Ilamar is the cavalrylord for Highprince Dalinar Kholin's army on Roshar.[2]
Appearance and Personality[edit]
Ilamar is a lighteyed Alethi man; however, the red patches in his otherwise dark hair and his long red moustache imply some Veden or Unkalaki heritage as well. He has a squat and compact frame.[2] Dalinar Kholin considers him both a good soldier and a good friend.[1]
History[edit]
Around 1145, in Gavilar Kholin's decisive battle against Highprince Kalanor, Ilamar and his group of fifty cavalrymen fought armed with hooks and ropes for attacking enemy Shardbearers.[3]
In 1173, Ilamar continued to lead the cavalry during the War of Reckoning. He notified Dalinar that the cavalry was ready to head onto the Shattered Plains in pursuit of a gemheart, but Torol Sadeas delayed the excursion, demanding to enter the Kholin warcamp to investigate an assassination attempt on the king. Once at the location of the gemheart, Ilamar waited for Dalinar and Adolin to clear a plateau of Parshendi before he led the cavalry across on bridges.[2]
Dalinar conferred with Ilamar and Teleb on the battlefield about a month later before assaulting the Tower.[4] Ilamar died during the Battle of the Tower along with Havar, Perethom, and six thousand more members of Kholin army.[1]
