== Appearance and Personality ==
Vorin artwork seems to present Kalak as a young man.{{file ref|Kalak.jpg|Kalak's chapter capstone}} His personality prior to the [[Desolation]]s is uknown; however, by the end of it, he's terrified of dying yet again. He has vivid, painful memories of the torture that sometime cause him to briefly lose his grip on reality. He knows that he's losing his mind and growing weak, and when given the choice to abandon the Oathpact, he's aware and terrified of the consequences. However, by this point his fear of torture far outweighs his sense of duty.{{book ref|sa|prelude}} Following [[Aharietiam]], Kalak has grown more skittishnessskittish and paranoiaparanoid.{{book ref|sa3|prologue}}

== Trivia ==
* It's been heavily speculated (and may sometimes be noted as a fact) that Kalak is the man accompanying [[Nale]] during the feast prior to the [[Assassination of Gavilar]]. This ishas, however, yet to be explicitely confirmed.
* Though his name became "Kelek" due to linguistic drift, Kalak is one of three Heralds, alongside [[Shalash]] and [[Pailiah]], whose names are symmetrical under [[Vorin]] rules.
* Kalak is one of the only three Heralds so far to have a viewpoint in ''[[The Stormlight Archive]]'', the others being Shalash and [[Taln]], as the Prelude is written from his perspective. However, unlike the other two, he isn't slated to have his own book.
