'''Au-nak''' is a [[Natan]] man who visited the the [[Alethi]] warcamps on the [[Shattered Plains]].{{book ref|twok|54}} The high form of his name is '''Nak-ali'''.
== History ==
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 grew up in a devoutly Vorin family, with strong trade connections with the Alethi.{{book ref|twok|54}} As an adult, Au-nak visited the Shattered Plains in 1173 as a visiting dignitary from elsewhere, perhaps [[New Natanan]].{{book ref|twok|54}} Au-nak was [[Brightlord]] [[Hatham]]'s guest, as they were negotiating a contract. During one of Elhokar's parties, Hatham spoke with subservience and respect in their conversation, but in reality he was manipulating Au-nak for some unknown purpose. Hatham had one of his [[ardent]]s insult Au-nak during the conversation, to the point where Au-nak left in anger. Hatham hoped that when he followed Au-nak and persuaded him to still agree to the contract, Au-nak would not be suspicious that Hatham agreed so easily to Au-naks terms.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Au-nak has white hair, like all Natans, but he dyes two locks of his hair red.{{book ref|twok|54}} He keeps them braided and hung near his cheeks. He speaks airily, elongating the "oh" and "ah" sounds in his words.
