A few months after he is taken by the Shaod,{{book ref|Elantris|4}} Galladon meets [[Raoden]] who is running away from five other Elantrians on the latter's first day in Elantris. He starts introducing Raoden to the realities of Elantris, telling him they are already dead and their bodies no longer heal and that the pain eventually drives every Elantrian mad. Raoden offers some of the food he was given to Galladon in exchange for educating and guiding Raoden for thirty days. Galladon reluctantly agrees.{{book ref|Elantris|1}} He starts teaching Raoden by showing him how the gangs in Elantris work, and how to keep his body from harm as much as possible, and he talks of the [[Hoed]]. He shows the market section, the university, and the palace of Elantris where the three gangs make their homes. He tells Raoden that when a [[Seonseon]]'s master is taken by the Shaod, the Seonseon is driven mad. After that, he takes them to his father's workroom and introduces Raoden to [[AonDor]] by drawing [[Aon#Deo|Aon Deo]] in the air.{{book ref|Elantris|4}} They start discussing AonDor.{{book ref|Elantris|7}}

Galladon appears on [[Roshar]]. [[Purelake]] fisherman [[Ishikk]] calls him '''Grump'''.{{qawob ref|618|49|Is Galladon the Dula in ''Way of Kings''?|date=Aug 4th, 201110085}} How he is able to move between worlds is unknown. He is described as being dark-skinned, like the [[Makabaki]] of Roshar. Unlike the Makabaki, he has thick limbs and a completely bald head. This is very similar to how he is described before the Shaod. Since ''The Way of Kings'' takes place after ''Elantris'', it is reasonable to conclude that this is an illusion, either identical or similar to his pre-Elantrian state. Much like in ''Elantris'', he continues to refer to others as "friend", and frequently followed statements with the interrogative "Understand?". Galladon says these in the local language rather than his native [[Duladel]] language. At the end of the Interlude, he says a phrase in Duladen, his native language, repeating the word ''kayana'', meaning "crazy". Galladon's true motives on Roshar are unknown, but he and his two companions, [[Demoux]]{{qawob ref|675|10|Is ''Thinker'' Demoux?|date=Dec 15th, 20116683}} and [[Baon]], hired Ishikk to look for [[Hoid]]. Ishikk was paid with a pouch of spheres even though he wasn't able to locate Hoid in the five months since the trio hired him.{{book ref|sa1|i|1}}
