'''Elhokar Kholin'''
He
Despite his own uncertainty in his ability to rule, Elhokar was capable of making decisive action and manages to control the [[Highprince]]s, if just barely. He was also a capable warrior, despite being easily defeated by his uncle. His wife [[Aesudan Kholin|Aesudan]]{{ref|b|sa2|prologue}} is managing the Kingdom in his absence.▼
==Appearance and Personality==
Elhokar is described as having light yellow eyes and 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 does. {{ref|b|sa1|c|12}}
Elhokar suffers from a deep paranoia and fear of assassins, especially after his father is killed. Because of his suspicious nature, he wears his Shardplate far more often than other ShardbearersHe dislikes when people mention his father, believing correctly that the Alethi often compare him unfavorably to Gavilar.

==History==
Elhokar mainly serves as an unwitting obstacle to Dalinar as his uncle attempted to unite the Highprinces.
Elhokar's father and the former King of [[Alethkar]], [[Gavilar]] was assassinated by [[Szeth]], prompting the ten [[Alethi]] Highprinces to declare war on the [[Parshendi]] under the [[Vengeance Pact]], after they claimed responsibility for the assassination. Due to Elhokar's youth and paranoia his ability to rule was questioned by those under his rule and he maintained a weakened authority over the ten Highprinces. The King's paranoia stemmed from the assassination of his father and he feared that he would meet the same fate,{{ref|b|sa1|c|12}} although he overcompensated on the battlefield and often acted recklessly to the dismay of his family and guards.{{ref|b|sa1|c|12}} This paranoia was furthered by his ability to see strange creatures (possibly [[truthspren]]) in mirrors.{{ref|b|sa1|c|58}} Due to this ability it is theorized that Elhokar could become a [[Soulcaster]] like [[Jasnah]] and [[Shallan Davar]], and be able to Soulcast without the use of a [[fabrial]].
