Balat Davar is a lighteyed Veden on Roshar. Balat is born into House Davar as the second oldest child of Lin and his mother. Originally known as Tet Balat Davar, he becomes Nan Balat Davar, taking on the title for the first son and heir to House Davar after his father disowns his older brother Helaran. He is betrothed to Eylita Tavinar.

Appearance and Personality

Balat is a young man twenty-three years old as of 1173. He has a round face and a haunted look that shadowed him. He is the tallest among his surviving siblings.

It is inferred that as a boy, he liked starting fires. One of these almost burned down the servants building. He is also known to have cruel habits towards animals.

As an adult he still liked killing animals, not people. Never people. The pain on whatever he killed seemed to ease up his own pain. He did so with cruelty, enjoying each step. An example is ripping legs of a small crab one by one. Scrak was his axehound pet, which he was close and fond of.

His father smashed his poker against Balat’s leg on a fight and caused him an injury that left him walking with a cane. . He still felt a constant, latent ache.

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.

History

Whilst Shallan pursued Jasnah Kholin, Nan Balat ran the affairs of House Davar in the stead of his dead father. He and his brothers made public appearances and spread rumors that his father was planning something large.He also communicated with Shallan via Spanreed and kept up to date with her progress. After she is discovered and then abandons the house's cause in order to help Jasnah he is understanding and tells her he is glad to know that at least one of their family will survive. When Jasnah Kholin steps in to help their house he is quite happy to hear of how they now have a strong chance of surviving.

Trivia

His cruelty to animals used for soothing aches is being magically enhanced by unspecified forces on Roshar.
