In one of [[Dalinar Kholin]]'s visions, he appeared as a tall muscular man with dark skin and pure white hair, wearing billowing trousers and a waist-length coat, both of which seemed to be made of gold. Dalinar considered this clothing strange, which may indicate that it was from [[Yolen]]—or it may simply be a reflection of how style had changed since Tanavast recorded the visions.{{book ref|sa1|75}}
 
Little is known about Tanavast as a person, but the people who met him have an excellent opinion of him. He seems to be the only original Vessel with whom [[Hoid]] has a good relationship, and is, aside from [[Ati]], the only one Hoid ever praises, calling him a decent person.{{book ref|sa2|epilogue}} The [[Stormfather]] insists that Tanavast did love mankind, even dying to defend them.{{book ref|sa3|111}} Tanavast himself seems to have been highly dedicated to his role as a deity and protective of humanity, even apologizing in visions for getting himself killed.{{book ref|sa1|75}}

To counter the [[Fused]], he formed the [[Oathpact]] with the ten [[Herald]]s, which bound the Fused to [[Braize]] after death.
