At some point in his life, Thakka joined the Kholin army where he proved himself an accomplished warrior, rising to became the captain of Dalinar's elites.{{book ref|sa3|3}} He accompanied Dalinar during the Alethi Unification War. Thakka and the elites accompanied Dalinar as he raided one the other highprince's capitals. After Dalinar and his elites broke the enemy resistance, and killed Highlord [[Yezriar]] Thakka was ordered by Dalinar to prevent the soldiers from looting and instead raid the buildings and round up the families of the soldiers to encourage them to lay down arms. In that moment, Dalinar was shot by [[Teleb]] in an assassination attempt. Thakka attempted to shield Dalinar with his body, but he was shoved aside by Dalinar, who wanted to see who had managed to shoot him. He rode with Dalinar up to the nearby ridge Teleb had been shooting from. Thakka spoke to Teleb with Dalinar, expressing surprise that he had fired from almost four hundred yardyards. When Dalinar ordered Teleb to reproduce his shot, Thakka drew his sword, prepared to kill Teleb if the man attempted to hurt Dalinar again. Thakka told Teleb that Dalinar had killed Yezriar, and after Teleb agreed to join Dalinar's elites Thakka found Teleb's family so that they could be certain that Teleb would remain loyal.
