Appearance and Personality

“It was now, when his rage became cold, that he grew truly dangerous. This was when Father got quiet. This was when the yelling stopped.
Father’s yelling, at least.”

—Shallan describing her father's rage

Lin Davar is a large, tall man. He doesn't care about the latest trends when determining what to wear, instead keeping an unfashionable beard and style of clothes. His clothes wouldn't look out of place in his grandfather's generation, wearing an ulatu, a tight shirt, and a robe. Lin is controlling of his family and household. When he feels they are not obeying him, he lashes out in an bestial rage. His anger usually shows itself as screams. However, at his most dangerous, Lin is willing to beat people to the point of being crippled or dead. Others under his power are terrified of him and the harm he might do to them.

History

He was first married to Shallan's mother. Together, the two of them had Helaran, Balat, Wikim, Jushu, and Shallan. When Shallan was eleven, he walked into his wife and her friend trying to kill Shallan for being a surgebinder. He managed to cut the friend, but eventually got pinned down as Shallan used her shardblade to kill both her mother and her mother's friend. In the panicked aftermath, Lin locked the shardblade into his strongbox, forgetting it would immediately disappear. He picked up Shallan and comforted her by singing her a childhood lullaby and promising to protect her. To keep his promise, Lin let everyone believe he'd killed his wife in order to protect Shallan, but the secret drove him to becoming violent and volatile.

by User: SheepConfronting Helaran

In the months after the murders, Lin tried to maintain control of his house with increasing difficulty. He tried to stop Helaran from leaving the house to join his friends, but Helaran held him off by summoning his own shardblade, the existence of which came as a shock to Lin. Lin tried to explain the circumstances around their mother's death, but Helaran refused to listen. Helaran threatened to kill Lin, but Shallan spoke up for the first time in five months, begging him not to. Lin was spared with a threat, and Helaran left Lin to remain in charge while he left. In a fit of rage, Lin smashed a table and chairs in rage. Relations in the household became more strained over the next months. Screaming was a common occurrence. During Helaran's visits, the two men avoided each other. Lin also began hosting feasts more frequently.

From notes and maps found after his death and from letters he was receiving Balat surmised that his father was making a play for the title of high prince, and was supported by some powerful men, namely the Ghostbloods.

After her death he remarried to Malise Gevelmar. He beat her, his sons, an the servants in the house. The only person he never touched was Shallan, instead beating others in her name when he felt she deserved it. This culminated in his murder of Malise when he learned of her plan to run away. He would've likely killed Balat and Eylita as well, but Shallan poisoned him with blackbane and then strangled him before he could.

After his death, his children found he owned a soulcaster and a collection of maps which they could not understand.

He was somehow influenced by Odium.
