dead.
Although this rash action placed suspicion on his uncle [[Dalinar Kholin]], this method did yield results as is was found that weakened gemstones were placed in his [[Shardplate]] by a yet unknown individual.
