'''Torol Sadeas''' is an [[Alethi]] [[Highprince]] on [[Roshar]]. He commands one of the most significant armies on the [[Shattered Plains]], alongside [[Dalinar Kholin]]. He is the current Highprince of Information and owns a [[Shardplate]] and Dalinar Kholin's old [[Shardblade]], [[Oathbringer]]. He is married to [[Ialai Sadeas|Ialai]], a curvaceous woman who dyes her hair.{{ref|b|twok|c|54}}
 
== Appearance and Personality ==
He has a bulbous head, curly hair and ruddy face.
 
Sadeas is a cruel man who doesn't care about the lives of the bridgemen. He tried giving them shields once and took them away once the [[Parshendi]] began firing arrows into his soldiers and horses. In showing his cruelty towards the Bridgemen, [[Gaz]] approaches and tells [[Kaladin]] that Sadeas has ordered the wounded men of Bridge Four to not receive food or pay for the duration of time they can't run bridges.{{ref|b|twok|c|21}}
 
Sadeas believes the Codes are a bunch of idealisedidealized nonsense, exhibiting [[Gavilar Kholin]]'s death for his mistrust in their guidelines. His conviction for the Alethi way is indomitable, often not being able to reconcile with foreign ethics, such as the Codes and Dalinar's adherence to them.
 
Before Gavilar was assassinated, Sadeas and Dalinar were actually good friends. They maintain their respect for the other's abilities and appear cordial in person, but Sadeas secretly wants to outmaneuver Dalinar any way he can.{{ref|b|twok|c|15}}
 
== History ==
Sadeas is first introduced when he is participating in a hunt out on the Plains with [[Dalinar]], Dalinar's two sons, [[Renarin]] and [[Adolin]], and the King of Alethkar, [[Elhokar]]. Sadeas shows a consistent trait of his by taunting Dalinar over his lack of recent success in capturing gemhearts[[gemheart]]s.{{ref|b|twok|c|12}}
 
When they arrive at the plateau where preparations for the hunt are under way, a [[chasmfiend]] appears on the plateau with all the courtiers and scribes, instead of the smaller plateau the hunt was supposed to take place on.
 
Dalinar, Adolin, and Elhokar immediately dash for the chasmfiend, hoping to kill it before it hurts any bystanders. From a distance, Sadeas uses his grandbow to weaken it while Dalinar and Adolin go for its legs and Elhokar distracts it. At some point in the battle, Elhokar's saddle strap breaks, throwing him to the ground. To save him from being crushed, Dalinar, with Shardplate-enhanced strength, catches the claw that would have otherwise crushed Elhokar. Adolin continues to cut off its legs and the chasmfiend is eventually unable to support its own weight. Elhokar summons his Shardblade again and uses it to kill the chasmfiend, then harvest its gemheart.
Sadeas shows he has the mindset of most Alethi when he can't reconcile how Dalinar could have more important things to attend than the war and vengeance for Gavilar. While Dalinar takes a moralistic stance, a very un-Alethi way of thinking, Sadeas is only concerned with efficiency and results. From this point on the argument deteriorates until Sadeas insults Dalinar's sons, which is diffused only by their mutual understanding for the safety of the king, not allowing their rivalry to descend into open conflict.
 
It is revealed Sadeas and Dalinar planned to manipulate Highprince Vamah into using more of Elhokar's Soulcasters, proving the two of them can work together in the best interests of the king. During the night of Gavilar's assassination, Sadeas acted as a decoy in an attempt to lead [[Szeth-son-son-Vallano]] away so Gavilar could escape. Dalinar tells Adolin that Sadeas has sworn to protect Elhokar at any cost.{{ref|b|twok|c|15}}
 
Dalinar has been investigating the cut girth strap on the king's saddle but at one particular king's feast, Elhokar announces that in light of the recent attempt on his life with the saddle, he is appointing Sadeas to Highprince of Information to investigate. This is to spite Dalinar who Elhokar believes is not taking the investigation seriously. Sadeas learntlearned of Dalinar's request to be Highprince of War and this is Sadeas' way of outmanoeuvringoutmaneuvering his opponent.{{ref|b|twok|c|22}}
 
=== As Highprince of Information ===
The plan went accordingly for a time. Sadeas managed to get his forces across the bridges and onto the Tower, carving out a landing platform for Dalinar to follow. Both forces were separated by the Parshendi, Sadeas to the west, Dalinar on the eastern edge, fighting inward. When another Parshendi force appeared behind Dalinar, Sadeas retreated to the northern plateau, pulling the eight bridge crews he'd leant Dalinar with him. He had abandoned Dalinar Kholin.
 
Upon Sadeas' returning to camp he is met by [[Navani Kholin]] and he has to be the harbinger of grave news. He offers his condolences and makes excuses to make it appear as if he tried all he could to save Dalinar but was ultimately overwhelmed by the Parshendi himself and forced back. Sadeas offers vengeance, claiming Dalinar was both a friend and an ally, shortly before Dalinar himself shows up, alive.
 
Sadeas attempts to reconcile with Dalinar, offering an apology that Dalinar accepts publicallypublicly. However, the two step up close so no-one can overhear them and when Dalinar asks why, Sadeas claims he was upholding his oath: “Protect Elhokar. Protect this kingdom.” Gavilar obeyed the Codes and died from that “weakness.” Sadeas is of the mind that Elhokar is being influenced in a similar way by Dalinar's insistence of the Codes, beginning to worry when the king talks of retreating from the Plains, as Dalinar had wanted. Their friendship had been over a long time as Sadeas just wanted him gone.
 
Before leaving, Dalinar asked Sadeas to give him the members of [[Bridge Four]] in a promise he made to Kaladin. Sadeas refused the initial offers, he would not give up his bridgemen for a thousand broams each, he said. Dalinar summoned his Shardblade and drove it point first in the earth before Sadeas and offered up his Blade in exchange for every brigdemen in Sadeas' camp.{{ref|b|twok|c|69}} Sadeas appeared shocked but agreed, gaining the Blade he always desired.
