Sadeas was very proficient at politics since his early years. He would talk to persuade new allies, if he was not convinced on getting their full loyalty, he would find "Alethi" ways to get rid of them. His wife Ialai Sadeas would be the one elaborating the schemes for getting rid of the problematic allies.{{book ref|sa3|19}}
=== The Rift Destruction Battle ===
During times of a unified Alethkar, Sadeas enjoyed doing politics and the power he had under Gavilar. He helped plot tactics to keep power and stability maintaining war and fear as his most important weapons, while Gavilar moved to a more political/influential type of leadership. This difference was key to the decisions leading to the destruction of The Rift.
Tanalan, son of old Tanalan who was bested by Dainar ten years ago, led the Rift. It was on that same battle that Dalinar has spared young Tanalan as mercy for being a small boy. He however was now a young leader rebelling against the Kholins. Gavilar had tired diplomacy and indirect fear (sending Dalinar to Herdaz) but failed. Eventually, he had to agree on sending forces and take the city by force.
Dalinar lead the army to take The Rift, however, after a convincing argument by Evi, he tried to get Tanalan to agree on surrender without murdering anyone. Tanalan offers a pact where he would give the names of the traitors who had helped them to rise, in exchange for no violence. He accused Sadeas as the traitor. Dalinar followed the caravan leaving the Rift and fell into a trap, realizing that the Rifters and not Sadeas betrayed him, he goes back to camp and decides to attack.
When Dalinar gets back to camp, he finds that his army thought he was dead. He and Sadeas decide to delay the news on his survivor to Gavilar and decide to not only attack but destroy the Rift. They do, and in doing so, Evi is accidentally murdered. Oathbringer chapter 76.
Sadeas spun the news of the Rift’s destruction to the king’s advantage. He’d called it regrettable that the Rifters had forced Kholin action by killing Dalinar’s wife and it was unfortunate the city caught fire during the fighting. Oathbringer chapter 88.
Sadeas would continue to be the close and advocate for Gavilar and his kingdom. He would be the first Highlord to offer allegiance to Elhokar when he calls for war on the Parshendi to avenge his father. Oathbringer chapter 105
