== Attributes and Abilities ==
 
He also commands the [[:Category: Kholin army|Kholin Army]], though, in battles, he often passes the command to his eldest son. The army is large and well-trained, although it takes significant losses in the [[Battle of the Tower]].{{book ref|sa2|2}} The [[Cobalt Guard]] and [[Bridge Four]], two units of honor guard dedicated to protecting the king and the Kholins, are also part of the army. He also once had a group of soldiers who accompanied him into battle, [[Dalinar's elites]], but they seem to have been dissolved by the [[War of Reckoning]], though some of their members still fight for him.
 
Dalinar’s presence is often regarded as incredibly powerful, perhaps even unconsciously so. At the feast before Gavilar’s assassination, Navani notes that Dalinar seems to attract his own cluster of lighteyes, likening the arrangement to planets orbiting around a star, at once hungry for and fearful of the fire. When meeting with the high princes for a council on the Shattered Plains, Shallan likens him to a boulder as he stands, causing everyone to stop arguing and listen to what he has to say.
 
=== Visions ===
 
At the [[Battle of Narak]], the [[Stormfather]] informs Dalinar that he would receive no more new visions.{{book ref|sa2|89}} However, after becoming the Stormfather's bonded [[Knight Radiant]], Dalinar can replay the previous ones at will during [[highstorm]]s. He can even bring in other people to share the vision with him, as long as they are inside a highstorm at the time or they are physically touching him.{{book ref|sa3|56}}
 
As he gets closer to becoming a Bondsmith, Dalinar begins to be able to shape his visions and has had two vision-like experiences that the Stormfather disclaims any responsibility for.{{wob ref|14906}}{{book ref|sa2|89}}{{book ref|sa3|107}} The first happens just before he formally bonds the Stormfather and shows his childhood home, followed by an enveloping warmth.{{book ref|sa2|89}} The second happens after he flees the [[Thrill]] at [[Vedenar]] and shows [[Nohadon]] go shopping, followed by a [[thunderclast]] attack.{{book ref|sa3|103}}

==== Dalinar Reaches Out ====
==== Dalinar Reaches Out ==== Dalinar and Sadeas worked in tandem to strongarm another Highprince, [[Vamah]], into using the king's [[Soulcaster|Soulcasters]], ensuring that Vamah must depend on Elhokar's resources to continue in the war. Though Adolin was suspicious of Sadeas, who could be unkind at times, Dalinar maintained his belief that Sadeas held the good of Alethkar as his top priority as much as he did. It was situations like this that Dalinar knew that he could trust Sadeas in his goal of uniting the highprinces. Dalinar continued to try and use other means to convince - or manipulate - the other highprinces to follow Elhokar.{{expand|chapter 18 need more detail here}}
 
Dalinar promised Renarin that he would give him a set of [[Shardplate]] as soon as he had one to spare.
==== Urithiru ====
 
Dalinar got everyone to the plateau where the gateway to Urithiru was. Shallan got the Oathgate to work and teleported everyone on the plateau to Urithiru. There, he went to the rooftop of the city's tower and tried to speak with the Stormfather again. The Stormfather answered, but didn't want to help Dalinar at all. The Stormfather was required by the Almighty to share the visions, but the Stormfatherhe was angry at humanity for killing spren in the past. Dalinar didn't give up and demanded a [[Nahel bond|bond]] with him. The Stormfather grudgingly acquiesced, though he had no hope for Dalinar's chances of success at defeating [[Odium]]. Dalinar was now a [[Bondsmith]], one who brought men together.{{book ref|sa2|89}}

He went back to Kaladin, Shallan, and Renarin, the other Radiants that he knew of. He warned them that the Everstorm was coming, and that it would change the [[parshmen]] into those red-eyed Parshendi they knew were [[Voidbringers]]. His task nowwas isthen to try and save as many people as possible for when that happenshappened.{{book ref|sa2|89}}
 
=== Uniting Roshar (1174) ===
While Dalinar was inspecting [[Jezrien]]'s Honorblade which he had in his possession, the Stormfather and Dalinar discussed Odium and his weaknesses, namely whether Odium could be bound by oaths. The Stormfather confirmed that he could be bound. Dalinar, remembering Honor's messages in his visions, suggested that a contest of champions between Odium and the Knights Radiant could hold Odium off if the champion would be defeated. The Stormfather explained that winning such a contest would only delay Odium. He said that to Odium, who was immortal and unchanging, time was immaterial. However, for the humans, winning additional time to prepare would be a worthy goal. After their conversation, Dalinar hid the sword in an empty sewage pipe and decided that the squires of Bridge Four could use it to practice their Surgebinding if Kaladin took much longer to return.{{book ref|sa3|16}}
 
Dalinar wanted to spar to work through these plans, but no ardent was willing to spar with him. Dalinar’s ardents were being pushed to a decision between loyalty to the Almighty, or to Dalinar the known heretic. Instead of one of his ardents, Dalinar ordered [[Aratin]], one of [[General Khal]]’s sons, to spar with him in a wrestling match, which he lost. As the match finished, Navani arrived with word that the [[Iri]]ali queen wanted to speak earlier than scheduled.{{book ref|sa3|2416}}

Dalinar, thinking strategically, tried to get Odium to divulge his plans. Dalinar asked Odium why he could not just leave them Roshar alone and leavedepart Roshar. Odium asked him if he was serious and [[Intention|Intended]] to truly release him from his bonds and set him free. He told Dalinar that if that were to happen he would begin by killing [[Cultivation]] and destroying the remnants of Honor, after which he would significantly alter their realm. Dalinar asked Odium if he would accept a challenge of champions, but Odium declined, saying that he did not need to take the risk since he knew that Dalinar would free him. Dalinar told Odium that now that he had seen him, he was no longer afraid of him. Odium smiled and let Dalinar glimpse a fraction of what he truly was. After it ended Dalinar found himself lying on the ground, completely overwhelmed, with Odium standing over him. It was then that Dalinar realized that the man he was speaking to was a mere mask of Odium's true infinite being. He knew that if Odium's true power were to be unleashed upon Roshar the entire planet would be destroyed in an instant. Odium sensed something nearby and told Dalinar that they would meet again. After Odium left Lift appeared and told Dalinar that she would convince Gawx to go to Urithiru.{{book ref|sa3|57}}
 
=== Leading Roshar (1174 - ) ===
{{image|Diplomat 2 by Marie Seeberger.jpg|side=right|width=350px|Dalinar riding through [[Thaylen City]]}}
 
After Kaladin and Shallan returned from Thaylen City, having unlocked the Oathgate, Dalinar had Malata transport him, Navani, and Taravangian through the portal to meet with Fen. When he arrived, he was struck by how much damage the Everstorm had done to the city. When he met Fen, she offered to give him a tour of the city.{{book ref|sa3|58}} After being led through six temples, Dalinar told Navani that this was boring to him. and sheShe explained why Fen was bringing them to the temples, and Dalinar realized that as a leader he also had to be a diplomat. When they arrived at the temple of [[Battah]], Fen, after a hesitation, let them inside to see the field hospital that had been set up there to care for the people who had been injured by the Everstorm and the escaping parshmen. Taravangian asked Fen if he could bring his surgeons to her city, and she accepted his offer. Dalinar tried to offer her troops to help rebuild, but Fen would not respond. Dalinar realized that Fen was not an absolute authority in Thaylenah and as long as the merchants of the city suspected Dalinar of trying to conquer the city she could not allow him to bring any soldiers into the city.{{book ref|sa3|59}}
 
{{sidequote
}}
 
Fen excused herself, saying that she had to meet with her council. While Dalinar waited, he decided to provoke a fight to show that he did not intend to conquer the city. He started asking [[Kdralk]] questions about the city's defenses, triggering the lad's ire. Dalinar asked him to fight him in a duel with longswords and alternating advantage with Kdralk going first. Dalinar dodged the boy's sword for the duration of the fight until he allowed him to strike him in the chest. Dalinar pulled out the sword and let his Stormlight heal him. The boy told Dalinar that it was his turn to take the sword, but Dalinar declined to fight him, saying that he had already been bloodied. He told Kdralk that if he had been trying to conquer his city he would not be walking around exchanging pleasantries, he would bring an army. To Dalinar's surprise he suddenly felt a rush of shame. He realized that this bullying method of getting his way was the way of the Blackthorn, not the Bondsmith. He walked away to be alone with his thoughts, leaving behind an awed crowd. As he was walking, he heard a voice in his head, the same one he heard in his visions that always told him "''Unite Them''". He soon realized that this was different,; he was hearing hundreds of voices speaking to him together. He realized that he was hearing the spren of the shattered temple and its desire to be whole again. He started gathering the stones of the temple and usingused his Surgebinding to fuse them back together.{{book ref|sa3|59}}
 
{{sidequote
}}
 
After Dalinar had finished fixing the front wall of the temple, he asked a nearby scribe to write to Urithiru telling Renarin to come. By the time Fen had returned, Kdralk and the other soldiers had started gathering the broken stones so Dalinar could fuse them back together, and healed people were streaming out of the field hospital. Dalinar explained to her that they needed her help since if they were alone, they could not win. He told Fen that he needed her strengths to complement his own. Dalinar convinced her to join him and his coalition in Urithiru, and she gave him advice on how he could convince the Azish to join his side.{{book ref|sa3|59}}
her strengths to complement his own. Dalinar convinced her to join him and his coalition in Urithiru and she gave him advice on how he could convince the Azish to join his side.{{book ref|sa3|59}}
 
Dalinar decided to give Jezrien's Honorblade, which he had hidden away, to Bridge Four so they could practice their Surgebinding while their captain was away. While he was retrieving it, he had a conversation with the Stormfather about the Heralds and their current situations. The Stormfather told Dalinar that he was not like an ordinary Bondsmith. He had the powers thatof Ishar, Binder of Gods, before he became the Herald of Luck. He told Dalinar that there were only three Bondsmith spren but did not say who they were. Dalinar then took the Blade to Bridge Four and gave it to them with instructions that they use it to continue their training.{{book ref|sa3|64}}
 
Dalinar then went to his rooms, where Navani and Fen prepared him for his visit to Azimir. Fen gave him a packet of papers which she, Navani, and Jasnah had written as well as a spanreed to communicate with the tower, and Navani handed him a box containing his lunch. As he was walking to the Oathgate, he used [[Adhesion]] to break up a fight between some of Sadeas' and Aladar's soldiers. Dalinar realized that Sadeas's soldiers were getting worse and resolved to come up with a solution to their continued disobedience and brawling. He decided that as a temporary measure he could have them work in Thaylen City repairing the damage the Everstorm had wrought to keep them busy and out of trouble. Jasnah then transported him through the Oathgate, which Lift had unlocked for him, to Azimir.{{book ref|sa3|64}}

==== The War Continues ====
Six months after the battle in Thaylen City Dalinar met with [[Ral-na]], king of the residents of [[Relu-na]], and his son [[Talik]] to negotiate a treaty together so the coalition would have allies in the north in case the enemy began making moves in the region. He had [[Lopen]] speak to them first in order to reassure them about his intentions.{{book ref|sa3.5|3}}
 
==== Contest of Champions (1175) ====
A year later, Dalinar was brought into a vision by Odium, in which he set the terms of their contest of champions: A willing champion for each side would be allowed to go to the top of Urithiru, unharmed by either side, and fight to the death. If Dalinar's champion won, Odium would return Alethkar and Herdaz to the coalition. If Odium's champion won, he would keep those two nations and Dalinar would serve him as a Fused. In either case, Odium would remain bound to the Rosharan system, but would keep the other lands he had won, and both leaders would be required to enforce the peace to the best of their ability. The deal might also lift some restriction on Odium preventing him from sending agents to the rest of the cosmere or provide him with an opportunity to dedicate the resources required to doing so once the war is over and he has secured a foothold on Roshar.{{book ref|sa4|112}} Additionally, at least some of the protections specified for Hoid in Dalinar's initial proposal seem to be in effect.{{book ref|sa4|epilogue}}
 
== Relationships ==
{{update|book=sa3}}
=== Evi ===
 
{{quote
|I hate what this does. I see beauty in you, Dalinar Kholin. I see a great man struggling against a terrible one. And sometimes, you get this look in your eyes. A horrible, terrifying nothingness. Like you have become a creature with no heart, feasting upon sounds to fill that void, dragging pain spren in your wake. It haunts me, Dalinar.
|Evi{{book ref|sa3|71}}
}}
Dalinar often has a strained relationship with Evi, partially because their marriage was political. He does love her, but felt that she was too good for him. Evi hates the way Dalinar kills so many people without mercy, and they often get into fights which often leave Evi in tears. Dalinar tries to evade the topic of his killing whenever he can, but avoiding the argument just makes it worse. Evi cares deeply for Dalinar despite her dislike of violence, and burns prayers constantly for both him and those he slays.{{book ref|sa3|71}} When Dalinar is about to march on the [[Rathalas|Rift]] and destroy it, Evi sneaks into the city to try find a peaceful solution through diplomacy. Dalinar kills all the messengers that come out from the Rift, and thus doesn’t realize that Evi is in the city. After he burns the city alive, Evi along with it, he realizes what has happened and is racked with guilt and grief, and is haunted by both her screams and the screams of the Rifters, likely from the same effect that caused Szeth to hear voices.{{book ref|sa3|76}}{{wob ref|2671}} His grief drives him to visit the [[Nightwatcher]], and his curse is to forget Evi and everything about her. He completely forgets her for several years, unable to hear anyone speak her name or see any pictures of her.{{book ref|sa3|114}} Over time, he eventually gaining his memories of her back.{{book ref|sa3|76}}
 
=== House Kholin ===
Dalinar's relationship with his family is complicated. He idealizes his brother, and, as a younger man, was frequently willing to make sacrifices in Gavilar's favor. However, he also heavily envied him, mostly when it came to Gavilar's wife, [[Navani]], although such moments of envy were often accompanied by an intense sense of shame.{{book ref|sa3|26}} His own marriage was significantly worse, as he and [[Evi]] had little in common, and even after years together, Dalinar still pined for Navani.{{book ref|sa3|36}} While Dalinar did his duty in marrying Evi and fathering children with her, he could not make himself fall in love with her, which he somewhat regretted.{{book ref|sa3|26}} The cultural barrier between the two would lead to a number of misunderstandings, and while Dalinar sometimes let Evi have her way, he often did so out of frustration rather than genuine affection.{{book ref|sa3|66}}

==== Adolin ====
Dalinar's relations with the younger generation of [[House Kholin]] are no less fraught. He has been idealizing [[Adolin]] since the moment the boy was born, and favored him heavily to the detriment of [[Renarin]].{{book ref|sa3|49}}{{book ref|sa3|52}} Although he generally supports him, he often resorts to treating Adolin as a subordinate soldier rather than a son when trying to have his way.{{book ref|sa3|88}}{{book ref|sa1|24}} While outwardly claiming that Adolin doesn't have to be perfect, Dalinar seems to expect it from his son, and the realization that this might not necessarily be the case has him reeling.{{book ref|sa3|122}} Adolin in return adores Dalinar and finds the idea of opposing him to be terrifying.{{book ref|sa1|24}}
 
Though he neglected both of his sons at first, Dalinar soon begins to love Adolin dearly. Adolin has always been a born fighter, and as a young boy would participate in Dalniar’s meetings to learn, and Dalinar enjoyed having him around. Dalinar grooms Adolin as his eventual successor, drilling the Codes into him from his youth. They fight side by side on multiple occasions, and rely on each other. When Dalinar starts having visions from the Stormfather, Adolin initially doubts him, but soon believes his father and becomes one of his strong supporters.
Renarin, on the other hand, was often ignored by his father. Dalinar didn't even participate in selecting the boy's name, ignoring Evi's messages, and quickly lost interest in the boy when it turned out he did not have the capacity to be a soldier.{{book ref|sa3|52}} Even when Renarin was a teen, Dalinar could sometimes forget his name, simply referring to him as "the other one" in his thoughts.{{book ref|sa3|94}} Since his visit to the Nightwatcher, however, the relationship between the two grew better, with Dalinar trying to understand and support Renarin.{{book ref|sa3|12}}{{book ref|sa3|44}}
 
Later, when Elhokar died, Dalinar wants Adolin to become the new king. Adolin refuses as he doesn't believe he is the right person to take the crown. His father could not understand this, and is furious when Adolin admits to killing Sadeas.{{book ref|sa3|122}} The publishing of the Blackthorn's memoir, including the admission of Dalinar's role in Evi's death, caused a further rift between Adolin and his father. Adolin still loves and respects his father but can not forgive him for killing his mother. The young highprince is slowly realizing he has a different moral code than his father.{{book ref|sa4|21}} Nevertheless, Adolin stays loyal and doesn't want to let his father down by failing the mission to the honorspren.{{book ref|sa4|34}}
 
==== Renarin ====
{{quote
|And Renarin? Dalinar, you have two sons, in case you have forgotten. Do you even care about this child’s condition? Or is he nothing to you, now that he can’t become a soldier?
|Evi{{book ref|sa3|66}}
}}
 
From the start, Dalinar usually paid much less attention to Renarin than to Adolin, since because of Renarin’s condition he couldn’t ever be a good fighter.{{book ref|sa3|94}} Dalinar often suggests to Renarin that he become a scholar or an [[ardent]]. Later on, Dalinar grows more loving and supportive, and is encouraging to his son. Dalinar gives Renarin plate and blade, wanting him to be able to defend himself if the need arises. After Renarin becomes a Radiant, Dalinar learns to see his healing abilities as invaluable, and sees that Renarin is indeed strong, though in a different way than he had thought. Dalinar feels shame for his treatment of Renarin, and soon treats him with respect. {{book ref|Sa3|12}}{{book ref|sa3|44}}
 
When Renarin goes to the meetings of the scholars in Urithiru, Dalinar sometimes joins the meetings to show support for his son and to dispel the notion that he is acting unmasculine.{{book ref|sa3|44}} Dalinar and Renarin share a bond over the fact that both of them experience visions against their will. After he learns about what happened to his mother Renarin chooses to blame Odium for her death instead of Dalinar so he would not lose him as well.{{book ref|sa4|54}}
 
==== Elhokar ====
Dalinar grew highly protective of [[Elhokar]] following Gavilar's death, having sworn to himself that he would not let the boy come to harm.{{book ref|sa1|13}} Over time, however, his tendency to take control begins to take precedent. However non-deliberately, Dalinar starts to pull the kingdom out of Elhokar's hands. Though Dalinar isn't happy about it, he does little to stop himself once he realizes it, and often forces his will on his nephew.{{book ref|sa3|12}}{{book ref|sa1|69}} He does see traces of Gavilar in Elhokar; this is, however, rare.{{book ref|sa2|56}}
 
==== Jasnah ====
Dalinar's relationship with [[Jasnah]] is perhaps the best among his relatives. The two bond together over ''The Way of Kings'', and respect each other's knowledge and opinions.{{book ref|sa3|105}} Dalinar considers Jasnah to be the most trustworthy person in his family, often wishing that she would come to the Shattered Plains with him.{{book ref|sa1|22}} Jasnah likewise is willing to aid her uncle, offering heartfelt advice when needed.{{book ref|sa3|56}} After their campaign in Emul, Dalinar asks Jasnah to write the under text of Oathbringer. She agrees, though she promises to hold nothing back.{{book ref|sa4|101}}

=== Navani ===
{{quote
|You have my heart. Always.
|Dalinar{{book ref|sa4|19}}
}}
Dalinar and Navani are deeply in love with each other. They have been for decades now; however, initially, Navani chose Gavilar over his brother. While it is possible this was because Gavilar was a more advantageous match, Navani claims that young Dalinar scared her with his intensity.{{book ref|sa1|28}} Dalinar never stops carrying the torch for her, even after his own marriage, and at one point nearly killed his brother for a chance of being with Navani.{{book ref|sa3|26}} The two part ways shortly after Gavilar's death, with Navani remaining in [[Kholinar]] to keep an eye on [[Aesudan]].{{book ref|sa3|22}}
