Balat is a young man twenty-three years old as of {{Rosharan date|1173}}. By this time, he has suffered an injury in his leg that nearly causes the surgeon to cut it off. As a result of his injury, he walks with a cane.{{book ref|sa1|i|2}}
He has a history of cruelty, violence, and destructive tendencies. As a child, he sets fire to the servants' quarters, almost burning down the entire building,{{book ref|sa2|27}} and abuses, possibly killing, an [[axehound]] pup that his older brother [[Helaran]] gives him as a gift.{{book ref|sa2|19}} As an adult, he still regularly tortures and kills animals, such as ripping the legs off of small crabs.{{book ref|sa1|i|2}} Balat enjoys killing animals, finding it satisfying and a way to "keep [his] sanity".{{book ref|sa1|i|2}} This trait is being magically enhanced by unspecified forces on Roshar.{{wob ref|date=2017-3-24|3333|Leipzig Book Fair}}
He believes that House Davar is deeply damaged and a "family of cripples" as a result of the death of his mother and the events that followed it. He sees himself as the only one who is normal and unscathed by these events, which is ironically the opposite of reality.{{book ref|sa1|i|2}}
