The Stormfather is one of the three great [[Bondsmith]] spren. Forming a [[Nahel Bondbond]] with him grants one the power over the [[Surge]]s of [[Tension]] and [[Adhesion]].{{file ref|TWoK Front Endsheet.jpg|Surgebinding Chart}} He is currently bonded with [[Dalinar Kholin]].{{book ref|sa2|89}}
 
While a Bondsmith can use Adhesion the way a [[Windrunner]] would,{{book ref|sa3|28}} they can also apply their powers in different manner, using them more in the [[Spiritual Realm|Spiritual]]. Using Spiritual Adhesion, a Bondsmith can form a connection between themselves and another person, allowing them to speak their language.{{book ref|sa3|65}} They also seem capable of hearing the spiritual aspects of objects, and use this to mend broken things back whole.{{book ref|sa3|59}} Bondsmiths can also summon Stormlight at will, although this requires significant effort.{{wob ref|12295}}{{book ref|sa3|122}}
The Stormfather is the creator of the modern [[honorspren]], a duty that was bestowed upon him by [[Honor]] shortly before the latter's death. Following the [[Recreance]], where almost all of them have been killed, he stopped doing so; however, he would eventually create ten of them, which would eventually create others, leading to the resurgence of the race.{{book ref|sa3|108}}
 
Today, many honorspren treat him as an honored ancestor and obey his wishes, with [[Syl]] in particular referring to him as her father.{{book ref|sa3|108}}{{book ref|sa2|86}} The Stormfather, in turn, considers them his children.{{book ref|sa2|83}} He apparently exerts some influence over their ability to form [[Nahel Bondbond]]s, although he cannot stop them if their Surgebinder says the proper Oaths.{{book ref|sa2|84}}

=== Visions and Bonds ===
At some point shortly before the [[True Desolation]], Syl was rediscovered, and the Stormfather arranged to have her delivered to one of the honorspren cities, ordering [[Notum]] to keep an eye on her.{{book ref|sa3|108}}{{book ref|sa3|110}} Against his wishes, she eventually escaped to form a [[Nahel Bondbond]] after realizing that a new Desolation was coming.{{book ref|sa3|95}}
 
Around the same time, the Stormfather began sending out his visions. While there were less than ten people to have received them, the only ones known are [[Gavilar]] and [[Dalinar Kholin]].{{wob ref|12268}} Gavilar began seeing them shortly before his death, although he interpreted them far differently than they were supposed to be.{{wob ref|3316}} This led indirectly to the creation of the [[Diagram (literature)|Diagram]], as well as Gavilar's cooperation with the [[Sons of Honor]] in a bid to bring the [[Herald]]s back, even if it meant starting a new Desolation.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}}{{book ref|sa2|88}}
