Stormfather
The Stormfather is a powerful spren on Roshar. He is the personification of storms and the divine. In Vorinism, he is identified with the Herald Jezerezeh.
Nature
The Stormfather is a spren. He is the cognitive shadow of the Almighty[1]; in his own words, "the memory men create for him, now that he is gone."[2] Despite the Vorin view of him, he has stated that he is not a Herald.[3]
According to Listener beliefs he is one of the Spren which betrayed them and protected the humans instead of listeners.[4]
Power
He was the carrier of Dalinar's visions. He controls the highstorms, and can summon them to a location.[3] At least one of the Bondsmiths bonded him as their spren; in Words of Radiance, this is Dalinar Kholin.[2] He appears as a giant face during highstorms, although it's unclear whether non-Surgebinders can see him.[5]
Other
Being strung up in a highstorm is referred to as being judged by the Stormfather.[6]
He considers the honorspren to be his children.[3]
He was not always present within the highstorms.[7]
