==Power==
He was the carrier of [[Dalinar]]'s visions. He controls the [[highstorm]]s, and can summon them to a location.{{book ref|sa2|83}} At least one of the [[Bondsmith]]s [[Nahel bond|bonded]] him as their [[spren]]; in ''Words of Radiance'', this is Dalinar Kholin.{{book ref|sa2|89}} He appears as a giant face during highstorms, although it's unclear whether non-Surgebinders can see him.{{book ref|sa1|35}} It was mentioned in [[Listener]] songs that he could appear to some during a storm, although it was only in song and unheard of to actually happen.{{book ref|sa2|I|5}}
He mentions to [[Eshonai]] that he would protect her from her own transformation into stormform if he could, but that it was not within his power to shelter people.{{book ref|sa2|I|5}}
==History==
The stormfather is an incredibly powerful [[spren]] who likely had existed so long as there were [[highstorm]]s.It appears he can hold onto memories perfectly or at least better than other [[spren]], as he was aware of what had been done to the rest of the [[spren]] by their human counterparts.{{book ref|sa2|32}}
The stormfather is first seen directly when [[Kaladin]] is strung up to face his judgment by order of [[Torol Sadeas]].[[Kaladin]] glimpses him as a large face, as vast as the entire sky before him but later questions whether he had just been delirious from the onslaught of the [[highstorm]].{{book ref|sa1|21}}
He is shown again directly the second time that [[Kaladin]] dreams of being the [[highstorm]] as it passes overhead.Here [[Kaladin]] recognises the dream sequence and begins dreaming lucidly, allowing him to turn around and speak to the Stormfather directly.He accuses [[Kaladin]] of being a traitor who will hurt and kill [[Syl]].He mentions that he believes humans cannot be trusted, and then gives [[Kaladin]] a warning and an apology before he wakes up.{{book ref|sa2|32}}
At one point [[Dalinar]] began forming a [[nahel bond]] with the stormfather and this lead to him receiving visions of the past during a [[highstorm]] during the [[War of Reckoning]].
