Captain '''Halam Khal'''{{book ref|sa3|16}} is a captain[[lighteyes|lighteyed]] officer and [[shardbearerShardbearer]] in the [[:Category: Kholin army| Kholin army]], and the eldest son of [[General Khal]].{{book ref|sa2sa3|8116}}
 
== Appearance and Personality ==
Little is known about Halam Khal's appearance. His eyes are [[lighteyes|light]], either yellow or violet depending on which of his parents he takes after. Like all [[Alethi]], he's tan. Even his kinsmen consider him tall.{{book ref|sa3|111}}
 
Khal is a dependable soldier. His father trusts him with his set of [[Shardbearer|Shards]], and often leaves him to act on his own, trusting - rightfully so - that the Captain will succeed.{{book ref|sa2|82}} Halam has been taught to always take on any challenge that arises, even if the opponent is his superior.{{book ref|sa3|16}} When not in battle, he's usually right by his father's side.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
 
== History ==
 
Halam survived the battle, and came to [[Urithiru]] along with the rest of his family.{{book ref|sa3|16}} At some point, the princess of [[Yezier]] began courting him, perhaps in hopes of tying her country to the [[Kholin]]s and their military.{{book ref|sa3|111}} He and his father briefly visited [[Thaylen City]], but before the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]] began, they transferred back to Urithiru to gather their soldiers, and were subsequently stuck there when the tower came under attack from the [[Fused]]. After that assault was pushed back, they led an Alethi relief force to aid Thaylen City.{{book ref|sa3|120}} The Captain survived that battle as well.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
 
== Abilities ==
Halam is a trained soldier with considerable skill. He's been present in most major engagements against the [[singer]]s, and came out of them essentially unscathed.{{book ref|sa2|82}}{{book ref|sa3|120}} He's also a trained [[Shardbearer]], and though he does not have a [[Shardplate|Plate]] or [[Shardblade|Blade]] of his own, he's skilled in using his father's weapons.{{book ref|sa2|82}} It's possible, however, that [[General Khal]] ended up bestowing his own Plate on him, as following the [[Battle of Narak]], Halam is seen wearing it far more often than his father is.{{book ref|sa3|111}}
 
As his father's eldest son, he's the heir to the Khal lands, if they still exist.{{book ref|sa3|16}}
