'''Dieno enne Calah''', often known as '''the Mink''', is a general in command of a group of soldiers and refugees at the [[Alethkar|Alethi]]-[[Herdaz]]ian border after the initial [[singer]] occupation of Alethkar.

}}▼
The general is a middle-aged, darkeyed Herdazian man. He has brown skin and a touch of grey in his thin mustache. He is described (albeit in unflattering terms and by an adversary) as having a too-wide smile, a flat nose, and a missing tooth. He has a lean build but possesses a power to it. He has scars around his wrist that results from manacles.{{book ref|sa4|1}}
He talks in a straightforward manner, not afraid of pointing out truths.{{book ref|sa4|3}} But he is also quick to assess the situation and his honesty generally won't offend people.{{book ref|sa4|17}} He is easygoing with his soldiers and officers, and enjoys sneaking away in unexpected circumstances.{{book ref|sa4|2}} He has a habit of plotting escape routes whenever he enters a space.{{book ref|sa4|16}}
== Attributes and
He is an excellent battlefield general. He defended Herdaz for one year against the singers' invasion, despite the lack of allies and resources.{{book ref|sa4|17}} He takes over most of the actual field commanding from [[Dalinar]] after joining the coalition,{{book ref|sa4|47}} and successfully reclaimed [[Emul]].
== History ==
At some point in his life, the general was chained at a beach somewhere near the Alethi-Herdazian border where an enormous [[greatshell]] nicknamed "the hog" resides. He was able to unshackle himself in under a minute and escape being eaten by the creature. It is unclear whether he was there as a prisoner condemned to be fed to the hog, or he simply wanted to test his skills at escaping.{{
His son and wife were killed in a war prior to the Everstorm, likely a war with Alethekar.{{book ref|sa4|16}}
Some time after the singer occupation of Alethkar began, the general gained command over a group of soldiers and refugees at that same area of the border.{{expand}}
After [[Jasnah Kholin]]'s duel with [[Ruthar]], Dalinar noted that, in contrast to the others in the room, the general appeared amused by the whole thing, and half expected him to start clapping.{{
