}}{{for|Vedekar Perel|the Sebarial officer in Urithiru}}
== History ==
He commanded a battalion that included heavy infantry and spearmen.{{book ref|sa2|81}} Adolin asked him to prepare a charge against the [[listener]]s{{book ref|sa2|81}} near some bright lighting [[fabrial]]s placed by [[Navani]].{{book ref|sa2|82}} However, the listeners focused their attention on Adolin and rendered him unable to break through their front, thwarting the Alethi strategy.{{book ref|sa2|81}} Perel called a partial retreat and reported to Adolin that the two armies were in a stalemate. He was confused as to why some of the enemy forces continued to sing behind the lines rather than joining the fight.{{book ref|sa2|82}} Adolin wanted to stop the singing, but Perel warned him against attempting a solo assault. Adolin decided to have Perel take some soldiers and create a distraction{{book ref|sa2|82}} while he launched a sneak attack on the singers by traveling through the hollow rock formations.{{book ref|sa2|82}}
== Trivia ==
* Perel uses the idiom "treading water" to describe the stalemate during the battle. Adolin has no idea what he is talking about, and Perel calls it a "swimming term".{{book ref|sa2|82}}
* Perel shares a name and some characteristics with [[Vedekar Perel]], an officer in the [[Sebarial]] army who was found murdered in [[Urithiru]] and was likely present at the Battle of Narak.{{book ref|sa3|9}} At one point, [[General Khal]] and [[Dalinar]] specifically mentioned the possibility of using Sebarial troops to support Adolin.{{book ref|sa2|81}} However, Adolin claims that he did not know Vedekar Perel{{book ref|sa3|9}} and [[May Aladar]]'s investigation indicates that he was known as a quiet administrator, not a soldier.{{book ref|sa3|13}}{{book ref|sa3|15}}
