| Titles | Highmarshal of Alethkar |
| Nationality | Alethi |
| Homeworld | Roshar |
| Universe | Cosmere |
Highmarshal Halad is a respected figure in the military circles of Alethkar on Roshar. His strategies and philosophy heavily influence Alethi military tradition.[1]
Adolin Kholin quoted several axioms attributed to Halad while he and Shallan discussed confronting Re-Shephir in the lower levels of Urithiru.[1]
It is not clear if Halad is a contemporary or historical figure. As a Highlord, he is presumably a lighteyes of the third dahn.[2]
Quotes[edit]
“ To beat someone, you must first know them. ”
— Highmarshal Halad[1]
“ Plan every battle as if you will inevitably retreat, but fight every battle like there is no backing down. ”
— Highmarshal Halad[1]
Trivia[edit]
- Adolin's references to Halad evoke real-life military strategist Sun Tzu. Halad's axiom about knowing the enemy seems to paraphrase a famous quote from The Art of War.[3]
