Notum is a tall honorspren who dresses in a tight, sharp, but outdated naval uniform that is a part of his substance. Notum also has a beard, with a shaved chin and a thin mustache that connects to a thin line of hair that runs up his cheeks and connects to his sideburns. Like all honorspren, Notum stands with an imperious bearing and glows a soft blue-white color.{{book ref|sa3|108}}
Notum is the epitome of what it means to be an honorspren. He has sworn an oath to [[Honor]] and tries his best to live by that, believing that oaths and promises are crucial.{{book ref|sa3|108}} He is a loyal servant of the [[Stormfather]], and unwilling to compromise his beliefs, but can be swayed by arguments that involve oaths other people have made. Notum is a cautious spren; he understands that the strength of humankind is their dynamic personalities, although he still believes that the [[Nahel bond]] risks disaster
Notum strongly cares for his crew and is very defensive of them. He struggles with the fact that by allowing Syl escape, he is putting his crew in harm's way.{{book ref|sa3|110}} He is willing to consider that he is wrong when presented with evidence; after [[Adolin]] saves him, he realizes humans are not all despicable and defends him, even at great personal cost, at his trial.{{book ref|sa4|87}}
== History ==
=== Early Life ===
Notum was born after the [[Recreance]], four generations after the Stormfather was moved to recreate the honorspren.{{book ref|sa3|108}} At some point in his past, he swore an oath to Honor and the truths that the honorspren follow. Notum spent at least some time in the honorspren capital, [[Lasting Integrity]], doing the [[Stormfather]]'s bidding, during which time he got to know Sylphrena.{{book ref|sa3|110}} He also became the captain of ''Honor's Path''. In early 1174, Notum and his crew took port in [[Celebrant]].{{book ref|sa3|102}} After a disturbance in the city, the ship was preparing to flee, but after [[Sylphrena]] called out to his ship, revealing her identity, he took her and her companions aboard the ship. Notum initially confined the Radiants and their spren to their quarters; however, after a week's travel, he released all of them but Syl because he claimed that it was dishonorable to hold people who were not prisoners against their will. He kept Syl in captivity, though, intending to deliver her to the honorspren capital. Upon her release to the deck, Notum gave [[Shallan]] permission to bring the [[Cognitive Realm|Cognitive]] aspect beads on the deck and practice visualizing them. He briefly explained to her how the beads work in [[Shadesmar]].{{book ref|sa3|108}}▼

Days later, Notum attempted to remove [[Kaladin]] from the upper deck of his ship. Kaladin again tried to convince him to release Syl from her quarters. Notum threatened to lock Kaladin up again or throw him overboard. Notum explained to Kaladin that he considered Kaldin's relationship with Syl to be inappropriate and dangerous. He also explained to Kaladin that Syl was one of the Stormfather's first children and the only honorspren survivor of the Recreance, which was why the Stormfather was so protective of her. Notum also believed that the Nahel bond was dangerous without Honor and that Kaladin and Syl should separate. Kaladin tried again to convince Notum to free Syl, and he walked away but allowed Kaladin to remain on deck. When [[windspren]] took an interest in Kaladin, Notum watched them and exclaimed that he had never seen
After several hours spent trying to outrun the Fused, Notum agreed to help. He freed Syl and had his crew unlatch a section of the hull for the Radiants and their spren to escape through. [[Vivenna|Azure]] asked him to have his crew cut bales of cloth into [[Awakening|specific shapes]], and Notum gave the order
