Brightlord '''Tasinar''' is one of [[Kaladin]]'s former slavers on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa3|17}}
==Appearance and Personality==
Tasinar uses the title "Brightlord"{{book ref|sa3|97}} and is therefore a [[lighteyes]]; he is likely [[Alethi]], although it is possible that he hails from another [[Vorin]] nation. Like many lighteyes, he has little regard for the lives of [[darkeyes]]. When some of his slaves are killed, he bemoans the fact that his property is being destroyed.{{book ref|sa3|97}}
==History==
Tasinar owned Kaladin after his expulsion from [[Amaram]]'s army. One of Tasinar's other slaves at the time was named [[Nalma]], whom Kaladin befriended. He promised to help her escape so that she could find her husband, who was illegally sold to a different slaver. Kaladin led Nalma and a few other slaves on his most successful escape attempt as a slave; they were able to hide in the forest for about a week.{{book ref|sa3|97}} Tasinar sent a hunting party of [[lighteyes]]—including a local highlord—to find the escapees, and they steadily closed in. The hunting party used brutal techniques, and all of the slaves except Kaladin were killed during their capture.{{book ref|sa3|97}} Kaladin was with Nalma when she died, and her death had a lasting emotional effect on him.{{book ref|sa3|118}} Kaladin was later reminded of the escape attempt from Tasinar when he was crossing through fields and forests with the [[singer]] group that he encountered after the coming of the [[Everstorm]].{{book ref|sa3|17}}
