Nale was born on [[Ashyn]], either before or during the great calamity that befell it and forced the human population to leave around 7000 years before the True Desolation.{{book ref|sa4|14}}{{book ref|sa4|76}} Like most others who would eventually become [[Herald]]s, he travelled to [[Roshar]] to settle there.{{wob ref|11945}} He was either a king, scholar, or general before becoming a Herald.{{book ref|sa3|38}}
Sometime afterwards, when the [[Desolation]]s began, Nale joined the [[Oathpact]], becoming a Herald of the [[Almighty]].{{book ref|sa1|prelude}} It appears that, at the time, he and [[Jezrien]] were enemies, though the precise nature of the confict between them is unknown. Eventually, Nale was proven right, while Jezrien turned out wrong. Impressed with Nale's integrity, Jezrien approached Nale about his participation in the Oathpact, to which Nale graciously agreed.{{book ref|sa4|47}}
When the [[Surgebinder]]s began appearing, Nale was initially reluctant to take them under his patronage, even though the nascent [[Skybreakers]] named him their master. Following some sort of the disturbance in the toparchy of [[Revv]], however, he agreed to do so, becoming the last Herald to formally accept his [[Knights Radiant]].{{epigraph ref|sa2|43}} He eventually ended up bonding a [[highspren]] and joining his own Radiant Order, becoming the only Herald to have done so.{{book ref|sa3|106}}{{book ref|sa4|47}}{{wob ref|12600}} It unclear whether his highspren followed him to [[Braize]] or was left in [[Shadesmar]].{{wob ref|15649}}
