The Stormfather is a spren. He is the cognitive shadow of the [[Almighty]]{{reddit ref|http://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/|2ytg2h/im_novelist_brandon_sanderson_ama/|cpcymiw|text=AMA, Cognitive shadows|date=2015-03-12}}; in his own words, "the memory men create for him, now that he is gone."{{book ref|sa2|89}} Despite the Vorin view of him, he has stated that he is not a Herald.{{book ref|sa2|83}}
 
According to [[Listener]] beliefs he is one of the [[Spren]] which betrayed them and protected the humans instead of [[listener]]s.He is still respected however due to his power, and it is thought that he would kill any who do not respect him.This leads to a mix of awe and fear being felt for him by the [[Listener]]s.{{book ref|sa2|I|5}}
