== Appearance and Personality ==
|Aladar to [[Dalinar]]{{book ref|sa2|76}}
}}
Aladar is short, slender, and dark skinned with a long neck; he is also bald, though he grows a thin mustache and a tuft of hair below the lip.{{book ref|sa2|8}}{{book ref|sa2|67}} His choice of fashion and facial hair is unconventional, but as a highprince he often set trends.{{book ref|sa2|8}} He is a skilled duelist.{{book ref|sa2|38}} He owns a full set of [[Shardplate]] and [[Shardblade]], but they are normally lent to Highlord [[Mintez]] for battles and duels.{{book ref|sa2|81}} He prefers not to fight at the head of his army, instead leading tactically from a command tent.{{book ref|sa2|8}} He likes games of chance, and [[Jasnah]] considers him a good politician.{{book ref|sa2|24}} He is an honest man at his core and will eventually act on what he knows to be right.{{book ref|sa2|76}}
 
He likes to train [[axehound]]s.{{book ref|sa4|25}}
 
== History ==
Aladar led the meeting of monarchs in Dalinar's absence on the day Dalinar was recovered enough to attend. They discussed plans preparing for battle at [[Jah Keved]] until Dalinar realized that [[Odium]]'s forces were instead going to attack [[Thaylen City]].{{book ref|sa3|107}} The next meeting took place in Thaylen City itself, and Aladar was present to hear the various information leaks, including the translation of the [[Eila Stele]], that sought to tear apart the coalition.{{book ref|sa3|111}}
 
When the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]] commenced, Aladar was still at Urithiru. He was able to counter the invading force of Parshendisingers along with Sebarial and Teft, the new [[Windrunner]].{{book ref|sa3|120}} At the conclusion of the battle, he attended the conference that discussed tactics regarding the future.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
 
Following the Battle of Thaylen Field, Aladar tries to reinstate Dalinar's trust in him.{{book ref|sa4|50}}
 
=== The Emuli campaign ===
During Dalinar's campaign in [[Emul]]. Aladar was assigned to oversee the withdrawal in Alethkar.{{book ref|sa4|50}}
 
== Trivia ==
* In ''[[Words of Radiance]]'', Aladar's colors are described once as being "white and dark green";{{book ref|sa2|76}} this is likely a mistake, as those colors are otherwise associated with [[Torol Sadeas]]' army, and Aladar's are otherwise consistently described as black and maroon.
