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.
