Stormfather is likely to be one of the oldest entities in the [[cosmere]], as the [[highstorm]]s he commands predate even the [[Shattering of Adonalsium]].{{wob ref|8624}} During the early millennia of his existence, he was not particularly congizant or self-aware, but rather simply the uncaring storm.{{book ref|sa3|113}} Even back then, however, he was capable of bonding with humans.{{book ref|sa3|108}}
Following Gavilar's death, Stormfather began sending his visions to the younger brother. This led to Dalinar's reputation in the [[Alethi]] warcamps plummeting, but also to him beginning to research the Desolations and making the first attempt at truly uniting Alethkar.{{book ref|sa1|12}} At the same time, as [[Kaladin]] was bonding Syl, Stormfather was keeping an eye on him. When Kaladin was strung up by to face his judgement by [[Torol Sadeas|Sadeas]]' orders, Stormfather appeared, as if observing him, although Kaladin later assumed it was a delirious hallucination.{{book ref|sa1|34}}

Stormfather later visited Kaladin directly in a dream, where the two had a conversation. He accused Kaladin of being a traitor, and shared his belief that humans couldn't be trusted.{{book ref|sa2|32}} His predictions seemingly came true when Kaladin killed Syl by breaking his bond.{{book ref|sa2|69}} Stormfather visited him in a subsequent highstorm to tell him that she was dead and that Kaladin would never [[Surgebind]] again. While he let [[Shallan]] see him as well, he didn't speak with her.{{book ref|sa2|74}}

During the [[Battle of Narak]], Stormfather spoke to Dalinar out of a vision, claiming that the Alethi were lost, and promising to send a highstorm to sweep away their bodies. At the same time, Syl began to regain her consciousness, and so Stormfather departed to stop her from re-bonding Kaladin.{{book ref|sa2|83}} Despite his best efforts, Syl succeeded, and Stormfather reluctantly conceded.{{book ref|sa2|84}}
