Helaran Davar is a Veden Shardbearer on Roshar. Helaran is the oldest child of House Davar, with four younger siblings: Balat, Wikim, Jushu, and Shallan. Originally known as Nan Helaran Davar, identifying him as the first son and heir of House Davar, he is stripped of the title Nan when his father disowns him.

Appearance and Personality

Helaran is tall, muscular, and square-chinned, although his father is taller than he is.

“ Helaran’s grin was so wide, it practically glowed.It was hard to frown in a room where he was smiling --- ”

— Shallan's thoughts on her brother.

Of all the Davar children, he is considered to be the most responsible and the only true adult, even after his younger brother Balat comes of age. Along with Shallan, Helaran was one of his father's favorite children.

Helaran is resentful and angry at his father, who he believes murdered his mother and her lover in cold blood.

History

Around 1168 or shortly before, Helaran acquires a Shardblade from an unnamed group.

Later that year, he visits Shallan and brings her sketching tools from Northgrip as a present. He had also given Balat a new axehound pup, but Balat had abused and possibly killed it. During the visit, he tells Shallan and his father that he must leave to attend to affairs, but his father disagrees and confronts him. Helaran summons his Shardblade, threatens his father, and leaves, but promises to return and check on the family..

After this confrontation with his father he would visit the Davar estate sporadically and for short visits, bringing Shallan more drawing supplies but avoiding his father.

Of all the Davar children, he knows the most about his father's secrets and plans and stands up to him the most. He has some connection to Wit, whom he asks to deliver the message that "he has eyes nearby and is watching." At hearing this, his father declares him disinherited and start refering to Tet Balat as Nan Balat, which is the reference to the eldest son..

Two years later, he returns to Jah Keved and meets with Balat. Helaran warns his brother that this time when he left, he might not be coming back for a long time and asked him to watch over the family. When his father finds out, he sends one of his new guards Rin, to kill him.

In 1172, he appears on a battlefield in Alethkar with a full set of Shards. Helaran's goal is to kill Highlord Meridas Amaram, but he is killed by Kaladin during the battle. Although it is Kaladin's right to claim Helaran's Shards, Amaram betrays Kaladin and claims the shards instead..

Attributes and Abilities

His mother had intimate contact with a Skybreaker acolyte and its possible Nale knew a member of the house was close to bonding a spren. It is believed they thought it was Helaran. He was recruited because Nale was impressed with him. They recruited him with displays of great power and Shards. Helaran had not yet bonded a spren and so his shardblade still had a glowing gemstone. Likely, Helaran was sent to kill Amaram as a test—either that or he took it upon himself as a way of proving his worthiness for knighthood.

Quotes

“ “There are more important things in this world,” “More important even than you and your crimes.” ”

— Helaran to his father before leaving house Davar

Trivia

It is not known the reason for Helaran to attempt the murder or Meridas Amaram, however it is mostly believed the attack was simply a strike against the Sons of Honor.
