Aladar is a highprince of Alethkar on Roshar.
Appearance and Personality
Aladar is slender, dark skinned, and bald; with the exception of a thin mustache and a tuft of hair below the lip. He was also a skilled duelist. He owns a full set of Shards, but they are normally lent to Highlord Mintez for battles and duels.[2] He is also said to be a good politician.
History
Aladar was, like the other Highprinces of Alethkar, present on the Shattered Plains to uphold the Vengeance Pact by fighting in the war against the Parshendi. His warcamp lay between those of Torol Sadeas and Dalinar Kholin. Around the time that Kaladin arrived on the Shattered Plains, Highprince Aladar began talking of taking a short vacation back to Alethkar.[3] When Dalinar started approaching other Highprinces, seeking an alliance in the interest of taking a stronger force against the Parshendi, Aladar refused him.[4]
Like most of the Highprinces, Aladar used armored troops to carry bridges on the Plains; however, as Sadeas had more and more success with using bridgemen as easy targets, Aladar and the others began copying his methods. He did not generally participate personally in the skirmishes, instead directing them from a separate command tent. After the new rules concerning the war on the Shattered Plains, Aladar went on plateau runs as commanded and reluctantly followed some tactical advice given to him by Dalinar. Despite this, Aladar refused Dalinar's offer of alliance again in the interest of keeping the favor of the other Highprinces.[5] He instead allied with Sadeas and later went on plateau runs he was not scheduled for. He was present during the meeting of the Highprinces after the assassination attempt on Dalinar.
When Dalinar set out to defeat the Parshendi once and for all, Aladar surprisingly joined him as an ally. During the Battle of Narak, Aladar managed to defeat the Parshendi on a plateau. He survived the battle, and took refuge in Urithiru together with the other survivors.
During his time in Urithiru, Aladar was appointed Highprince of Information and tasked with policing the city.[6] He was also present during the first attempts by Dalinar to unify Roshar against the voidbringers.[7]
Princedom
His Princedom was one of the northernmost in Alethkar.[8]
