'''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 [[AonDor]]. He later joins the [[Seventeenth Shard]] and is seen on [[Roshar]].

A few months after he is taken by the Shaod,{{book ref
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.{{book ref
This, however, makes the gangs think Raoden is starting his own gang. They continue recruiting and select a [[Korathi]] church as their base.{{book ref
Galladon eventually learns there was a rebellion in his homeland which resulted in the republic collapsing and that [[Shu-Dereth]] is the state religion in Duladel. He is deeply shaken by the news. Raoden shows Galladon bags of corn seed and asks how he would judge the quality of the seeds. Galladons fins them satisfactory and soon he plants the corn in one of the gardens and starts growing food.{{book ref

=== Appearance on Roshar ===
Galladon appears as '''Temoo''' on [[Roshar]]. [[Purelake]] fisherman [[Ishikk]] calls him '''Grump'''.{{qa 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]]{{qa 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.{{book ref
