== Attributes and Abilities ==
Wikim likes math and seems to be proficient at it. He also seems to have biology knowledge, as he knows the effects of [[blackbane]].{{book ref|sa2|45}} After [[Lin Davar|his father]]'s death, he takes care of distracting creditors and seems to be able to keep them at bay for some time; this means he does have some political abilities.{{book ref|sa1|29}}
== History ==
{{image|Davar family by zoethatcher art.jpg|side=right|height=300px|With his parents and siblings}}
After her death, he fell into depression, being a constant target from his father’s anger. He would rarely speak, even less smile and stay long times staring at fires or walls. He did resent his father and when the Highprince sent his bastard son to their house seeking for people who would speak against him, Wikim asks [[Shallan]] to do so.{{book ref|sa2|39}}▼
▲When Wikim was younger, his [[Shallan's mother|mother]] wanted him to be an [[ardent]].{{book ref|sa2|45}} After her death, he fell into depression, being a constant target
At the Middlefest Fair he decided to stay in his carriage where Shallan went to visit him. Wikim saw through her and openly asked on her tricks for making all her brother feel better. After stating no woman or sword would do the trick with him, [[Shallan]] gives him math problems that she had spent lots of time creating for him. Though he dismisses the effort and her, making Shallan feel miserable, he ends up taking a pencil and trying them with a smile on his face.{{book ref|sa2|45}}▼
▲At the [[Middlefest Fair]] he decided to stay in
The day [[Balat]] was going to run away with [[Eylita]], Wikim was the one to let him know his father had summoned her to their house. Along with [[Jushu]], he stayed at the door of the feast hall while his father and Balat argued. They ran in when his father went to the floor paralyzed, thinking he was dead. Shallan explained she used the pouch he had given her years ago. Wikim was the one who found out he was still alive and stepped back. Shallan had to step in to finish the job.{{book ref|sa2|73}}
After his father death, and while Shallan tried to steal Jasnah’s Soulcaster, Wikim helped Balat with their House affairs. His role was to keep the creditors distracted. {{book ref|sa1|29}}▼
▲After his father's death, and while Shallan tried to steal
===
As historic events began occurring across [[Roshar]], Shallan felt guilty about abandoning her brothers. She lost contact with them after losing her [[spanreed]] on the ''[[Wind's Pleasure]]'' and became increasingly worried after learning of the [[Veden civil war]].{{book ref|sa2|31}} After [[Urithiru]] was discovered, she wrote them a number of letters telling them to come live with her there, but she did not receive any response.{{book ref|sa2|60}} Shallan eventually learned from [[Mraize]] that the Davar lands had fallen and that he was bringing her family to Urithiru; her service to the [[Ghostbloods]] as Veil would fulfill the debt of the broken Soulcaster.{{book ref|sa2|88}}
Mraize fulfilled his promise and Wikim, [[Jushu]], Balat, and Eylita arrived in Urithiru after the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]]. Jushu's clothes were worn and he had lost some weight. The family reunited with Shallan and attended her wedding to [[Adolin Kholin]].{{book ref|sa3|122}}
Wikim and his brothers were given quarters near Shallan's in Urithiru. Shallan visited often, but she felt some regret about the way that she perceived Wikim and the rest of her family after having changed so much since leaving her childhood home.{{book ref|sa4|13}}

[[Shallan]] spends much of her time trying to make her brothers feel better. In the case of Wikim, she spends time preparing math problems for him.{{book ref|sa2|45}} This helps him get out of his depression, and he expresses his gratefulness by giving her the pouch of [[blackbane]] he doesn't think he needs anymore.{{book ref|sa1|48}} Shallan loves him very much, and seeing him smile makes her feel warm inside.{{book ref|sa2|45}} He does love her back, but complains when she shows him affection.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
=== Lin Davar ===
Wikim's [[Lin Davar|father]], just as he does to his other sons, screams at and mistreats him.{{book ref|sa1|i|2}} Although Wikim hopes to become an ardent, Lin likely would never allow him to, as he feels that in the absence of [[Helaran]] and [[Balat]], Wikim is the best one to lead the [[House Davar|house]].{{book ref|sa2|61}} His father opposes his interest in math until he is convinced by his [[ardent]]s that the Almighty approves of his interest.{{book ref|sa2|48}}
