'''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 Following her death, Galladon's father became more and more withdrawn, until he finally died as a result of his depression.
== 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.
== Appearance on Roshar ==
It has been confirmed{{ref|?|675|10|Is ''Thinker'' Demoux?}} that Galladon is the Dula looking for [[Hoid]] in the Way of Kings. He was referred to as '''Temoo''' by one of his companions, and the [[Purelake]] fisherman [[Ishikk]] called him '''Grump'''.{{ref|b|
=== Physical Appearance ===
=== Companions ===
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.
