Au-nak was a Natan man who visited the the Alethi warcamps on the Shattered Plains.[1] The high form of his name was Nak-ali. Au-nak had white hair, like all Natans, but he dyed two locks of his hair red. They were braided and hung near his cheeks. Au-nak was a dignitary from elsewhere, perhaps New Natanan. He spoke airily, elongating the "oh" and "ah" sounds in his words.
Au-nak, and his family, were devoutly Vorin, although it is unknown how much of their devotion was only for the trade opportunities with the Alethi it provided. Au-nak thought that the Order of Talenelat, Dalinar's devotary, was for lesser people. He was rather cynical about religion, he figured that every conflict, regardless of professed purpose, was economic in nature. Au-nak thought that the Eighty's War was not over religion, but over the fact that Sesemalex Dar, which Au-nak believed to be a Dawncity, was a great port.
Au-nak was Brightlord Hatham's guest, they were negotiating a contract. Hatham was acting subservient and respectful, but in reality he was manipulating Au-nak for some unknown purpose. Hatham had one of his ardents insult Au-nak, so Au-nak would not be too suspicious that discussions on the contract were going too easily when Hatham easily agreed to Au-nak's terms.
