|The Stormfather on Tanavast{{book ref|sa3|111}}
}}
=== Appearance ===
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}}
=== Personality ===
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}}▼

Whenever mankind discovered the truth of the Desolations, he would comfort them and convince them that their fight was still justified. Arguing that it doesn't matter what their ancestors just did, only that they were defending themselves against a present enemy.{{book ref|sa3|113}}
Late in his life, as his death grew near, he began to go insane, raving about Dawnshards and telling mankind that they would destroy Roshar like they destroyed Ashyn before.{{book ref|sa3|113}} He also came to care more about oaths themselves, rather than the meaning behind it.{{book ref|sa3|111}} This insanity directly led to the [[Recreance]].{{cite}} Yet, despite his madness, he died defending humanity.{{book ref|sa3|111}}
