'''Au-nak''' was a [[Natan]] man who visited the the [[Alethi]] warcamps on the [[Shattered Plains]].{{ref|b|twok|c|54}} 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 [[Emuli-TukariEighty'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 [[ardent]]s 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.
