He is horrified by the idea that the [[Knights Radiant\|Radiants]] could potentially be returning.{{book ref\|sa2\|35}} Kadash is humble as well.{{book ref\|sa1\|18}} Despite his high rank, he defers to [[lighteyes]], regardless of their age and authority. Kadash believes that it is the duty of Dalinar and the other lighteyes to watch the ardents and ensure they do not rise above their station as they did during the Hierocracy. Kadash is very loyal to Dalinar, as well as to the rest of his family. He has sworn oaths to serve Dalinar and has known the man for many years. For these reasons, Kadash is both unwilling and unable to speak ill of Dalinar even when Dalinar claims that the [[Almighty]] is dead.{{book ref\|sa3\|107}} Kadash is also concerned with the spiritual well-being of his congregation, particularly [[Adolin]].{{book ref\|sa1\|18}} \|side=left\|size=300px }} When Dalinar visited a training room for soldiers and had a wrestling match with [[Aratin Khal]], Kadash went there to check up on Dalinar but got challenged to a duel instead. Kadash declined at first, but accepted the challenge of his Highprince and former comrade-in-arms anyway. Even in a solo duel, Kadash still had the instincts of a soldier, keeping watch on his sides. While they were sparring, Dalinar simultaneously held a [[spanreed]] meeting with the [[~~Iriali~~Iri]]ali queen and a conversation about his beliefs with Kadash. Kadash demanded that Dalinar recant his blasphemy regarding his position on the church, but Dalinar refused to shy away from what he saw as the truth. Kadash eventually lost the match to an invalid dueling strike.{{book ref\|sa3\|16}} Later, Kadash joined King [[Elhokar Kholin]], Dalinar, and Navani on a trip to the Alethi warcamps. They traveled to Shattered Plains via the [[Oathgate]], then were flown to the warcamps by [[Kaladin]] and his [[Windrunners]]. Once they arrived, Kadash visited his office in the camp monastery where he had kept most of his books and spanreeds in a wall safe, as he hadn't had time to pack his belongings when the warcamps were left in haste for Urithiru ten weeks prior. These five spanreeds were linked to the leaders of Vorinism in [[Jah Keved]], [[Herdaz]], [[Kharbranth]], [[Thaylenah]] and [[New Natanan]], and all had been trying to contact Kadash with questions related to the [[Desolation]], yet he did not answer them until scholars from the [[Palanaeum]] had finished sending him passages recently translated from the [[Dawnchant]]. When he admitted this to Dalinar, Dalinar realized that Kadash knew he wasn't mad. Kadash helped Dalinar to find the room in which [[Taln]] had been kept, though he didn't accompany him.{{book ref\|sa3\|50}}
