Elhokar has green eyes.{{wob ref|11453}}{{ref|group=fn|name=eyes|text=In ''The Way of Kings'' Elhokar is described as having yellow eyes. For ''Words of Radiance'' however Brandon changes them to green, so that they would match the color of Gavilar's to emphasize the family resemblance between father and son.}} He keeps himself clean-shaven. His face is "almost too handsome" with full lips, a broad forehead, and a firm chin. He bears a resemblance to his father, though Elhokar has fewer scars than Gavilar did. {{book ref|sa1|12}}▼

▲Elhokar
Elhokar is deeply paranoid, fearing assassins every since his father was killed by one, and thus wears his [[Shardplate]] far more often than other Shardbearers.{{book ref|sa1|58}} He also has a strong complex about being compared to his father. He vacillates between extremely spoiled, demanding respect for the sheer fact of being a king, and fearful, keenly aware that he does not measure up as a ruler.{{book ref|sa2|80}} He lacks the spine or accomplishments to stand up to [[Dalinar]] when the latter starts to take more and more power, and the highprinces often talk around him, with Elhokar himself serving more as a unifying figurehead than a true leader.{{book ref|sa2|38}} He has a habit of surrounding himself with sycophants and people intent on using him for their own purposes.{{book ref|sa2|62}}{{book ref|sa3|84}} Perhaps related to that, he seems to have very low self-esteem.
While Elhokar is by no means an exceptional leader, he does have some potential, albeit deeply-buried. Despite his own uncertainty in his ability to rule, he's capable of making decisive action and manages to control the [[Highprince]]s, if just barely. He displays a certain sense for politics, and can, display startling insight into the minds of others.{{book ref|sa2|56}} Over time, he comes to acknowledge his own flaws and take steps to rectify it, starting by trying to learn by example from [[Kaladin]] and becoming more selfless.{{book ref|sa3|12}} He's also a devoted husband and father, and though he can't spend much time with his family, he cares for them dearly.{{book ref|sa3|84}}
