'''Galladon''' was a farmer from Duladel who was taken by the [[Shaod]] after [[Elantris]] fell to the [[Reod]]
A pragmatic, often pessimistic man, Galladon was instrumental in [[Raoden]]'s efforts to establish order in New Elantris.
His father was also a farmer who became an Elantrian, and Galladon spent a good portion of his childhood living in Elantris.
Galladon also played a large part in the battle for Teod, organizing and leading the Elantrians who came to Teod's rescue.
== Childhood ==
Galladon's father became an Elantrian while Galladon was still very young.
Although, at that time, Elantrians were not required to move to Elantris, it was standard practice for them to live in Elantris to avoid persecution.
Galladon lived with his mother and father in Elantris for several years, until his mother died.
Following her death, Galladon's father became more and more withdrawn, until he finally died as a result of his depression.
After both of his parents died, Galladon left Elantris, intending never to return.
== Farm life ==
Galladon was determined to adapt to normal life upon leaving Elantris.
Following his father's footsteps, Galladon took up farming, initially farming grain.
After several years, he switched to orchards, preferring a crop that did not require planting every year.
He continued his tradition of scholarship, reading during the off-season.
Unfortunately, despite his best efforts, Galladon never really fit in with his neighbors, and so was able to leave his life with relatively few regrets when the Shaod took him.
== Return to Elantris ==
== Battle for Teod ==
== Appearance on Roshar ==
It has been confirmed
He was referred to as '''Temoo''' by one of his companions, and the [[Purelake]] fisherman [[Ishikk]] called him '''Grump'''.{{ref|b|WoK|i|1}}
How he is able to move between worlds is unknown.
He was described as being dark-skinned, like the [[Makabaki]] of [[Roshar]].
He was described as being dark-skinned, like the [[Makabaki]] of [[Roshar]]. Unlike the Makabaki, he had thick limbs and a completely bald head. This is very similar to how he was described before he underwent the [[Shaod]]. (And 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 continued to refer to others as "friend", and frequently followed statements with the interrogative "Understand?"
Unlike on [[Sel]], Galladon said these in the local language rather than his native [[Duladel]] language.
At the end of the Interlude, he said a phrase in his native language, repeating a word - ''kayana'' - that he spoke in ''Elantris''.
Galladon's true motives on Roshar are unknown, but he and his two companions had 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 had hired him.
Galladon was accompanied by two others - one who had a scar across his forehead and tan skin like an Alethi, with un-Alethi eyes (and an un-Alethi accent), and another who was dark-skinned, taller than Galladon, broad-shouldered, lean-muscled, and with short, dark hair.
Ishikk called the former '''Thinker''' due to him seeming more contemplative and less talkative than the other two (possibly due to having a poorer grasp of Ishikk's language).
The latter was called '''Blunt''' by Ishikk (due to being very straightforward), and was called '''Vao''' by Galladon.
Of these three, Galladon is the only confirmed Elantrian.<ref>{{17s|75-theory-galladon-in-wok/page__view__findpost__p__12674|theory: Galladon in WoK}}</ref>
