Described as old
He worships [[Austre]], God of
He is an astute ruler and capable of putting the good of his kingdom before his own personal wishes as shown by his sending his daughter to honour the treaty with [[Hallandren]]. He is also shown to be thoughtful and decisive as he ponders over the political and military implications and seeks council, but once his mind is made up he acts decisively and cannot be persuaded to renege on his position. However he is also a man of passion, controlled passion, but passion nonetheless as seen in his streaks of red anger and the way he allows his love of [[Vivenna]] to dictate his response to the treaty.{{book ref|wb|1}}▼
▲He is an astute ruler and capable of putting the good of his kingdom before his own personal wishes
▲He worships [[Austre]], God of Colours and considers the God King and the other [[Returned]] abominations. In accordance with these beliefs he considers the owning of Breath other than your own and Awakening wrong.{{book ref|wb|1}}
== History ==
{{quote
More than twenty years before the events of [[Warbreaker]] Dedelin made a treaty with the Hallandren Court to keep it from invading Idris. This treaty says that he must send his daughter to marry the God King of Hallandren when Vivenna reaches her twenty-second birthday. But although she is raised, educated and trained for this purpose he can not bring himself to let her go and decides to send Siri instead.{{book ref|wb|1}}▼

== Relationships ==
=== Vivenna ===
Dedelin hesitates to send Vivenna to [[Hallandren]], and though he thinks that he is doing the best thing for [[Idris]], he still is biased and does love Vivenna more, partially because Vivenna reminds him of his wife.{{wob ref|6031}} Early on, he remarks that Vivenna is twice as devout as he is and has far more control over her hair than he does. This is a clear example of the way Dedelin treats Vivenna differently than Siri, which in turn affects both his and Vivenna's relationship with the youngest royal.{{book ref|wb|1}}
===
Dedelin doesn't like it when Siri goes off on her own instead of attending her tutoring sessions, and often reprimands her firmly when she skips them. Siri's perception of herself is based around the way Dedelin views Vivenna, and how he praises her control, the total opposite of Siri {{book ref|wb|1}} Though Dedelin disapproves of many of Siri's actions, he still loves her.{{wob ref|6031}} Siri is sarcastic about her actions and their implications, contradicts Dedelin constantly, unlike Vivenna.{{book ref|wb|2}}
