'''Galladon''' is an [[Elantrian]] on [[Sel]]. He is originally a farmer from [[Duladel]]. His father was also an Elantrian and most of Galladon's knowledge of [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]] comes from spending time with his father in the city when he was a child. He is instrumental in creating the [[New Elantris]] settlement and fixing the [[ShaodAonDor]] process. He later joins the [[Seventeenth Shard]] and is seen on [[Roshar]].

== History ==
=== Early Life ===
A few months after he is taken by the Shaod,{{ref|b|e|c|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 drive everyone mad eventually. Raoden offers the food he was given to Galladon in exchange for educating and guiding Raoden for thirty days. Galladon reluctantly agrees.{{ref|b|e|c|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 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 when a [[Seon]]'s master is taken by the Shaod, the Seon 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.{{ref|b|e|c|4}} They start discussing AonDor.{{ref|b|e|c|7}}
 
They see the [[Derethi]] [[gyorn]] [[Hrathen]] preaching on the walls of Elantris. Later, they go to the gates and much to Galladon's protest, Raoden rescues a man named [[Mareshe]] from the gangs and recruits him. They run from [[Shaor]]'s men to a building with an unstable staircase. The staircase collapse, Raoden throws the newcomer's food to the men below in the hopes that will make the men leave. They learn Mareshe is a jeweler, but Raoden asks him to make shoes. Mareshe agrees and they start the foundation of [[New Elantris]].{{ref|b|e|c|7}}
 
This, however, makes the gangs think Raoden is starting his own gang. They continue recruiting and select a [[Korathi]] church as their base.{{ref|b|e|c|10}} They move Galladon's father's books to this base, though it takes an hour for Raoden to convince Galladon. Soon the Elantrians start coming to New Elantris by themselves and ask to join.{{ref|b|e|c|13}}
 
=== Appearance on Roshar ===
Galladon appears as '''Temoo''' inon [[Roshar]]. [[Purelake]] fisherman [[Ishikk]] calls him '''Grump'''.{{ref|?|618|49|Is Galladon the Dula in ''Way of Kings''?}} 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]]{{ref|?|675|10|Is ''Thinker'' Demoux?}} and [[Blunt]], 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.{{ref|b|sa1|i|1}}
